I'm surprised you don't use a stainless screen instead of paper. The paper traps many of the oils and aromatics. Using a screen adds another dimension to the taste.
Bought my 1st AEROPRESS in 2006 ,and I have since bought 3 more . The simplicity of brewing , and taste of the end product , immediately sold me on it . At 73 years of age , I have certainly drunk my share of coffee . While all the variations of use are interesting , I still prefer the original method of preparation . Thank you , Dr. Adler !
I've found another great, free, and easy method to achieve good cold drip coffee: - Put the desired amount of *fine* coffee into the Aeropress. - Fill the Aeopress with ice. Put the included funnel on and fill that with ice too if you want a larger cup. - Leave it out at room temperature and it will melt+drip in a few hours into your cup. You can also put it in the fridge for a slower, stronger drip over ~24 hours. You end up with a great tasting and strong cold drip brew without paying for (or crafting) a drip station.
I got an aeropress about a month ago. Immediately I was surprised at how different the coffee tasted when I used it. I love to use it every morning making my coffee and enjoy it much more than the drip I used before. These are some nice experiments to try too.
I rarely drink coffee. But I love Chai Lattes. So I've been trying to figure out how to make it at home without being successful every single time. Somehow I saw a French press and thought that would be the way to go. However, it looked like it would be messy and it had a lot if stainless steel parts (afraid of rust). Then I found the Aeropress. Oh my goodness. It made the absolute best Chai. All I had to do was add more water and my frothed milk. To top it off. It cleaned so easily. Now I need an electric kettle so I can stop microwaving my water. I'm going to try the cold brew method for an Iced Chai Latte tomorrow. I can't wait!
I'm a tea drinker too. Would you like to share your Chai Latte recipe for the Aeropress? Amount of the tea and water as well as how many minutes you let it seep. Do you have a favourite tea brand?
After getting a proper grinder about a week ago I was a bit disappointed with my aeropress and V60 brews. Having watched this video, I realised why - I was grinding far too coarse! This is one of the few videos I’ve seen that actually shows what medium fine *is* and gives a relative guide!
[Aeropress 9 ways vid] Bit late to leave a reply but that isn't stopping me. I was grinding close to a 12-15 on my Encore and after 6+ tries still hadn't made a good cup yet. After seeing your comment here and this vid I did both and ground at 10 with method 3 and finally made a good cup! Wow is this brewer fiddly and variable. A good thing by most measures as you can customize well, but tricky to get what I'm aiming for out of it until now.
Pretty sure i need another grinder to grind fine enough since water tends to leak through coffee and the filter into the glass on any recipe with longer stirring.
I love the AeroPress, it always fascinates me to see how many ways it can be used. It’s versatility is incomparable to any other brewer, this video has some real solid methods. I plan on trying #9 tomorrow.
I started using an Aeropress(AP hereafter) in 2008. I got that one as a birthday or Christmas present from a friend. I could NOT get coffee to taste the way I wanted and I must have wasted 5 pounds of coffee trying to get the brew up right......put the AP in the cupboard and forgot about it......forgot about it until I stumbled across somebody who posted an 'upside down' method of brewing using the AP. I dont remember who or where this was posted but THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THANK YOU!!!!! :D I got very lucky and got 'decent' results the first time by just following, loosely, the process in the post online......and I have been using an AP ever since. I have NEVER-EVER used any scale for ANYTHING in my brew up process. I use a 20oz 'Thermo-Serv insulated mug as it contains NO metal and can be microwaved and is sturdy enough to press the coffee through the AP without worry of a catastrophic accident!!! This is more important than you think!! LOL Anyway.....2 scoops of fresh beans using the supplied AP scoop, ground fine(NOT powdered) and I have found that water somewhere between 190*F and 198*F yeilds the best results....but each different coffee WILL REQUIRE experimentation on water temp as some coffees care not in the least what temp water you use and SOME want the water temp within 2* or less!! I have had coffee that I thought was garbage turn out to be AWESOME when I found that perfect brew temp. I pre-heat the AP with hot tap water or heated water while the 18oz in the mug(its 20oz to the very top) boils.....when the water boils, I open the microwave door and then pour out the pre-heat water in the AP and put in the FINE ground coffee in the AP....take the mug out of the microwave and stir the water for 1.3347 second.....thats a joke ;) and put the lid on the mug and slowly pour the water into the AP until its just below the top, then stir the coffee+water in the AP for 20-40 seconds(depends on the coffee used) and add water to the top letting the creama bulge slightly.....install the filter holder with a pre-wetted filter paper(i re-use these many times if the same coffee is used) CAREFULLY, and take the lid off the mug and CAREFULLY put the AP on top of the mug making sure to be careful as to avoid a mess and possible burns!!! I set my timer to 5 minutes, 30 seconds and wait....DING!! press the coffee into the mug....if you can easily press the plunger, your grind is too coarse!! If you cannot press the plunger, your grind is too fine.....lol This process produces about 17oz total coffee in the mug when finished. After having done this process at least 2x/day since 2009, I can say that i very rarely have any 'misfires' and the only variables in order of importance, are water temp!!!! grind size...steep time........but lets talk about water,,,,,I have found that spring water works best....I DO NOT EVER-EVER-EVER use any 'tap water' unless the tap is connected to a well on site. a friend has a house with a well that makes the most awesome coffee ever....he thinks im nuts for filling 10 or 15 water jugs(or however many I can fit in my vehicle) every time I visit for my coffee water....he isnt a coffee drinker...lol Using an AP isnt for everyone....but....it really WILL produce astonishing coffee when you get all the variables just right for your taste....but I have found that finer is better for grind size and water temp a bit higher than recommended is also better but BOTH need to be adjusted for the particular coffee used, with water temp being king. And I have finished my mug of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe while typing this all out and am going to make a Kenya AA that I just bought, now..... Cheers!!
This video just saved me heaps of grief with my new AP. Could not get a consistent cuppa to save my life. I “think” I got it now thanks to this video (and the inversion method) Thank you Thank you Thank you 🎉❤☕️
I don’t know if you have tried it but to make espresso in the aero press I put a paper filter on top of the coffee, then tamp it with a seasoning salt container that is the same diameter as the aero press then pour 60 grams of boiling hot water slowly on the cake, making sure that the puck does not break up or separate. Wait 15 seconds and push as hard as you can to get crema. I also use a metal filter to allow more of the oils to come through and get a better mouth feel
Thanks for the tip, we haven’t tried that but the result is probably very similar to what you achieve with Prismo extension we mention. Of course, you would need to buy more equipment. We will try it tomorrow ☕️🙌
For those worried about prolonged hot water contact with plastic leaching with the regular Aeropress, theres a fantastic solution I've been using with stellar results with an alternate brewing method using the original Aeropress. So simple and it's actually way more efficient than the regular way using a lot less grounds to get the same strength coffee. So simple, just boil enough water as if you were brewing to the 1.5 or 2.5 mark in the Aeropress but instead of putting it in the aeropress, just add about 1/2 to 3/4 scoop of grounds to a glass or stainless cup or 12-20 oz milk frothing pitcher and add the boiling water to the same vessel. What you're doing is brewing outside of the Aeropress in a non plastic container. The beauty of this method is you can leave the coffee brewing as long as you like and let it cool down to room temperature and get maximum extraction without bad flavors. Then after it has cooled, pour it into the Aeropress and press the cooled coffee. What you've made is a cooled down strong espresso type shot that had only a few seconds of contact time with the plastic. Now you just boil some water to add creamer to or steam some milk to dilute and bring the coffee back up to hot drinking temp. Seems to taste just as good as Brewing the regular way to me, if not better. The verdict is still out on that and I need to do more trials with various types of coffee. You can also use this method to Brew several batches in advance and store in the fridge for coffee concentrate always ready to use.
Aeropress is my daily driver at work. Love it. I've always used #5 with my Chemex but I've had better results with 40% ice to 60% water by weight. Cheers, slurp.
Hello im so excited to watch this video thankyou for giving this knowledge One question I work early in morning And i want to make coffe for my coffee morning about 200ml and 1 to go carried by thermos (about 250ml) Myquestion is can i brew it with 30gr coffee and 200ml water and the dilute it with 250ml water Or its better to brew 2times, is there any taste difference Thank you very much
suggestion: to make a larger amount of coffee, it is possible to increase the amount of beans maintaining the proportion of water. Use medium grind and water at a temperature of 93 degrees. Using the inverted method, add 200g of water and stir for half the infusion time. Extract and add the rest of the water.
First try, coffee came out perfectly, I like my coffee dark and strong. added 2 Tbsp. dark roast coffee, fill it to number 3, at 192 degrees in the inverted position, soak it for 4 minutes and wah la, I knew it was going to be delicious, when the shade is in the color of caramel, and that it was. I just got this AeroPress today. First time using it.
I love this video as I almost always use my Aeropress and just got the C40 grinder. Can't wait to try all of these! Also could have mentioned that the Prismo works wonder for inverted style brewing without having to invert. If that makes sense...
@@adityancandra9711 Haha, never thought about that similarity before. I actually like it better than the double percolation on DCP, where the chamber feels crammed with that much coffee. I'm sure it will work for you :)
Tried cold press today. I have Hario slim only so grinded it in the finest a Hario can get. Also brewed for almost 1:30 mins. With milk it tastes amazing. Quite liked it. Had a darker roast coffee, Low bitterness with good dark chocolate notes.
Thank you for all the great ideas! I was wondering if there is any way to provide some feedback on how these different strategies affect the taste of the coffee. I kept thinking throughout the video that certain processes seemed tempting but wanted to better understand the flavor, strength, etc. differences. Just got my Aeropress and thoroughly impressed coming from french press and dripper before that. Yummy!
I have had mine for around 6 years. I've been thinking of it as the "most forgiving" brewing apparatus, but this shows that "most versatile" is more accurate. It's also the most convenient/portable.
Had never heard of the supersized method and was thinking about trying to modify Tim wendelboes recipe to make a bigger batch as my themos mug can take a 350 gram batch. Will go on a short road trip tomorrow and will be bringing the Aeropress as usual. Will give the supersized method a try tomorrow 😍👌🏻
Martin Araya Do you think that was bad? I put the plunger in the other side and when i tried to put the cap with the filter and i turned it upside down it all fell to the mug and into the whole kitchen lol.
Happened to me this morning: Wet the filter, put the cap on and forgot to twist to lock it in. I pushed the aeropress down inverted till I heard the "hiss" and the coffee, wet grounds, and cap came shooting out the top 😂
AeroPress and Comandante, a duo I use on a daily basis. I generally prefer the results using a much coarser grind setting and just a litte more extraction time. But I will try your suggestions. Great video! Thanks
Hilbi changed my mind too. Would be an ideal travel and starter method, because it is easy to make a coarse grind with a cheap grinder( i had a broken hario Mini mill, but still made awesome coffee with that setup)
Thanks for the thorough overview of methods. I just purchased the AeroPress Go and tried the inverted method. My old grinder only has one setting, so the inverted method didn't care.
I received my AeroPress today and did a "no press" recipe by mistake and it was one the tastiest brews I made with the beans I used. 10 g - 180 ml, wait 2 minutes without plunger and it's ready. (There were little sediments in the server I sieved out as I poured into the cup.)
Thanks for using the Commandante settings in this! Just ordered the Aeropress Go half an hour ago, and this will definitely be an interesting one, both for camping and home..! Love my Bialetti Moka Express, so it will be interesting to see how they compare. Pretty sure ill use both, as my stomach demands different types of coffee throughout the day 😅
Such a great and helpful video! Only tried the regular and inversed method so far, but definitely gonna try the iced as well! Still struggling with the coarseness of my grinder (Porlex mini) tho.. Would love to see videos of the V60 too
And is hard to find a recipe with how many clicks on comandante, most of the videos use electric grinders or the Hario, and also, most of comandante videos are unboxing or reviews
@@carlosbarbe3417 ye but European Coffee Trip, which in my opinion has one of the best preperation tutorials, uses Commandante which is important to me. I dont watch much coffee related yt
@@ilhammagribi I had the slim before and still own it and from preground to slim is a much bigger jump in quality than from slim to commandante, even though the difference is there, esprecially when using flair espresso
I know, I literally just ordered a commandante yesterday to take my home coffee making seriously, and I primarily brew with an aeropress. This video is gold haha
Btw gents, yesterday i tried to brew strong, espresso style "melta" in aeropress and it was...surprisingly good! Actually better than melta brewed in the classical way. Try it!
For those complaining about the thumbnail resembling James' reusable cup thumbnail - this really isn't an offense worth stressing over. I greatly appreciate James' work, I truly enjoy his videos more than any other coffee videos and I've watched EVERY video he has produced BUT fighting over ideas is foolish and shortsighted. Furthermore, copyrights and patents stifle innovation. I'm a successful entrepreneur and free market capitalist yet I understand the wisdom of unrestricted innovation. To me, being a market leader means leading the others in the market in continual improvement. If I'm doing things well, the free market rewards me, and if my competitors cannot imitate me, I become complacent and innovation stagnates. I prefer to keep on my toes, working hard to stay ahead of the competition, and if they can do it better than me, then they've earned their place ahead and I'm motivated to work even smarter/harder. That is a truly free market.
Great video. I have most and have tried the majority of coffee making and said devices. Aeropress is my second favorite. I swear, I don't think you can get a better tasting coffee than from a syphon coffee maker. I use a paper filter device in mine and in my opinion, I get the most flavor out of the syphon.
That supersize method was mind-blowing! I guess extra dosing allows that "double extraction" without getting too watery. I had no idea people were doing 12 hour cold-brews and drip brews in these things too (although I'm tempted to say that the effort/time doesn't really feel right with how much coffee you get by the end of it). That being said, it's an otherwise accessible way to get into those brewing methods so still pretty cool :D
I watched this and got surprised at myself! I've only had my AP for a little over two weeks and I've tried everything but classic black coffee and cold drip 😅
Very informative video, thank you. What would be your recommendation and why for extracting fruity sweet flavour from something like a lightly roasted natural Ethiopian, etc

9 - Supersized AeroPress (13:08)
I am using Casey Faris’ s method to brew espresso but using chicken seasoning salt shaker as stamper is tricky 😂
For the Windelboe method. When do you start timer? Is it at start of adding water, or after stir?
I'm surprised you don't use a stainless screen instead of paper. The paper traps many of the oils and aromatics. Using a screen adds another dimension to the taste.
Bought my 1st AEROPRESS in 2006 ,and I have since bought 3 more . The simplicity of brewing , and taste of the end product , immediately sold me on it . At 73 years of age , I have certainly drunk my share of coffee . While all the variations of use are interesting , I still prefer the original method of preparation . Thank you , Dr. Adler !
@@SimonWoodburyForget one for home one for work? does the plunger wear out? New design is silicone so should last longer.
Good to know. I just bought the Go, and looking forward to using it tomorrow.@@ApexHerbivore

I could really use a cup of coffee.
Actually one of the best videos about Aeropress
I rarely drink coffee. But I love Chai Lattes. So I've been trying to figure out how to make it at home without being successful every single time.

Just got an Aeropress today. Must say I’m very impressed with the inverted brew coming from French press and pourover.
Fun tip for inverted method! Put the cup upside down on the inverted press and then flip the whole unit as one. No spill no trouble.
This video just saved me heaps of grief with my new AP.
Could not get a consistent cuppa to save my life.
I “think” I got it now thanks to this video (and the inversion method)

Hello im so excited to watch this video thankyou for giving this knowledge
One question
I work early in morning
And i want to make coffe for my coffee morning about 200ml and 1 to go carried by thermos (about 250ml)
Myquestion is can i brew it with 30gr coffee and 200ml water and the dilute it with 250ml water
Or its better to brew 2times, is there any taste difference
Thank you very much
Oh forgot to mention idont want to bring my aeropress and coffee to my office and my office doesnt have good water to brew coffee
I love my aeropress, only coffee maker I use now.
suggestion: to make a larger amount of coffee, it is possible to increase the amount of beans
maintaining the proportion of water. Use medium grind and water at a temperature of 93 degrees.
Using the inverted method, add 200g of water and stir for half the infusion time.
Extract and add the rest of the water.
Thanks for sharing. Sure, we know, that’s what we can do in point 1 but the goal was to make a bigger batch without a dilution.
For Aeropress on ice, it's great in a cocktail shaker to get it cold faster with less dilution and a nice foamy texture.
This video is the best of all to get the most out of your aeropress. Thanks.
This was an insanely helpful video!! I just got my own aeropress and I’m super excited to try all these methods. Keep it up!!
Thanks Ranay, have fun with the AeroPress!

I just got this AeroPress today. First time using it.
Thanks for making this video !! now I really understand this equipment is a multi-purpose coffee maker !
The inverted method was great. I'm into cold brew at the moment and never thought to use the AeroPress like this.
I love this video as I almost always use my Aeropress and just got the C40 grinder. Can't wait to try all of these!
Also could have mentioned that the Prismo works wonder for inverted style brewing without having to invert. If that makes sense...
Awesome overview! And stoked to see you guys testing the Supersized method 🙌
thank's to you guys for sharing and invent this brew method idea..
It's like DCP, but it's not.. hope this works for me.. cheers!
@@adityancandra9711 Haha, never thought about that similarity before. I actually like it better than the double percolation on DCP, where the chamber feels crammed with that much coffee. I'm sure it will work for you :)
I just do a very strong invert and then dilute, I don't really see why the partial plunge is necessary.
Tried cold press today. I have Hario slim only so grinded it in the finest a Hario can get. Also brewed for almost 1:30 mins. With milk it tastes amazing. Quite liked it. Had a darker roast coffee, Low bitterness with good dark chocolate notes.

I have been handicapping my Aeropress compared to some of these methods. Alot of experimenting to come. Thank you.
Method number 9 is the one I used almost from the gitgo,since I needed a way to fill my 20 ounce mug !
I have had mine for around 6 years. I've been thinking of it as the "most forgiving" brewing apparatus, but this shows that "most versatile" is more accurate. It's also the most convenient/portable.
It IS the most forgiving brewing method. It also just so happens to be very open to variable changes.
Had never heard of the supersized method and was thinking about trying to modify Tim wendelboes recipe to make a bigger batch as my themos mug can take a 350 gram batch. Will go on a short road trip tomorrow and will be bringing the Aeropress as usual. Will give the supersized method a try tomorrow 😍👌🏻
One time I was doing the inverted method and forgot to put the filter paper 🤦🏻♂️ It was a disaster
Yeah, we know that feeling:)
Same here! I never made the mistake again 😂
Martin Araya Do you think that was bad? I put the plunger in the other side and when i tried to put the cap with the filter and i turned it upside down it all fell to the mug and into the whole kitchen lol.
I have forgotten the filter and dumped it over into a mess 3 times already. I clearly was not awake yet!
Happened to me this morning: Wet the filter, put the cap on and forgot to twist to lock it in. I pushed the aeropress down inverted till I heard the "hiss" and the coffee, wet grounds, and cap came shooting out the top 😂
AeroPress and Comandante, a duo I use on a daily basis. I generally prefer the results using a much coarser grind setting and just a litte more extraction time. But I will try your suggestions. Great video! Thanks
Thanks for this video! The Spcialty Coffee Association's black coffee recommendation is really good. Love my Aeropress.
the over night cold brew and the 9th method - gonna try tomorrow morning ; D how exciting!
The French press style method blew my mind. I had never thought of that
Hilbi changed my mind too. Would be an ideal travel and starter method, because it is easy to make a coarse grind with a cheap grinder( i had a broken hario Mini mill, but still made awesome coffee with that setup)
Woww... i never try the last one..
Stay safe everyone..
The surprising thing is that this video came out in 2020! Thanks for sharing. I'm seeing light on my AP now
Thanks for the thorough overview of methods. I just purchased the AeroPress Go and tried the inverted method. My old grinder only has one setting, so the inverted method didn't care.
I tried the inverted method today. It was super easy and tasted great.
When flipping using the inverted method, make sure the pressure doesn't pop the syringe out; I learned it the hard way.
I received my AeroPress today and did a "no press" recipe by mistake and it was one the tastiest brews I made with the beans I used.
10 g - 180 ml, wait 2 minutes without plunger and it's ready.
(There were little sediments in the server I sieved out as I poured into the cup.)
Thanks for the great video on Aeropress. Always look forward to your coffee videos. You all take care of yourselves with this Covid 19 in Europe.
Real like you coffee reviews
Thanks for using the Commandante settings in this! Just ordered the Aeropress Go half an hour ago, and this will definitely be an interesting one, both for camping and home..! Love my Bialetti Moka Express, so it will be interesting to see how they compare. Pretty sure ill use both, as my stomach demands different types of coffee throughout the day 😅
The last one for brewing more coffee is really nice. Enjoy your videos.
Finally ordered an aero press. I definitely need it next to my Clever, V60, Crystal dripper and Cafelat Robot.
Such a great and helpful video! Only tried the regular and inversed method so far, but definitely gonna try the iced as well! Still struggling with the coarseness of my grinder (Porlex mini) tho.. Would love to see videos of the V60 too
Best coffee maker in the Universe.
Thanks for all the recipes! There were even a few ones new to me :) So, Ales, you tasted all of them; which one is your favourite?
I represent the owners of Comandante grinder say thank you very much, Ales! LOL!
It was a pleasure!
So lucky to own a commandante because youre always telling how many clicks on commandante haha
Good for you mate while here still stuck with hario slim 😂
And is hard to find a recipe with how many clicks on comandante, most of the videos use electric grinders or the Hario, and also, most of comandante videos are unboxing or reviews
@@carlosbarbe3417 ye but European Coffee Trip, which in my opinion has one of the best preperation tutorials, uses Commandante which is important to me. I dont watch much coffee related yt
@@ilhammagribi I had the slim before and still own it and from preground to slim is a much bigger jump in quality than from slim to commandante, even though the difference is there, esprecially when using flair espresso
I know, I literally just ordered a commandante yesterday to take my home coffee making seriously, and I primarily brew with an aeropress. This video is gold haha
I just brew inverted aero press, blooming and full brewing for less than 2mins whether hot or cold, nothing fancy but still taste great
EXCELLENT video. So helpful and clear. Congratulations to you and the whole team behind it.
Thanks so much for this video. I used the French press method and I’m currently enjoying a wonderful cup
Thank you for the time stamps! 🙏🏼
Holy sh*t. That last one was genius. Thanks for this video man
Btw gents, yesterday i tried to brew strong, espresso style "melta" in aeropress and it was...surprisingly good!
Actually better than melta brewed in the classical way. Try it!
makes me wanna give a second chance to melta
Well done. Thank you for the demonstration.
so that was 9 coffee's in a short time for me, still awake after two weeks :D
But it was a very productive two weeks.....he cleaned the house and yard like a madman six times over.
Thank you for including the number of clicks in comandante.
For those complaining about the thumbnail resembling James' reusable cup thumbnail - this really isn't an offense worth stressing over. I greatly appreciate James' work, I truly enjoy his videos more than any other coffee videos and I've watched EVERY video he has produced BUT fighting over ideas is foolish and shortsighted. Furthermore, copyrights and patents stifle innovation. I'm a successful entrepreneur and free market capitalist yet I understand the wisdom of unrestricted innovation. To me, being a market leader means leading the others in the market in continual improvement. If I'm doing things well, the free market rewards me, and if my competitors cannot imitate me, I become complacent and innovation stagnates. I prefer to keep on my toes, working hard to stay ahead of the competition, and if they can do it better than me, then they've earned their place ahead and I'm motivated to work even smarter/harder. That is a truly free market.
hope to try traditional method too... definitely i will do it soon on my channel. Thank you very much for this video 😊 👍
The last method is the one that surprised me the most, ill give it a try once ill get my hands on a properly roasted coffee.
this is amazing i have aeropress for about 4 years but just now i know about it
love it.
tip though when inverted method chuck the cup upside first works so much better!
I have an original aeropress But I really love the travel size one you have.
I just tried the french press style method and god damn that cup was tasty af
Thank you for the demonstrations with the Aeropress. I especially like the Puck-Puck cold brew attachment. Can’t wait to try the other nine methods.
Best Aeropress video ever! Thanks
I like the aeropress because I can change my dose without needing to dial in changing the grind size as you would with espresso.
You look like a monk. Stability and relax. Thanks for sharing!
You are amazing and you were the reason for me to buy this durable coffee brew tool.... thanks my bro
Great video. I have most and have tried the majority of coffee making and said devices. Aeropress is my second favorite. I swear, I don't think you can get a better tasting coffee than from a syphon coffee maker. I use a paper filter device in mine and in my opinion, I get the most flavor out of the syphon.
Thanks for sharing, great video as always, method 3 is my favorite cup of coffee.
That supersize method was mind-blowing! I guess extra dosing allows that "double extraction" without getting too watery. I had no idea people were doing 12 hour cold-brews and drip brews in these things too (although I'm tempted to say that the effort/time doesn't really feel right with how much coffee you get by the end of it). That being said, it's an otherwise accessible way to get into those brewing methods so still pretty cool :D
Actually the Supersized method is a pretty standard 1;15 ratio, so it's not that different from something like a V60 extraction-wise 👍
Thanks for this complete tricks of aeropress. Its very helpfull..
Thanks!
I really enjoyed this! It was entertaining and helpful. Thank you!
I'm just here to hear Ales say "puck puck."
:)
I watched this and got surprised at myself! I've only had my AP for a little over two weeks and I've tried everything but classic black coffee and cold drip 😅
AeroPress XL was new to me!
Bought one within a day of seeing this. She does nicely, def recommend over a standard drip pot ❤
So informative! Will have fun trying them all
Very informative video, thank you. What would be your recommendation and why for extracting fruity sweet flavour from something like a lightly roasted natural Ethiopian, etc
This is so awesome! Learned a lot
Great video. What measuring cup are you using? It fits the Aeropress perfectly!
You guys made an excellent vid,
gladly i have a comandante & aeropress..
Great channel, great video 👍🏽
Trying the French press right now!
Just want to confirm, with the inverted method, there is no mixing involved? Thanks for this video!
what about the push-pull-push method which creates both positive and negative pressure.
it’s what i use. works great!
Interesting video! Greetings from Colombia!
Thank you! Cheers from the Czech Republic.
Love it. Thanks for the video. New sub.
Thank you ☕️🖤
