Easy steps to make great cup of coffee
I have a coffee press machine, but this is different, very fast easy to clean and great coffee taste even my parents love the coffee taste, light with low acidity. A+
Best coffee maker I have ever had.
The Aeropress makes great tasting coffee. I feel like I wake up to my own espresso, latte or the best coffe, whatever your taste buds feel like.
Very good, if you follow the instructions
We have an espresso machine, access to a commercial espresso machine, a drip machine and this. The wife's company gives us more Java than we can drink, so the slightly less efficient use of coffee isn't an issue for us. Compared to the espresso machines this is relatively fast and easy, there's no tamping and no intermediate shot glasses. I use espresso ground coffee from a burr grinder, I grind what I need and dump it straight in then add the water, stir, count to twenty and apply pressure to the plunger. I could grind it less fine, use more coffee and less pressure. But this works for me.
The results are fine, as good as the espresso machines for Americano.
How anyone can be enough of a coffee snob to claim that this gives "no flavor" just escapes me, like saying an orange has no color. What I do notice is that the bitterness is gone, perhaps they don't know that bitterness is not flavor?
Cleanup is extremely simple, the plug of mostly dry grounds and the filter just drop into the compost bin and the last few grounds can be wiped or washed off in a couple of seconds.
The drip machine is worthless now and sitting waiting to be recycled or passed on to someone else.
Update: We bought this at the same time as a DeLonghi espresso machine, the wife said she prefers that so I left her the machine and took the Aeropress to work. After less than a month the novelty of the machine has worn off and she's asking for the Aeropress back because it's faster and less fuss to use. So I ordered another one.
A Perfect Cup of Coffee!
AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker
A co-worker introduced me to the AeroPress Coffee and Espresso maker after we decided to brew our coffee in the office rather than buying a cup dailey at our local gas station. It's quick,convenient and easy to do. No bitter coffee taste. A perfect cup of coffee EVERY time! A must have for any coffee lover!
Mocha Madness
I purchased the AeroPress because a "CoffeeConvo.com" friend made me the most amazing Mocha I had ever had. Yes, even better than Starbucks! I grind the beans to fine grind, if no grinder (at work) than I simply use already ground with 2 paper filters instead of one. I mean, I can simply think that I want a Mocha and in 5 minutes, be enjoying one. I even get the espresso foam! I have made hot or iced. I am still very pleased with my purchase. Also, you don't have to wait for the espresso maker to cool down if you want to make a lot for visitors, as you would for an electric espresso maker.
