It actually did take a while.
Time goes nearly three times faster in the UK, weird!
My SO bought me one of these for Xmas and i was a little bit “unexcited”
(not to her face of course) and hadn’t bothered even unpacking it properly
til i realised tonight i only had ground coffee and no instant. So i
thought “What the hell, give it a whirl just this once and i’ll go and buy
some freeze dried crap tomorrow.
Now after using it I’ve gotta admit i’m totally converted. This thing makes
fucking LEGENDARY coffee and it’s a piece of piss to use too, and even
cleans itself out too!
Top choice for all you lazy bastards like myself who enjoy a decent coffee
but without waiting around too long!!!
Meh
Just use a French press. If you too impatient for 4 minutes brewing time,
just grind a bit finer and steep less.
OMG … that was ….. (insert Gasp)
I just tried this method. Not bad, but so far I’m definitely liking the
inverted method better. Tonx.org’s method is my favorite so far.
The tube doesn’t seem to hold much water. I can’t see how it makes more
than about half a decent cup of coffee. Don’t see it as much different from
a French press or cafetiere type of manual coffee maker. Which you can buy
for about half what this gizmo costs.
hel ya palace m8
What kind of AeroPress stand is that and where can you get one?
Making Coffee like this is like the internet: For poor losers with too much
time!
Ive watched a couple of vids on aeropress and here are my top tips!
Why Aeropress?
Add more pressure – squeeze more flavor from your coffee
Aeropress creates a vacuum – stops everything dripping into cup too early
Takes 30 seconds to press (1 minute to brew)
Tips for brewing perfect Aeropress – according to David Coleman & Gwilym
Davies
1. Wash Aeropress before with warm water – heats Aeropress
2. do not add boiling water – burns it instantly (under 95 degrees is
better)
3. grind size – somewhere in-between plunger and filter grind
4. dose 1 or 2 (if you want a strong blend)
5. how long to brew (known as “steeping”)
6. wet your paper filters first (ideally with hot water). Avoid papery
filter taste!
7. Pour down the side of the Aeropress flask (ensure penetration with the
bottom)
8. Preinfuse with small amount of water – for 30 seconds
9. Then add the rest of the water – wait another 30 seconds
10. Do not fill the Aeropress container for 2 reasons –
-blooming – chemical reaction occurs as coffee particles bumping into
other partciles, hot water it bumps a lot faster. If there is a bigger
section to brew in – this wont happen (bloom in)
-do much water – it will overflow when you brew it!
11. Top it up after
12. Give it a little swirl then pressure plunge
13. Do not press/plunge full distance – as it can extract too much
bitterness!
+Larry Bundy Jr Pretty sure those interested in coffee enough to be
competitive know about barista championships. I have a passing interest in
coffee and have known about them for years.
Preparing my first AeroPress coffee.
@sinbindinchin – totally agree. He’s left tonnes of stuff out. Not the best
teacher. This is obviously just advertising, shame. It’s just another
gimmick anyhow, that much is obvious.
@sinbindinchin it’s funny. i didn’t know coffee was not suppose to be
bitter my whole life. i don’t drink coffee often so didn’t do research. i
accidentally landed on the aeropress and realized that high temperature
extracted too much bitterness.
@novamotel23 I’ve never been a coffee anorak but I can confirm that for
people who want a great tasting coffee with less hassle it’s really good!
It’s never gonna stand up to a £1000 coffee machine, but it’s as good as my
stove top espresso maker. I really like it. Ps. You do need good coffee
though, but I guess everyone knows hat! 🙂
That’s an Aeropress Brewstation offered by the same company
(creamsupplies.co.uk).
lol, I’m not pressing down on hot liquid cyllinders at 5AM- you must be on
crack.
The advice about not plunging completely has convinced me to give my
aeropress another chance, I’ve found it impossible to produce a non bitter
brew with this thing perhaps this is why. The Barista Championship thing is
a load of shite though, if only people put as much effort into either
trying to be crowned the best or hosting these events into actually
educating the world about coffee, the world would be a slightly better
place.
irish coffee is best
hell yes, a simple ceramic coffee cone will do just fine.
No ghost machines were used in this video.
Get a real machine.
I’m curious as to what coarseness the coffee was ground to? It can make a
huge difference for people trying to reproduce this technic.
It is actually finer than that of a french press, that’s what i like about
it you get the full flavor.
It’s quite concentrated so a lot of people water it down.
What a load of faff
how much water and what temp?
I’m very happy with my aeropress, awesome taste of coffee, just be careful
when you put the filter, make sure that is correctly put it, here is the
link to it in case anyone is interested: amzn.to1bmO8uU
and all else aside the aeropress is much much cheaper
@HappySpaceInvdr I could live with bad milk if the coffee tasted good. The
biggest problem is people do not realise that coffee is not meant to taste
bitter, people cant complain and ask for better since they do not know what
better is. Even the online roasters are mostly shit. I ordered some coffee
from james gourmet a while ago, disgusting it was, undrinkable. Cant go
wrong with square mile, but bloody hell do you pay for it.
Able disc filter
I doubt it. Maybe quantitywise you could, but I doubt the quality will be
as good as this.
LOVE my aeropress
Is he wearing a Palace shirt? awesome
That’s an Aeropress Brewstation. They run around $110. Really difficult to
find in the states.
meanwhile I could have just simply made 10 coffees on my nespresso with
undisputably more quality..
There is something admirable about a person loving something so much they
become a world champion in their field. I find such dedication, no matter
how esoteric the subject, beautiful.
Thank you. The extra time makes a nice difference.
I’m so glad to be living in a time where we have World Barista Champions.
I use the “finest” grind on my Koreg Burr Grinder and it works just fine
for my taste.
Or for a ‘person’ who doesn’t want to make coffee for “people”.
Any roast can be used in an aeropress, likewise in a french press. From my
experience a fine grind is best. not as fine as espresso but not as coarse
as a cone filter.
🙂 it might be also “drip coffee stand”. yw!
Ya’ll need to use the “inverted” method.
hes overextracting the coffee way too much
That thing looks awesome! Which model do you use, and how would you
describe the shot from your nespresso vs. a shot from an aeropress?
Guy below… You sir are a tool!
Nice video, I am going to give the aeropress a try. What is the name of
this metal structure you are using in this video? I’d like to get one as
well.
It would have been good to see the coffee actually flowing into the cup, so
next time wear lighter-colored clothing behind the coffee maker. Cheers!
