      Have you tried filters with different size mesh? For example the filter used in bubble bags comes in different sizes and they're made of plastic. What affect would different mesh sizes have on the taste of the coffee? Finer mesh for finer coffee. Also finer mesh increases pressure and brew time since it's harder for the water to flow through smaller holes. I think that would be good content. I don't think anyone has done a test for mesh size and taste. Another question I have is what affect screening the ground coffee so that it's all within a certain size particle. You know like between 100 mesh and 250 mesh. More consistent particles makes for a more consistent brew.

  • @mexter2011
    @mexter2011 Před 2 měsíci +4

    I've been using the JoePresso for a couple of years now as my daily driver. One thing I've found is that if you press it too hard at the start, it will make it MUCH more difficult to press the water through. It's much more effective if you first press gently until you hear the water start to pass through the hole, and THEN press harder. My guess is that, by pressing hard right from the start, you are compacting the coffee grounds into the hole thereby reducing the amount of water that can pass through in any given moment. These days I use a much finer grind than I did at the start, and get a much better extraction.
    They've also replaced the screen since you made this video with one that is built into the gasket.
    Edit: Temperature also makes some difference. The hotter the water, the harder it is to press. I typically brew around 87-88 C.

      I like darker coffee too and I like the metal coffee filters though only if finer as course stuff/mesh I need to use more course stuff then what is from most standard tubs, some dark course stuff from the baggies. To me metal type need to be worked in and they have a true metallic taste the first time and not fully 100% clean ever more like 90--95% cleaned unless they are clogging up. I also let the coffee in bigger machine 12 cup with the 6 oz cups filled only to 8 oz sit for 1/2 hour sometimes if I want the more caramel taste and do not want to have it straight. With paper I get the paper taste sometimes though at work I use paper as it is a time thing working for a middle school Lunch program that we also make for one of the Elementary Schools and will live with the micro paper taste.

    Thanks for making not just one but FOUR Aeropress videos! Interesting results with the different filters, I'd not come across cloth ones. For the last week, I've been experimenting with reusing the standard Aeropress filters and generally making about 10-15 brews before binning them. I've also nicked a great tip from one of your commenters who suggested placing the rinsed wet filter against the still warm metal kettle which dries them in seconds - neat! Maybe I'm going mad, but beyond ten or so brews, they started to taste a bit thin and I'm also sure there was a little more resistance each time to the press. Either way, I've been pretty happy with sub-10 re-uses so for anyone who wants to minimise their waste, it's worth investigating. I then tried to find my old metal filter for comparison but it's disappeared, so that kinda eliminates any environmental benefit to re-use - you gotta make sure you don't lose or break the thing! Hopefully it'll turn up. So that's a long comment basically coming round to asking how you feel about reusing the paper filters, and if you notice a deterioration in quality over repeated use. Could be a fun FIFTH video where you basically keep reusing the same filter again and again and tell us what you think of each cup. I reckon 20 brews would be sufficiently hardcore, plus the kettle-drying tip has them ready very quickly!

      @S3lvah Před 3 lety +7

      How about trying nylon sieves? I bought two of them last Christmas for filtering particles that were too small for a fine metal sieve but suspended in milk which was too thick to filter through paper in any reasonable amount of time. Apparently paper has pores of about 10 µm, and the nylon sieves I bought have about 74 µm and 37 µm ("200 + 400 Mesh"). Metal mesh strainers' then are much larger than that, probably 250 µm or so.
      The nylon strainers have been easy to keep clean, too. No need to fully dry or keep soaked like with cloth. I've used the 74 µm one since that too is somewhat slow for milk. But it seems that it would work for making coffee with body, since the finely dispersed (emulsified?) fat in my milk drink has been able to pass through it.

    I was an "early adopter" of the Prismo, and I have to confess that my first brews were terrible. But, I kept trying, and yes, it got better. For milk based drinks and speedy morning cups, it works nice, once you dial a good recipe for your favourite coffee. I'm actually using the metal filter combined with the standard filter, and long brews (19 g coffee, 200 g water) with a couple of minutes wait before plunging. With this device, small changes produce significant differences in taste, so it takes time to dial your daily cup to your liking.

    I use a metal filter. Spot on about the thicker, siltier brew, but I'm used to it by now and I like it. Only other real downside is you have to remember to remove the filter from the top of the puck before you punch it out, if it happens to stick to the puck instead of the screw-on plastic bit.

    I've been using the Prismo for the past couple of months, and I really like it. Since the aeropress is fundamentally an immersion brewer, I like the using the Prismo to brew without any of the usual drips. But, despite their marketing, I don't have any expectation that it is an espresso brewer. I just think it's great to use purely for the immersion brew experience. I also don't really have a problem with the mouthfeel of the metal filter. The only drawback is that it's a little bit harder to clean, but it's not too bad, and I feel it's worth it.
    I could use the inverted method, but that just makes me nervous with tipping the hot liquid over and I can't help wonder if I'm ruining the plunger's rubber plug and the seal when it is in contact with the hot water for so long in every brew.

    A big thank you for getting me back into Coffee as a Hobby. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed trying and challenging myself to get more and better taste out of my coffee.
    Have had getting an Aeropress on my To-Do list for a while, and just hit upon your channel a few weeks ago, just along the Aeropress #2 video... and got myself an aeropress the day after the #3 episode. Been super great actually getting a nice single cup brew available without putting on half a pot in the moccamaster. It also forced me to rethink my way of doing both drip, as well as espresso, so got a scale as well as a pouring kettle and likely getting a V60 or similar as well soon.
    I've been on an espresso period due to a friend importing a bunch of coffee from italy, so refurbished my gaggia that has been standing still a few years after almost almost having drip brewed at home for a long while. Realised I really miss the ability to have both espresso and drop/immersion whenever I feel like it. So also looking for a second grinder for drip/aero/pour-over now.
    Again, thank you for all the knowledge you are sharing with us.

    James, I've been using the metal filter as a daily driver for around 6 months now due travel. I found it easier to store the metal filter directly in the aeropress itself during transport, found this much easier than having to "lug" a small sandwich bag of paper filters which would often get creased and damaged. Just my two pence on the video. Love the aeropress series, it's been a long time coming and I've been waiting a while for it! Thanks again, brew on!

    I've been using the Aeropress with an Able Brewing metal filter as my daily driver for the better part of 5 years, it makes excellent coffee.
    I'd also recommend, for when your rubber plunger inevitably wears down and fails, to replace it with an aftermarket silicone one. Mine's been going strong for maybe 3 years with no signs of wear.

      @d0nj03 Před 4 měsíci

      Hearing him talk about how easy it is to maintain and what a frenchpressy taste it produces, I have to assume he used the regular (larger holes) model and not the "fine". I don't like the French press taste so I went for the "fine" model, which produced a coffee just the way I like it... for about 2-3 times, after which most of the little holes in it got plugged with coffee grinds, with no hope of ever opening them up again using only regular cleaning utensils you'd find in a kitchen. Literally the only thing that worked for me was putting the tip of a sewing needle through the holes one at a time. Epic fail. I need a better metal filter, I can't accept the "dead" taste of paper filtered coffee but also want to stay away from the opposite extreme.

    I’ve been using the Prismo with the ultimate technique from the previous AeroPress video for about a week. I’m pretty happy with the results. I’m not a fan of the chalky texture of the metal filter, so I usually throw in a paper filter as well. It’s been a nice change of pace to get a fairly substantial change in flavor profile from the same blend I’ve been using for about 6 months. I’m not sure if being able to leave the brew chamber open rather than doing the vacuum method has any real effect, but my kitchen smells of coffee more, so that’s always a plus!

    Watching this again. Long time Aeropress owner and more recently V60 user after years of using Melitta dripper. I'm learning that over extraction is the enemy when using an Aeropress. After watching James' video again I was inspired to use two filters and considerably less water in the brewer. A time to bloom, add rest of water, stir, and press immediately. I like to add hot water to the cup to get a mug full. What I got was a smooth, somewhat light cup of good coffee. James hooked me with the thought of two filters getting a pour over like experience with the Aeropress. I think he is right.

    On the Hexnub thing, I was partly sold on the Aeropress because of its compactness when not in use! you put the thing together, sit it upside-down with the funnel on "top," and stick the scoop and stirrer in the end of the funnel! Donezo. This unneeded complication of a storage solution is pure extravagance and, for that reason, I like it.

    I've been using the Fellow Prismo for a few months now, mainly as a filter brew not an 'espresso style' brew. It works really well and I get a good cup out of it with minimal silt/coffee passing through the metal filter. I'll try the paper/metal combo and see if I can get something as clean as I used to get from double paper on its own, but geniunely its an excellent quality of life upgrade as it still allows low pressure to open the valve but keeps the whole process relatively mess free.
