How do people like aeropresses overall?

[–] eramseth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They're amazing honestly. Extra good for travel.

[–] moosh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Dunno but I love mine!

[–] IncidentalIncidence@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago

would recommend it to everyone. I don't use it every day, but there are a million and one ways to brew with it, it's very handy for traveling, it's super easy.

I use it particularly for when I'm at the end of a bag of coffee and don't have enough left to do a French Press or a pour-over -- I have a couple of Aeropress recipes that use 10-12 grams.

Aw I have the same cup!

I will admit, washing it kinda sucks lol

Weirdly, I’ve never had an issue with it. The dishwasher seems to get it clean every time. shrug

[–] reverie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It must be a hand-washing problem that you are too dishwasher to understand

Have you tried inverted method? It allows you to steep longer, thus extract more coffee.

I have tried that too, but never really saw the value in that, although that could be because my lack in tasting skills.

I’m grinding fairly fine (1.1 in the Aergrind), which seems to clog up the paper filter to such an extent that dripping is very slow. I also stir a lot to make extraction a bit faster, so I would say that I haven’t had trouble with extracting enough in the upright configuration.

I, too, am a filthy mug enthusiast.

Pro tip: Don't consume caffeine within about 1 hour of waking up. Waiting a bit gives your body time to clean up the sleep chemicals and get started on the being awake chemicals before you start adding to the mix.

There are a lot of articles about this out there (here's one), but they all say more or less the same thing, as far as I've been able to tell.

that's a great tip, thanks for posting

Oh, interesting! I’m very, very guilty of doing the opposite of that. Making coffee is always the first activity of the day for me.

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry I’m bumping a nearly month-old thread here, but big same. Making coffee for myself and my wife in the morning is one of the most enjoyable parts of my morning routine. I guess I should consider when I actually “wake up” and when I start consuming the coffee, but it’s almost certainly less than an hour most days.

No apologies necessary!
