Hi all, first post here 
I never drank coffee at all for a long time, then my mum got a pod machine. Then I upgraded to learning about coffee with a Breville Barista Touch, I pulled at least 1000 shots through that. When I broke up with my girlfriend, we didn't have kids so I gave her custody of the coffee machine because I'm a nice guy.
During a bout of COVID I learnt about how grinders are so important so I ordered a Eureka Mignon Specialita which is an amazing grinder, and just a little second hand Breville Bambino I found on marketplace.
Anyway, reason I am here to ask advice, is that I am in charge of regularly organising events at work, for 130 people. We've done buffets in the past, but next event is a guy coming to make dutch pancakes. The other guy who is in charge wanted to organise a mobile barista, but I started looking into cold brew and ways we could reduce our costs.
I see there is a Toddy commercial system, where I can make my own cold brew, but this is too time intensive at work, and no one else would care enough to assist me.
I also found this amazing device called Hard Tank and Baby Hard Tank.
But in the meantime, I think concentrate is the way to go. We have hot and cold water dispensers, ice machines and 30 litres of milk delivered weekly already.
I am confused though, some companies say 30ml shots, some say 50ml shots.
Any recommendations between the brands? There is Mr. Bean in 500ml, Soul Origin is cheap at $35 for 2 litres of 30ml shots so 4 litres ($70) would be enough for an event. Also First Press here in Melbourne, Glitch in Newcastle and many more.
Also for cans of nitro coffee, I guess the canning process and distribution makes this much more expensive than concentrate. Cheapest I can find is 9x12=108 cans for $357.
Thanks for reading!
