I want to see a coffee nerds brain melt as they watch the intended use, by the creator, with almost zero measurements. This is awesome. I love the aeropress
It's really refreshing to see the inventor take us through making a cup and explaining his design choices and usage, rather than another slick commercial from a marketing team.
dude, exact same reaction. Give us those gold nuggets of info we otherwise wouldnt get from the dumb marketing team.
Refreshing. Yes. The exact same feeling. Short and to the point. Simple. Refreshing.
...annd...gave me understanding I didn't have before.
Mr Adler won me by doing it by his kitchen sink. (Reminds me alot of my Navy dad. No fuss, no drama)
I agree too. I so appreciate the straight-talking-no-script conversation at the kitchen island. Guys like this don't care about slick production, just efficient communication. Reminds me of several WW II vets and farmers I have met in my lifetime. Love me some straight shoot'n!
Just needs to edit out "microwave" and insert "dishwasher" (via overdub)... after rinsing you don't need to put it into the _______.
ikr, it's even actually strange and he's not like pushing the product or overreacting like "yeah, the best cup of coffee you'll ever taste" it was smooth.
This is what Walter White would look life if he goes down the coffee path instead of meth.
I thought Gale was what Walter White would look like if he went down the coffee path.
Dear Mr. Adler,
Your invention changed my life, no exaggeration.
I use it every day, take it with me when i travel (along with a thermos of hot water) and have made great coffee on the Amtrak, out of the trunk of my car and I take it with me when I backpack. I sing its praises to anyone who will listen and have given five of them as gifts. And you look just like my grandfather from when I was young.
Can I ask you your recipe that you use with hot thermos water?
@@hoosierpatriot1946 same recipe. i have a regular Stanley thermos that is heat from the inside with a hot water fill while the kettle boils. i dump the preheat water and fill it with the boiling water and it keeps it nice and hot.
Mm _
I think it's absolutely amazing how the specialty coffee sector has really grabbed hold of the Aeropress, taken Alan's brilliantly simple design, and now it has a cult following, and even global competition built around it. All because one guy just wanted a single cup of coffee :)
Necessity is the mother of invention
at first i didn't like it, because plastic...but after tasting it, it's amazing how convenient it is and the results are comparable with other extraction methods
@@__OS__ people need to learn that "plastic" isn't just a single thing, it refers to hundreds of different materials, only a small portion is actually bad
this is the best recipe imo, ignore all the other "artisan" recipes out there
He's talking an' he's plunging at the same time. This is some elite level stuff.
He looks hella cool while he’s doing it, too.
He is quite old, must have spent a life time practising. Don't you try it, you'll hurt yourself, it's for well trained pros only.
it takes unimaginable skills to do such a feat
🤣
I'm an engineering student and am inspired by your incredible, cost-effective invention. Thanks for liberating me from my Keurig!
😁
Not to mention saving you from the mould spores that grow in the bowels of your machine, because the water isn't hot enough to kill them.
Sometimes you don’t need to over think stuff.
@@angelus_solus Alan's brewing at the lower end of Keurig temperature though...
@@grabble7605 Doesn't matter, the Aeropress is cleaned after every use.
I’m really new to this party and only been using the AeroPress for a few months. I have watched so many videos about it and was so overwhelmed by all the unnecessary over the top pompousness of precise and meticulous measurements of water and temperature and even how many times to stir! Then along came Alan the guy who created this awesome device and he couldn’t have made it simpler. Awesome man, awesome device, awesome coffee every morning ❤
while i think i am particularly fussy with measuring everything, i agree that it feels nice to have a brewer that encourages you to take it easy
my moka pot is nice but it is also a bit fussy, not to mention it's a chore to clean, my french press is forgiving but only really practical for bigger amounts of coffee,
whereas the aeropress does not ask me to worry, it's just put a scoop, add water, press it like the magical coffee button and it's filtered flowery 1 cup easy to clean goodness
Thank you, my brother. Cool to see somebody who's made such a contribution to the coffee community, and you don't (apparently) have a full row of $ 8,000.00 grinders. And no gooseneck? I salute you my friend.
I love how precise you are in your word choice. As a fellow engineer, the accuracy of your narration, and reasoning behind each and every step is much appreciated. Keep up the great work.
It's so refreshing to hear someone speaking concisely, at a normal pace, without drama, and not say like, like, like, like...throughout his instruction.
Yes but he said "microwave" when he meant "dishwasher" :-) He's so relaxed about the Aerorpress. Love mine.
he seems like such a dad lol maybe because my dad is an engineer too and a coffee drinker. and a boomer. loved this.
The lack of bitterness using less water is quite an eye opener. Great video.
This man saved me so much time in life and money, no more early morning runs to Starbucks
One thing that really stands out to me about this product is that the inventor came up with how he intended people to use it, but made intentional design decisions such as adding the numbers all the way up to 4 even though he only uses it up to 1-2 so that you can come up with thousands of unique ways to make coffee with it. Usually when you buy kitchen gadgets, they're crap, but this device is clearly manufactured to last. The way the grinds pop out as a single disposable puck is probably my favorite part. Cleanup is like all of 15 seconds.
Thank You Mr. Adler, It only took me 72 years but for the past three days I've been making GREAT coffee using your AeroPress.
man, 72 years and still finding new stuff. hope it is the same for me in many many years.
@@artavenuebln great comment.
Took me 68yrs.
@@artavenuebln As long as the golden goose of capitalism isn't killed, innovation will continue to prosper. I too look forward to discovering such things many years ahead.
finally, a video that's not overly complicated with a scale and thermometer
The scale and thermometer help with repeatability. You are never going to repeat a good result if you don't know what you did last time.
Using 1X or 1.5X depends on how much extraction you want to achieve and how fine your coffee grind is. It must be clear that more water equals more extraction (more thermal mass, more solvent available for coffee solids to dissolve)
With near espresso grind you get a fast extraction, so stirring for 10-15 seconds should be more than enough. Using more water you run the risk of over extraction.
Mr Alan suggest 80°C for medium and dark coffees and 85°C for light roasts but kindly note that Mr Alan is using a pretty dark coffee, so for medium or lighter coffees you should want to stirr a bit more and raise your water temperature till you get the desired sweetness. For the same grind size, temperature and water quantity impact your extraction. Espresso fine grounds may clog the filter and induce some channeling if you press hard enough. A bit coarser grind size should fix this in most cases as water tends to diffuse and flow much better thru the grounds.
Water temperature determines not how much is extracted from coffee but WHEN. Higher Temp = faster extraction
In the same way more water volume = faster and more complete extraction
I'm a huge fan of the AP and has become my go-to method. What I've done so far: I keep water volume and temperature the same and always adjust by grind size only. It works fantastic!
Thank You Mr. Alan Adler! What an invention!
With all the elaborate recipes for this device it’s so nice to see how simple it is to make a nice sweet cup of coffee. Thank you. 1 scoop. Not inverted. Cover with 1.5 x water. 10 sec stir. Slow depress. Dilute 3 or 4 to 1. Nice.
@patw421 same here! This is the tutorial I was seeking for! Could only come from the inventor himself 😀
I believe you fill the chamber with water up till the circle that corresponds to the number of scoops. He poured it up to 1.5 because his scoop had more at top. How does your coffee taste with 1.5?
@@daybreakgray3452 see that's why folk use scales. y'all discussing 1.5 for a non specific amount of coffee and that's hard to tinker with.
@Deep Cut Reactions it's actually not though. You can take multiple scoops of coffee with the same scoop and have significantly different masses of coffee in each, even if they're level scoops. If you're using rounded scoops, there's even more uncertainty. Those differences can radically change the cup of coffee you get out, so if you care about consistency, weighing is really the way to go.
Tried a mokapot, French press, generic coffee maker… best inexpensive option I’ve tried is the aero press and it tastes amazing. Far superior to other methods. First day I bought mine, I made a latte that was equivalent to the $5 latte I was buying every day before work. Don’t do any fancy recipe that anyone else uses either. Used Dunkin’ Donuts blend coffee grounds (all I had) and was very amazed by what it did with that.
Do it pretty close to how the inventor does it which is just by the instructions. No temp controlled kettle, no measuring out, just used the scoop, stir for 10 secs, and gently press. Outstanding product
This man has brought much happiness to the world.
I cannot believe how good this coffee maker is! I’m 75 and have had every type of coffee maker known to man. I have to say that my first experience of real coffee was from an aluminum stove top percolator (with a glass piece in the lid) when I was a small child. It was the type mentioned which brewed coffee for ages. I have to say that it was the start of my love affair with ‘the real thing’ and I’ve always loathed instant coffee. Thank you, Alan, for inventing what I now consider to be the ultimate in coffee makers.
the old timers still got it. when he mentioned putting the fresh brewed coffee in the microwave i felt the collective of coffee snobs shudder.
Why not heat milk first?
@@SpecialgiftsLA You could do that but he's an engineer. It's much more practical and energy efficient to let microwaves heat the milk (fat heats up quickly in the microwave) versus a few minutes of dumping energy into the pot on a range top.
He meant to say dishwasher for washing
I only recently came across the Aeropress (having vaguely heard about it over the last year or so). I finally got one two weeks ago, an I'm pretty much blown away by it. Its genius lies in the sweetness of the coffee and the ease of cleanup. All the best inventions lie in their simplicity.
I live in a country where there isn't a great coffee culture (we drink a lot of 'instant' coffee). I've had Nespresso machines and Moka pots but the former is expensive, takes time to heat up as well as taking up space, and the latter is tricky to master. I've never been a fan of french-presses or drip machines (which are truly awful). The Aeropress was a revelation, which means I can now have proper coffee in no time at all.
Congratulations. It IS a blessing to start me day with a good cup of coffee
This man has done something wonderful for the world . Not all hero’s wear chinos and a wine shirt
So many of these are ultra trendy and poorly explained. This one is clear, concise and gives me exact guidance. Much more reassuring to hear a seasoned man explain it over a hipster. Thank you.
Amen to that! 🙂
I could listen to him talk about this for a long time.
I've been using my Aeropress for a year now and I absolutely love it. I look forward every morning to making coffee. I believe it is the greatest coffee maker ever invented. I feel that I could sell these door-to-door out of the back of my car. Thank you Alan Adler
Ok here’s my story. I’m a clinical herbalist student. I bought the aero press to efficiently press medical tinctures which it does extremely well with easy cleanup. I am a coffee drinker as well and only today I actually made my first cup of aero press coffee after watching Alan’s video. OMG. This was the best coffee ever. Thank you so much Alan. Best thing is I’ve killed two birds with one stone. Great tincture press and great coffee to boot. My hat is off to you Sir.
The Aeropress Go has sustained me through several weeks of hotel quarantine in Hong Kong this past year. Thank you
I accidentially made this recipe months ago and found it was my favorite, even if it isnt as strong as i like. Thank you Mr. Alan, you have good taste and a brilliant mind.
Thanks, Alan! My wife gifted me Aeropress and now it is my beloved way to brew coffee. Men like gadgets and this one is perfect!
The man is a legend.
Thanks from Scotland 👍🏻
This is the simple tutorial I was seeking for! Could only come from the inventor himself 😀
@@djjorgeforklift6012 ....I came across a second hand Aeropress and have hesitated to try it out....until.now.
*brilliant succinct and perfect*
Aeropess is truly an engineering masterpiece
Thanks a lot mr -Heisenberg- Adler
The man who made one of the best toys of my youth now making one of the best tools of my adult life. Chapeau, sir🎩🎩🎩👏👏
This video should be nr. 1 in the search results for “aeropress”. When I first looked up Aeropress, I was turned off by the video I found of some guy taking forever to make one cup of coffee and thought it was a PITA process. But this one shows just how easy it is to use and clean. I’ll be buying one shortly!
You feel my pain. I bought an AP Go. Between timing, scales, grind blah blah blah ..I thought FML, I bought a hobby, after watching most of those vids. I do mostly french press, which is minimal hassle.
The way shown in this vid is giving my french press a run for it's money. Coffee was great.
Passing the link on to my friends, who bought an Aeropress, but believe its too much hassle after watching a batista fiddle with a scale, and brewing immersion style.
Sorry, but this guy doesn’t have a clue how to make coffee properly using an Aeropress - he’s using completely slapdash methodology and completely failing to accurately measure at every step 😡 I would bet his coffee is completely undrinkable 🤮 This might have been coffee I would have accepted before I started learning about true coffee from the experts in the field, but that was just because of my own ignorance! Making coffee using an Aeropress is an intricate process because coffee technologists and connoisseurs have devoted their lives to the process. If you can’t spend twenty or so minutes to prepare your coffee properly, frankly you shouldn’t be doing it all.
@@Zveebo The guy in the video is the INVENTOR of Aeropress. He's not some rando throwning up vids for sh*ts and giggles.
His invention is to make expresso like coffee with minimal bells and whistles. That's the type of coffee he likes, and that's why he does what he does.
Then people morphed his product to something else for there own liking. That's fine if you want to fart around with scales, temperature controled kettles and stop watches. No harm no foul Coffee enjoyment is a spectrum from the guy who throws instant into a cup with warm water to James Hoffman. Moralizing coffee making into some character assessment is weird.
I have made coffee EXACTLY as Adler did, and it was delicious. I've also made pour overs, drips, moka and french press. I don't bother with the inverted Aeropress method, because I have a french press for that.
The Aeropress is what I need in the morning when I can't do 20 minutes for a french press. 5 mins vs about 30 mins (start to clean up). Not every coffee experience has to rival an organic chemistry experiment.
I bought one about 3 weeks ago. Been using it every day, I love it. I don’t really measure things that much, just fiddle with a bit with the amount and grind of coffee, guesstimate the amount of water and that’s it. Coffee doesn’t have to be so serious :)
@@lilbatz I didn't notice that.
But it doesn't change my point - he should watch videos from some of the coffee experts here on CZcams, and he would very quickly realise that the coffee he claims to 'enjoy' is actually complete trash. And then find out how to develop a precise and carefully calibrated process which would allow him to make a drinkable cup.
People, even inventors, should always be willing to learn from their mistakes with the expertise from those who know better.
I love that Alan microwaves his coffee. This is a guy, like me, who just wants a nice hot cup of coffee in the morning.
I just finished my first cup from the AeroPress as I was writing this, following the method he outlined here, and it was excellent. What a high quality invention and product, I can't believe I slept on it for so long, I should have bought one years ago.
Heating the milk in the microwave alone will give it a better taste, as you wouldn't be reheating the coffee. Same time, just one more dirty cup.
@@gonzalozech how about heating milk and plunging aeropress done coffee into it?
@@Ukrulysses Coffee needs hot water to extract its soluble components, from 85°C to 100°C depending on how roasted the coffee is and how thin or coarse you are grinding your coffee beans. Milk starts to taste really bad when it goes hotter than 70°C so is never recommended to heat milk beyond 65°C, not enough to successfully extract your coffee.
@@gonzalozech I think you misunderstood Anton's comment, he said making the normal cup of coffee, but with the milk already in the cup-not making the coffee with milk :) It's quite a good idea, @Anton LOBODA!
@@kellerglee What you put first doesn't make any difference 🙃
I loved the Aerobie disc as a kid, and love the AeroPress as an adult..thank you!
Wow. I’m still on my first 10 tries with the Aeropress and just tried the 1 1/2 mark amount of water slowly plunged vs the full 4 slowly plunged (forearm method works best). Without a doubt, my best cuppa yet! Nice and silky, smooth and sweet... Many thanks for this, mate! 👌🏽
The WHOLE purpose of Aeropress is to experiment with various styles, amounts, time etc. until you find what works for YOU. Then just do it that way every time.
It is extremely consistent if you are accurate in your style and do it the same way every time. But the effort you put into that is up to YOU!
Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
A lot of respect for you Alan. I'm having the best homemade coffee in my life, thanks for your incredible invention.
It's pretty awesome to see the Aero Press inventor demo how to make a great cup of coffee without unnecessary hacks--the way it should be! Thank you, Mr Adler!
frothing milk is an unnecessary hack. A proper latte should be made in the microwave clearly.
Alan you are an absolute legend.
Thank you, sir, from the bottom of my caffeine-loving heart.
I admire the simplicity of this product in a world filled with "contraptions". The AeroPress truly is an amazing recognition of a need that was met and generously shared for others to enjoy in their busy day!
Just stopping in to say thanks for the invention. Love mine! Have a good one!
I'm so thankful for the Aeropress. I use it every day at work and it just makes the best coffee I've ever had so easily.
Thank you Alan for your great invention. Keep up the good work.
I like this trick. Thank you Alan.
Thank you for your super invention, the areo press.
This was a lot nicer and refreshing to watch than all the other videos by young guys that have tricks and gimmicks. Feels more manageable :) Thank you
Totally agree!
Youth sucks
@@RJ-pk7sn okay boomer
Thank you for the invention sir. You have made my mornings happily brighter!
Thank you! I love my Aeropress. I use it everyday!
Thank you Mr. Adler, the AeroPress has transformed my coffee experience for years now.
Thank you Mr. Adler! Keep success and keep healthy!
Thank you sir, this is beautiful, it’s so simple and functioning, I love things like this, you makes me life a little bit better.
Thank you Alan for your great invention. I asked one Aeropress for my birthday, and I know I will be perfectly satisfied of it. No more machine, breaking parts, descaling chemicals, or big paper filter.
Plus, tons of recipe to try out ;-)
Cheers (with a coffee ofc)
Edit : one year later now, and it is still my favorite way to make and enjoy coffee.
I have already used 400 papers, for me and guests. TY
Alan, you are a godsend. Thank you for this.
Aeropress has changed my life--seriously! I love the thing!
I’ve tried a lot of different recipes from CZcams but I always revert to this. So simple it’s genius
Thanks for making the aeropress, Alan. You're a legend. :)
The puck can be used in the garden as organic fertiliser, adding nitrogen to the soil as well as improving soil structure. Be careful not to add too much as it can raise soil acidity, which isn't a problem if you have high alkaline soil.
Best video how to on this device! Thanks!
Great video for a great invention. Thank you for both.
Mr Adler, I got my first Aero press yesterday it works great. Thank you
Thank you very much, I find that I have looked at so many alternative Aeropress brewing styles (all good, not criticizing them at all) that it's actually most helpful to see the original method's perfect simplicity... from the person who built the thing no less!
what I like the most about the aeropress is that it can make some SUPER fancy things with advanced techniqes, precise messuring and all that shit, but if you really dont want to, you can make a great cup with none of that that is super simple and requiers no thought
Thanks Alan for the presentation and the invention
Just got your product. Thank you sir! I love it.
I love my AeroPress coffee maker. Thank you for inventing it!
Thank you mr adler, my aeropress just arrived, great invention
One of my favourite things I own. It's been a real game changer.
Thank you, Alan, for your awesome invention! Doing AeroPress coffee every morning is the process I really enjoy: the "time spent : result" ratio is extremely efficient with this brewing method
This is wholesome youtube content. He seems pretty humble for making such a popular thing. What a cool guy.
I have to say thank you for creating my absolute favorite brewer. The concept of the shorter brew time definitely gave me a sweeter more flavorful cup and that had me intrigued as to HOW I got such a better cup. I have been on the journey now for years trying different coffees, different brewers, different brew methods and Ive always come back to the aero press, with better beans in hand each time! I thank you for your creation!!
I have had one of these for over 8 years! I love it! I have a stainless steel filter and this is a great conservation.
Oh wow I just got one and followed this simple instruction. Where have this been all my life!!! It blows away all my previous brewers and so simple!!!
American coffee aka Cafe Americano aka my favorite. Thank you so much!
I've been using my Aeropress wrong since I got it a few month ago! So grateful for this video and enjoying the best ever cup right now :)
I feel like I was just there in this mans home while he explained to me how to use his invention. Amazing!
Got it as a gift. Very happy with it.
You are my hero Alan!
This is definitely the drip coffee machine for me. I love the nice tidy puck and lack of fiddly stuff to clean. You're a good dude, and I really appreciate you making this awesome thingy, and sharing it with us. Awesome demonstration too, felt like I was making coffee with Bob Ross or something.
Literally the best coffee maker ever and the best coffee taste! I drink it every day since 2019. Thank you Alan!
Very interesting, I look forward to trying this. And it was great to see the actual inventor doing the presentation!!
Thank you for the invention and thank you for this video. I have one and absolutely love it. I make hot coffee and cold brew.
Love the way he explains it. So much more simple than some of these other complicated tutorials.
Thank you sir, for bringing some sunshine in the rain
Sweet man. Thank you for your useful insights! 🌺
Got mine last week and it's been making some delicious cups of coffee. Thanks much, Mr. Adler.
Cheers Alan, the aero press reignited my coffee journey!
Thankyou, you improved my life.
Just ordered this bad boy, should arrive tomorrow. Never been so pumped for some joe
This is the best recipe for the Aeropress and makes not only the sweetest and smoothest cup but more importantly the most stomach friendly coffee I've ever had. Just one minute. All it takes to greatest coffee. The rest is just fancy stuff. Thanks Mr Alan!
Thank you for your invention sir.
Awesome to see the demo from the inventor. But was I ever surprised when he said he nukes his coffee
I just ordered an AeroPress and can't wait to try it!
Literally got myself an Aeropress and used it for the first time for my 2 coffees this morning. Wonderfully simple and works great.
Thank you sir.
Excited about my press arriving tomorrow and now I know how to make the perfect cuppa. 👍👍
Thank you Alan
I was pleasantly surprised by the design of the paddle, it's subtly genius!
I'm not just happy but satisfied about Aeropress. Thanks you~
Thank you, good sir. I absolutely love my AeroPress!
