Love the AeroPress!! My favorite brew method. Two questions... why wouldn’t you stir the grounds and spices together? I brew inverted but always give the recommended “10 stirs” before plunging. Second... I am intrigued by the spiced brew, and my wife would likely love it. Wondering if there would be any “ghosting” or carryover flavors to subsequent cups from all the spices? I would not appreciate that.
True. But then you more get oils, which paper filters block. Depending on your preference, this can be desirable or objectionable. First thing I thought of when she comments how hard it is to plunge is "coffee's too finely ground"... go 1 step coarser until you find the right grind. IMHO, the inverted method is simpler and less prone to spills. The few drips you get from the standard method aren't worth this extra risk. Matters as much as which direction you stir the coffee!
I recommend "That Brew App" for some great Aeropress recipes and methods. Your right the flavors of the spices come out very nice. I dont personally ever do the traditional method, inverted all the way! My original doesnt have the measurment markings sadly.
I put a thin layer of Coconut Oil on the edge of the rubber plunger before using it. It slides so much easier. Unscrew the filter holder and the hockey puck of coffee easily goes into the trash. French press is good to but harder to clean up.
There is a simple trick: unload the exhaust coffee, then add a bit of dish soap inside the french press, water and plunge it back and forth for 5-6 time, then wash it. Sorry for my English 😅
@@massimomaniscalco Depends on the oil. Some taste of coconut and other are virtually flavourless. I also add some unsalted grass fed butter. That's where the real flavour is. It's a meal replacement thing, rest of the day I'm all black.
That aero press looks dodgy. If you're pushing down that hard on it, it's not a stretch to imagine it and the cup sliding out from underneath and covering you in hot coffee. What's the big difference between that and a French press anyway? It looks a similar sort of method except requiring 100 times the force to get your coffee.
They are both infusion methods, but the paper filter in the aeropress makes a big difference! What's also important is that the brewing time is much shorter than a french press because of the pressure you add to the coffee. The brewing time for an aeropress could be between 2 and 2,5 minutes. Maaaybe 3 minutes, but it's still shorter than the 4 minutes it usually takes for the french press. This recipe is an exception to the rule, probably because of the spices :) I've been using the aeropress for about 4 or 5 years now and never had the problem of the cup sliding from underneath the aeropress, but I usually make the aeropress on a sturdy coffee mug just to be sure! You don't have to put that much force on the thing for it to work. If you have to push hard, the grind is probably too fine. What I really like about it is that it is a very versatile and simple thing to make coffee with. You can easily make a sort of faux espresso, regular filter coffee, flash brews and probably more whacky stuff for relatively low price. A big con though is that you can one brew one cup at a time. Hope this helps!
Yes! I did that once with a french press and endured burns on both wrists. The solution was to make the grind a bit coarser. The other thing is I never plunge coffee without hanging onto the cup or press handle. It was nerve wracking watching her make that coffee without doing that.
You don't believe in Aeropress? What does that mean? You don't like Aeropress? Or you don't believe it exists? While they both use a piston, French press and Aeropress are different. The latter relies on a vacuum principle, and pushes the water through the grinds under pressure, with a higher percentage of coffee to water in the brew. The resulting extract more akin to espresso than American drip coffee. People often dilute the extract with water. The French press is a method that permits greater contact of water to grids, but filters the grinds away from the brew. The wire mesh creates no vacuum effect. It is a more gentle way of brewing, with a lighter extract that is not normally watered back. It isn't better or worse, it's just different. I alternate between both, plus a proper espresso machine, depending on the type of coffee I feel like at the time.
What a load of tosh! Far too much fiddling about needed - over FIVE MINUTES for just one cup of coffee, is she for real? The pressure required to push down the plunger will be too much for some people - they might even break a bone in their hand or wrist. And what if you have two or three friends standing around waiting for THEIR cup of coffee.. will they want to wait while you empty all the spent grounds out, clean the mechanism, get rid of the strong aromas from the various essences (not sure how you do that), then wet a new paper filter - oh and wait for the water to heat up again .... etc etc. Move on guys, absolutely nothing to see here.

Love me some Clementine. Never miss a coffee collaboration. ❤️
Calling my aeropress "the tower of coffee" from now on
I want to see the official Clementine blooper reel. Please make a blooper video..
YES!!! With all her swears uncensored!
Ok, Clem is different than most coffee aficionados. Kind of cute, kind of quirky but, hey, she seems to know her stuff.
You did good, ☕️😊 fun and informative video
Clementine and the aeropress.... unlimited power!!!

I love Clementine 😍☕
Use those muscles, Clem!
ThankYou Clem!!
Have you looked into Coffee Jelly? It’s quite a popular dessert in Japan- I don’t have the recipe on hand, but when well made it’s quite delectable
the metal filter is better if you don't want to push as hard to extract the coffee.

Thanks, Clementine.
I wonder how a splash of almond milk would be in that
I officially have a crush on Clem.
Welcome to the club
Took you this long? Amateur.
Clem is fire !!!
How about talking about good tasting decaf.
I don’t think you’re supposed to steep the coffee when you use the aero press. Forcing the water through the grounds when you press does enough.
Blake IMO, steeping gives the cup a much fuller body while still preserving all the flavor you want.
We're not worthy!

I put a tablespoon of coconut oil in my coffee, but that's a different story.
@@alanredversangel it gives a good taste?

Simply wet the seal as per the Aeropress instructions.

Aeropress has a thin filter which filters some of the Essentials oil and make a cleaner taste of coffee

I haven't had an accident yet. Some mugs with a much smaller base than rim are risky though...
I’ve been using one for something like 5 years, and neither me nor my wife have had one accident. And it makes the best cup of coffee out there.

I don’t believe in Aeropress. It is basically a French press. I just make French press.

So, you don't like the Aeropress
Are you serious...
Your putting nutmeg, cardinom, and essence in... Wow
that is not true coffee
indeed, the use of coffee grinder is pathetic. use your teeth, lady!
That’s kinda the point, duh
That’s soup!
Real coffee...step one, build campfire, step two, retrieve enamelware pot from saddlebag...
Jeff Piper pfft- that's of you're a sissy man. Real coffee is made through sheer force. And saddlebags? What... You don't have arms?
