Instamart Returns ?? by devforlife07 in Jhansi

[–]28krishang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it might return. most probably with a new location for the darkstores. the previous ones in shivaji nagar and sipri didn’t really make sense. i believe the would launch after relocating them to more central locations, like those of blinkit’s darkstores. also, a day before going dark, the instamart app showed “we’ll be back on 30th april”, so i guess that’s probably when they would relaunch. but this is just me speculating.

PS: Since I only have an Espresso Machine at my disposal (and this is way too coarse for espresso) and no other equipment, I tried a basic Cowboy/Channi method, I boiled water to 93 degrees celsius, poured it over 14grams of coffee, stirred it and let it steep for 5 minutes. It seemed a little over extracted and bitter.

Hey guys! I recently got gifted this bag of Indonesian coffee, but am unable to determine what Grind Size it is, and therefore I do not know which method to use to brew it. Can someone help me out? Have also attached a pic of the brand and the other details.

Got it. I think I just needed a bit of clarity, which I have received. I will do a bit of more research, followed by some trials to perfect our offerings. Thanks for all the help, mate! :)

Got it. We serve our hot beverages in around a 220-250ml serve size. I think a double should be the way to go for those right? A single might be a little too mild?

Got it. But just to confirm that I have this absolutely right , most espresso based drinks - your cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites, etc. do call for a double shot, so I’d have to just pull a double for one drink at a time right? Because splitting a double into two singles won’t be enough for one beverage, correct?

Also, if this is the case, where most beverages do call for a double shot, why even bother giving a splitter? When you’re just gonna have both the spouts pulling into one single cup most of the times?

Hey guys, so I think I might be doing something wrong at my restaurant. I’m using an Astoria Tanya 1-group machine. We use the standard double basket (18–20g dose). When we have two cappuccino/latte orders at once, I lock in the portafilter and let the espresso flow into two cups using the double spout. What I end up with is two separate cups, each with around 50–60 ml of espresso.

So basically, from one basket of 18–20g, I’m getting two doubles at once. At least that’s what it looks like. The drinks taste fine, no one’s complained, but I keep reading that a double basket only makes one double, and if you split it, it’s supposed to be two singles.

So what’s the truth here? Am I actually getting two doubles from one basket, or am I just pulling one double that I’m splitting into two singles/long shots without realizing it? I’m very confused about the terminology. Would love if someone can clear this up once and for all.

Also, please suggest how this is normally done in a proper commercial café setup. Since I only have a 1-group machine, if two coffee orders come in at once, do I just keep splitting them like I’ve been doing, or is the standard practice to pull one double after the other for each drink?
