🔜 Fur Eh!I have a new book.
MOVED:They faux'd around & found out!@[email protected] - Will be curious on your take on that. Got an Aeropress, and still figuring it (coffee amount) out.
@camstonefaux https://youtu.be/j6VlT_jUVPc I more or less follow this recipe and technique (from the author of the book).
If you find your brew is too strong, you can always dilute it a little with some hot water (like an Americano).
I use my AeroPress for travel, mostly. It is wonderful for making coffee in a hotel room provided a kettle is available.
The Ultimate AeroPress Technique (Episode #3)
@[email protected] - I got the Aeropress (as a Christmas present) mainly for travel as well, and think it’s worth it for that. My first cup was weak, the second far better, but it still isn’t as good as my Phillips-Senseo with Dowe Eggberts coffee pods. I’ll probably find the right recipe, similar to the one in the YouTube video… for now, it’s just figuring it out.
@camstonefaux a weak cup can be a few variables, mainly I'd look at your water to coffee ratio 18g of water to 1g of coffee is a good starting point. I like 16:1.
Hopefully you grind your own beans. Adjusting the grind down as fine as you can until you start to get unpleasant bitterness or if it makes pushing the plunger too difficult. Then dial it back just a little bit.
Obviously, I don't think I need to tell you to adjust 1 variable at a time and document it along the way.
