As someone with a scale for coffee: cold brew is very uncritical in terms of amount. Use more and you end up with a more concentrated liquid, use less and you get a more watery thing. Many people also make a concentrated cold brew and then add water to taste.

These are all things that come close to a sin with hot brewed coffee, but cold brewing is different.

I’d say French Press brewing is also very forgiving regarding the amount and quality of the grind. A lot of people forget that not everyone uses an espresso machine for their coffee (probably the least forgiving method of making coffee)

Sure it is, what I said is that most other hot brewing methods are more critical to differences in coffee amount than cold brew methods, not that all of them are totally critical.
I didn’t mean to contradict you. Only to add ;)
