Aeropress again-again.
Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2011 4:35 pm
Very-slowly trying to catch-up on this forum, the Aeropress has always been my favoured tool after deciding that espresso wasn't working for me.
So, the Aeropress is favoured, if we have coffee drinking guests they get a press-pot which is fine but not as nice as the Aeropress with gold filters.
I've just seen an interesting use of the Aeropress by one of your professionals called Keith O'Sullivan here; http://vimeo.com/27379759
Keith gets a lot of coffee out of the Aeropress though I can't stop thinking it's a bit on on the weak side. Does anyone use this method ? Keeping everything warm must be a nightmare and what is the purpose of that T-Pot-type pot with the fancy-wiggle in the spout ?
One thing that does me in the head going from press-pot to Aeropress is the grind. If I set my machine to fine for the Aeropress I get a lot of sludge in the press-pot.
Dump the press-pot, buy another two Aeropress and use Keith's technique when the need arrises.
Yes ?
