      @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.

    • @Zacharyr222
      @Zacharyr222 2 роки тому +5

      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

  • @askmiller
    @askmiller 2 роки тому +8

    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.

  • @manuelpenaruiz3694
    @manuelpenaruiz3694 2 роки тому +27

    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!

    I would like to add one thing left out that I do with the coffee residu puck (it doesn’t go into the trash 🗑 right away) some habit I learned using a French press earlier is to put the used coffee grind on a small plate and put it directly into the fridge after the coffee’s been made. It’s a great little hack to make your fridge keep smelling fresh by taking in food odors. I also do this after making green tea, they both work great. Of course the coffee gives the fridge a little coffee smell for a while but I don’t mind that.

    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!!

Like they might think its a bit better, but not worth the extra money (in the case of coffee not worth the extra time and bother) but to experienced drinkers the 2 bottles of whatever are vastly different and they would easily pay twice the amount for the expensive one if not more. It should also be said that most people also use pre ground coffee, which you wont have that much of a difference from proper brewing technique as with freshly ground beans

    Hello Alan, the reason i have 1 cup of coffee after my mini breakfast is for ENERGY, my reason for purchasing your Aeropress is to reduce my price for a single cup of coffee by eliminating the high cost for filters. I buy coffee beans and grind in an electric coffee grinder to get a fine grind. I have to admit to you that i do NOT like coffee, the only reason I drink coffee is to give myself some energy in the morning. Sitting here looking @ my 2 cups of coffee, 1 brewed by my little Salton 1 cup electric coffee maker is darkest brown and then my 1st ever Aeropress coffee maker looks like my cup of orange pekoe tea ! I will use my Aeropress again tomorrow morning, exactly as you've shown in this video and try to have a "formed coffee ground puck" to extract like yours was THANK YOU FOR INVENTING AEROPRESS so I can have a cup of coffee that I don't have to add salt to and that I save $ not having to buy the expensive filters YES AN AEROPRESS CUP OF COFFEE IS SMOOTH RICH + DELICIOUS 🙂 BRAVO !

    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.

    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.

    I've had my aero press coffee maker for a few weeks now and if you follow these directions to a t, it's important that you use close to espresso ground coffee. When I first opened and used the aero press I had only medium ground coffee, and the cup wasn't nearly strong enough.
    After experimenting a bit, I've found that to get an equally good cup with medium to course ground coffee, about double everything: I like to use 2 rounded scoops and fill to the number 4; everything else I keep the same, I still fill my mug the rest of the way with water.
    However using espresso grind and following the directions printed perfectly makes a delicious cup; it's what I make every morning.

    • @doc8125

    I've been down the road of French press, where I first realized just how damn good immersion coffee is. Tried pour-over with a Hario kit, and wasn't as happy as I was with my press. Requires a scale (which I had), a timer (used my phone), careful measurement of the coffee and water, blooming the bed, timing and measuring your pour(s)...I love that his method is "one heaping scoop and water to the 1-1/2 mark." So much simpler and easy to adjust without tools. Just ordered the AP Go so I can give this a try. Post-dinner coffee has become a habit and keeps me from snacking on sweets!
