      Same here, and I've been using one for years. Shockingly, I've figured out how to make a surprisingly good cup using a Keurig machine I was recently gifted. It's not as good as the best cup out of an AeroPress, but definitely better than the worst, and very consistent. I use 10.5g of medium roast ground slightly coarser than espresso, lightly tamped, 6oz., strong setting (which is a must b/c it pumps the water through much slower, a little at a time). It took a little experimentation, and a few dumped cups, but I found it to be worth it.

    I think by the second or third cup of coffee from the Aeropress you will have figured out how much coffee to water you like to use. To me the coffee tastes as good as coffee from a French Press or a Mocka Pot. However there is one important difference it is way easier to clean and to keep clean. After using mine for a month or so I realised that the coffee that I made at home was better than most cafes served

    Hi James - I've had an aeropress for many years. I remember about 8 or 9 years ago shortly after I started a period of work as a barista with Starbucks, we had a breakdown or a flood or something and we had to close the store while we waited on an engineer. I was speaking to the manager about my aeropress, and she said I should bring it in - I happened to have it in my bag so I made her a coffee using one scoop of coffee from the filter grind we had done earlier, half fill with hot water from the bowser, and the inversion method, sitting for about 2min - she loved it and couldn't believe how good a job, such a simple device did. I love mine (though I don't use it as much as I should) -they are definitely worth every penny, and I love that you're donating them to folks that don't have one :)

  • @RodCornholio
    @RodCornholio Před 3 lety +74

    I'm very sensitive to caffeine, so having the ability to make one cup was a definite requirement. I liked the fact that if life got really rough, you could still make a cup of the greatest drink on earth - if you could figure out how to heat water and smash beans. So, it's a piece of survival gear. Appealed to two more criteria I admire: 1.) robust, elegant engineering 2.) bang-for-buck; you can make a good cup without spending a fortune. I was compelled to buy it. Endlessly fun to experiment with.

    Thank you for your comments on the AeroPress brewing method. I've been making my own coffee from freshly ground beans since the early 1970's. I know what I like and tend to be skeptical of anything new that is aggressively touted as better. After watching your video, I decided to blow $30 and get an AeroPress. It's taken about 4 or 5 cups to hone my brewing technique with the AeroPress to arrive at what I think is a cup of coffee that's better than what I've been drinking for the last few decades.The coffee this method produces is just, plain and simply, marvelous. It will now be my go-to method for producing a single cup of coffee.

    The Aeropress was absolutely my first entry into making better coffee at home and the gateway into specialty coffee ... I had been on tour in 2018 and spent a month drinking truly terrible coffee, and when I got home I decided I needed to start improving my home setup. A friend had an Aeropress and made me a cup, and it was really delicious and sold me. That led me to slowly but surely buying better beans ... trying different hand grinders ... and eventually buying a V60 and a Baratza Virtuoso and starting to watch coffee brewing videos which led me to you! A couple years later and I am very far down the rabbit hole but also making nearly-cafe quality pour overs at home.

    I have brewed hundreds of cups of coffee with my aeropress. My favorite thing about the brewer (when I worked at the office) is how capable it is in producing a good cup of coffee pretty much anywhere you can find hot water. With a hand grinder I could make the coffee I wanted fresh in the office without being too much of a bother to other people, and not having to suffice with a Keurig. All the required equipment could sit on my desk or in a drawer.
    I've tried a number of methods, but mostly settle for putting in ~16 grams, water off the boil, stir, fill to the 3-4 mark, wait a bit, press, and dilute. I'm not too particular when I make coffee with the aeropress. The biggest factors influencing flavors to me, on a daily basis, are the freshness of the coffee, and the amount of grounds used. After about 5 years I needed to get a new one as the rubber stopper wore down and could no longer hold a seal when pressed. I suppose one improvement that could be made is finding a way for this system to be a "buy it for life" sort of solution, like a Moka pot or La Pavoni.
    That all being said, I do get tired of the flavor every so often. I typically brew an espresso drink in the morning, and a more Americano style in the afternoon. I have to switch it up or else my mind seems too get used to a particular flavor profile. After drinking a type of brew for 2+ months, changing the brew type feels like drinking an entirely different drink. Right now, my preferred afternoon brew is from a Moka pot. I find that if I heat the water to the boil, then put it in the pot, it makes some excellent coffee.

    My best man introduced me to good coffee, and he gave me an Aeropress on my wedding day.

We got back and brewed up, and later managed to use it at the post-reception on the beach.
    It is the brewing method I use the most, offering simplicity or complexity when I want them, and is so easy to clean. There are few things more viscerally satisfying than popping a used puck out, and even just eyeballing I can make consistently good coffee.
