This portion of our espresso machine advice section deals with the production of larger quantities of espresso for cooling in preparation for making iced coffee in an efficient manner.

It is convenient to make a pitcher of espresso as you near the end of the working day when business might be slower. Espresso made at the end of the day has a chance to cool over night. Another advantage is the use of the remaining ground coffee from the grinder reservoir at the close of business so that the next business day can begin with freshly ground coffee.

It is tedious and inefficient to pour repeated small shots of espresso for this purpose. This problem can be avoided by using a portafilter capable of brewing super large shots of espresso.

The sieve liner at left fits inside the portafilter pictured above. This combination has a capacity of 35 grams of ground coffee and will quickly produce 250ml shots of espresso.
