@@laurb6837I love oat milk. I found that the extra creamy oat milk by Planet Oat is the closest to real milk you can get. I like Califa Farms Almond Milk. They have a pumpkin spice latte that is exceptional. I get it from Aldi but it's only seasonal. Only out around...now, Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays. Maybe as far out as Christmas. It's sad that you can only get it during one time a season.
@@mimi28397 sustainability is something I never considered; the moka pot would be very sustainable as it's just cast aluminum. Really most espresso machines are sustainable once they're built bc the only consumable is the water, but there's that higher initial cost and toolset required.
It can make good coffee. It doesn’t make anything close to espresso. It’s like saying I can get really close to making brisket by making meatloaf. Meatloaf can be tasty but it’s not brisket.
That’s the point. You need less filtration to get more texture through (particularly if you want to add milk to it). Paper filter much cleaner but further away from espresso.
The Aero Press is actually a quite good mixture between a french press and an espresso style extraction at least to my taste. Hence why i wouldn't use extremely strong espresso beans or if you do not Grind them so extremely fine unless you like it really strong.
@@travisdip the key is the mixture in function between a french press and an espresso machine. The first phase you steep the grounds directly in the water. I found it works best to grind a little less fine than you do for the espresso machine cause otherwise you will easily extract more of the unwanted flavours as well if your timing is off. So a little coarser grind makes the process more controllable
The only way to make aeropress coffee taste fine is by treating it like an hario switch with a relatively coarse pourover grind and a 4 minutes infusion phase at least. This isn't expresso nor does it taste good. Good quality paper filters help quite a bit, forget the 20$ metal filter bullshit.
I do 10g coffee to 60g water, it's 85C after pouring. Very light agitation and at least 4 minute steep. after that invert, swirl and let it settle for one more minute before pressing in the most gentle way possible. I've done up to 10 minutes steep and it only gets better with time.
@gro967 why not? The loose definition is 'forcing hot water through finely ground coffee' no specification on pressure or grind size. If you add a lever to an aeropress it would be similar to a flair, you'd even get the characteristic crema.
@gro967 I say loose as it was provided by Google, please tell me, what are the parameters? Is it strictly 9bar? Do I have to change the way i describe the coffee i serve as I set my machine to 8bar? What about a lever profile?
To the untrained, this video is completely useless as you don’t talk about the bean or grind settings going in. And even when optimal, no chance this tastes close to an espresso out of a proper machine - not in this lifetime.
It's pretty damn close. Little to no crema, but the taste for most people, even people who are coffee enthusiasts; it will be close to indistinguishable. I always know when someone is lying when they make comments like this. I don't know if it's for clout, or what, but it's just really annoying. The amount of coffee enthusiasts who can taste very minor flaw and difference are very, very rare; fam. And, a lot of them talk out of their ass.
@@AhPookwhile this may not be espresso. It has a higher tds and say it is closer to espresso than pod coffee. The crema is missing but can easily argue it’s the worst bit of espresso. It’s a cool coffee drink, but sometimes it’s hard that everything has to be labeled in a box
Lol, I've been doing this for years; my recipe is 50g coffee & 100g water, then steam milk with the Belman stove top. Using fresh bean roasted between 7 to 21 days ago it makes a coffee better than 99.9% of coffee shops.
For this recipe the inverted allows you to create the small chamber space. Also helps control pressing through. With filter strength brews, def prefer upright over inverted
That's essentially a French press only with a finer screen. I've always wanted a finer screen for my French press. This is awesome though Can't use it for my cafecito though.
The coffee from an aeropress does not pull the same as a french press. The entire use of a paper filter is vastly superior to anything a french press could hope to achieve This is vastly the superior method and with an prismo, leaves a french press in the dust. With that said, I use my french press as a milk frothier, works great.
I do this everyday but I use 30g of coffee to 75g of water. That ratio is perfect once I add 160ml of almond or oat milk
can't get non milks to taste good for myself but nice ratio on the coffee
Try Oatly Barista or Milk Lab Almond Milk... @@Emppu_T.
@@Emppu_T.Oat milk is the best replacement for coffee, for me. The taste is almost the same.
pretty expensive though to use 30g every time

Moka pot works as well! Has more texture and body than Aero but that's just my preference
I consider moka pot the best alternative for all these fancy coffee machine, easy to use, handy, sustainable and what not..
I just shove coffee beans and grounds down my peehole

@@mimi28397i hate how restriced you are though, cant really vary amount of coffee/brew method whereas with an Aeropress you are much more flexible
Moka >>> Aero
so why or how does a metalstrainer give me more texture in a cup?
Paper filters are very fine filters. It wil filter out all the solids. The metal filter doesn't filter out all the tiny solids so you get more texture
It can make good coffee. It doesn’t make anything close to espresso. It’s like saying I can get really close to making brisket by making meatloaf. Meatloaf can be tasty but it’s not brisket.
It makes espresso just as well as any other machine. Stfu snob
If you go a finer grind it gets pretty close
A metal filter absolutely does not filter better than a paper one
That’s the point. You need less filtration to get more texture through (particularly if you want to add milk to it). Paper filter much cleaner but further away from espresso.
Correct. The metal filter allows more particulates and oils to pass through. That adds body and mouthfeel if you like that
@@chazzman8206I guess I need to get a metal filter then because I feel like I'm losing some of the flavour I miss from my french press
Oh I love this!!!!❤😮
There’s a cap adapter for the aeropress that gets you the creama desired.
It’s called the Prismo Attachment😊. Works a treat!
To get that crema and to make it appear more like espresso the prismo is great. But without it, the drink can be tastier
The Aero Press is actually a quite good mixture between a french press and an espresso style extraction at least to my taste. Hence why i wouldn't use extremely strong espresso beans or if you do not Grind them so extremely fine unless you like it really strong.
With a bunch of micro plastics too 🤢
Why would you grind extremely fine if you dont like it strong? The finer you grind, the more coffee you will extract...

I got this as a test product when it first came out. Still use it almost daily.

Agree. It can make good immersion filter brew.

Yield being the same is not the same as it being an espresso ffs. All the gear no idea
Looks good. Always amazing stuff from you.
You’re to good to me
Should you use a flow control valve if you have one as well
It can’t be espresso. The Aeropress can produce around 0,5 bar of pressure. Espresso would at least need 6-7…
It's a good start tho, I reckon you could fashion a lever & stand to ramp the pressure up
@@kitjoslin it's an interesting coffee recipe, yes, but it can't become an espresso ;)
@gro967 why not? The loose definition is 'forcing hot water through finely ground coffee' no specification on pressure or grind size. If you add a lever to an aeropress it would be similar to a flair, you'd even get the characteristic crema.
@@kitjoslin no that is not the definition. Espresso has a very clear definition including pressure, ratio and bean weight...

Not event close to espresso…that’s just really strong coffee

@@AhPookit’s not even remotely close. I used an aero press for almost a decade before buying an espresso machine. Night and day difference
@@jamiethomson8456some argue that scraping crema is better after a proper pull, not that not producing it at all is better
Thafvis an espresso machine tho. Uou making coffee under pressur
Better buying wacaco nanopresso it produces better coffee
Pressing full Nelson on the thin Glas gives me anxiety watching only
Crema?

You lost me at "the recipe is..."
“Pretty damn close”. No crema
That ain’t espresso. That’s coffee
A percolator?
Nope. Not even close to espresso.

a strange thing for a dubious espresso
Why inverted? What benefit does that provide?
For this recipe the inverted allows you to create the small chamber space. Also helps control pressing through. With filter strength brews, def prefer upright over inverted

Thanks I needed that
A basic Nespresso machine & pod does the trick too!
🤮
Using the fellow prismo cap gets you closer to espresso like coffee
From an appearance yes. But this way has great flavor.
Grind size?
wow you discovered an aeropress
Yummy plastic in my coffee
How do you not break the glass under while pushing the plunge
Is this thing just made of plastic? I love plastic chemicals leeched into my coffee
That's essentially a French press only with a finer screen. I've always wanted a finer screen for my French press. This is awesome though Can't use it for my cafecito though.
Nah. Aeropress coffee tastes very different from French Press coffee.
That's a french press and they make garbage coffee. Don't sell yourself short these are pathetic

This is vastly the superior method and with an prismo, leaves a french press in the dust.
With that said, I use my french press as a milk frothier, works great.
I don't drink coffee
