I just noticed my #Aeropress is sort of worn down and abraded inside. Like..the plastic feels slightly rough to the touch, and it really makes me think about how much microplastic I have rubbed off into my coffee. I've had it for years, and probably time to replace it.
There is a Dutch company called Jor which makes a knock-off, works the exact same way, just a different brand, so I think I'll try local.
Blue Bottle Coffee — Three Africas Blend
The promised fruit notes needed some coaxing.https://islandinthenet.com/blue-bottle-coffee-three-africas-blend/
Why didn't #NextLevel make the Pulsar Mini #coffee dripper the same diameter as #AeroPress, so the filters are interchangeable? The need to buy very specific filters is the huge drawback for me, it really moves the dripper to the category of useless gizmos.
Fuck. Did they really need to gentrify Aeropress? Modern life product development (+ capitalism) really sucks big time sometimes.
Like, they have a perfect product. It's cheap to produce, long lasting, it can be used in different ways, everyone loves is. OF COURSE some asshole has to go "how can we make that more expensive", and sell some more! 😡
With a recommendation from the “Kahve Demleyen Yazılımcılar” group under AYA, I bought Colombia Carambo beans from Tone Coffee Roastery in Istanbul for filter/Aeropress brewing. SCA 85 score, light roast. It was my first time brewing an SCA-scored, light roast bean with an Aeropress.
Man… It smells intensely like fermented fruit wine and vanilla, and there’s none of that bitterness I’ve experienced with so many other brands. I’ve seriously been brewing garbage for months…
