"How is it?" "Not great, not terrible." Edit so this isn't just an empty meme: I ordered a Prismo attachment for my aeropress this morning, does anyone have any insight on how to get the best results from it? cptn_dr fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Jun 6, 2023 |

Not sure about best results, but something that helps me with cleanup is to press it down all the way, then give it one firm pull, which should release most of the grounds from the metal filter. There'll still be a little bit around the edges, and getting the filter itself out of the cap may still be a little finicky, but it speeds things up nicely

cptn_dr posted:"How is it?" I use this app for brewing guides https://aeromatic.app/. My default recipes are the James Hoffman regular cup and espresso. While it does have Prismo specific methods listed, I use it for every brew. It's nice to have the coffee steep without needing to invert the aeropress or worry about making a vacuum seal to prevent dripping. I also just tried 404's method: thanks for the game changer.

The kickstarter for the sculptor grinder turned out to allow non-US people to switch to a 078 if they had backed a 78s (due to kickstarter rules they couldn't provide an already released product to backers), so I will be getting exactly what I wanted. Seems pretty end game for me since I don't wanna make espresso at home. Hopefully it holds up well!

newest hoffmann video shows some really alarming signs of where the new owners of the aeropress wants to take the company get ready for even more pointless "innovations" (read: junk) just for the sake of producing and selling more trash in order to show ~growth~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWvU-MncnJI

It's me, I'm the idiot who might end up buying a glass/metal aeropress. Also that video clears up why I thought the aeropress was clear to begin with, I owned one many years ago, when I guess...it was.

I've had my Aeropress for over a decade at this point, I think it's probably one of those "Buy It For Life" items that I'll never have to replace. I did lose the filter cap once.

I picked up the new clear brewer and the new flow control cap (i.e., the Fellow Prismo copy) a few weeks ago. My current/old Aeropress is a 2012 model, with the grid pattern on the cap. I haven't used any others until now, so I don't know if this is a recent development, but the cap on the clear with the radial pattern is ever so slightly wider—maybe 1mm or 2mm—and it ends up being a tight fit on my mug of choice. That's sort of a niche complaint because I don't expect many people to be using my same East Fork mug, but it's something to note if you have similar clearance issues with your mug. It'll still fit if I jam it on there, but it expands a tiny bit from the heat of brewing, and I have to be careful afterward about how I twist it when I wrench it off, or else the cap will unscrew and stay in the mug and get grounds everywhere as I release. Not a big deal overall. But I do have a big problem with the flow control cap. It loving sucks. No matter how tightly I attach it to the Aeropress, it leaks while pressing, flowing out over the edges of the mug and getting onto the counter. I suspect I don't have the same problem with the Prismo because the included metal filter has a rubber gasket around the edges (probably to deal with this exact issue), but this is just an incredibly faulty product. That is, when I use it with the new clear Aeropress. For testing purposes, I also tried the flow control cap on my 2012 Aeropress and it worked fine. So I guess don't get both new products at the same time? Not sure if I got a defective unit, but it's very surprising to me that it would work with an old Aeropress and not a new. And I contacted customer support a few days after getting it, and still haven't heard back. So, not sure if it's just side effects of being under new management (would Adler have enforced more robust testing/QA, and maintained the quality of customer service?), but it's actually soured me a bit on the company. Probably won't be buying any more new products from them

The clear Aeropress seems.. fine? I don’t get the sense that many people are gonna plump for the more expensive version. You can still buy the regular and it’s certainly more expensive than before but so is everything else in the world. The inventor made no innovations in the past 20 years and was hardly the best custodian of a cool new brewing method. I’m psyched as hell for Aeropress XL, assuming it actually works.

Gunder posted:I own a P64 with SSP Multipurpose (unimodal) burrs. They make excellent espresso and filter (once adequately seasoned). The only thing stopping me from recommending them automatically over the other burrs would be: how much do you value texture/body in your espresso? If you prefer thicker shots with more body, then the SSP High-Uniformity burrs would probably be a better pick. The advantage of the Multipurpose burrs is the amount of clarity they provide, but they do so at the cost of texture. Did you spend the extra  to get the black anodized color, or just the silver? Any extra opinions about the fit, finish, etc?

In the video, Hoffmann said the Aeropress creator tried to make an XL version but didn't like it due to engineer reasons. So when it does come out, I'll be curious if there will be some design flaw about having a larger chamber. Or will it show Adler was too particular about the product. It's also whack they'll include less paper filters with the clear version.

I don't have any single cup brewing system and normally drink espresso. I've been considering getting a v60 or a chemex or an aeropress or something but haven't pulled the trigger. If you're brewing single cup, what would you prefer? How are the results different? I know you can make a lot more volume with the chemex than either of the more traditional single cup methods. I'd be getting another grinder for this also, probably the ode fellow or whatever unless something else at that price point can compete. Thanks!

Gunder posted:Yeah, I got the black one. There aren’t any other options you can pick, apart from burr choice. Hmm, looking at the burr choices, again, I'm wondering if the Mizen is a better choice for espresso and pour over. I don't feel like light roasts are always easy to find locally, vs medium roasts. In addition, I was gifted a monthly coffee subscription from a local roaster (Greater Goods) and it seemed like the bulk of coffees they mailed me were dark roasts. While I think I prefer lighter roasts, if I'm gifted something darker, I at least want to be able to brew good coffee with it. Option O posted:1. SSP - Unimodal Espresso (UM) /Multipurpose

I'm a big fan of a moka pot over most other options recently, as long as you get one in the right size for what you need (probably 2-3 cups for the size for 1 person).

For some weird reason, REI got the Aeropress XL before anyone else. I managed to snag one before they sold out. First thing people should know- the filters are bigger than the standard size, and at the moment no one is selling the XL size filters. Including Aeropress. The filters are 2.75 inches in diameter which also means you can't buy a circle punch and punch out your own filters. No one makes that size punch anymore. it might be easier to find one outside of the US if someone makes a 7 cm punch. I would hope that Aeropress is selling the filter by the end of June, because it seems like that's when this thing was supposed to come out. I think REI jumped the gun on selling them. That said, it brews exactly like a standard Aeropress. The recipes scale up perfectly. I did a 500 ml standard style brew and had a good 50 - 70 ml drip through before I could get the plunger in to create a vacuum. It didn't affect the taste. I also did a 500 ml inverted brew, which was a little scarier than normal but it wasn't a real issue. Knocking it over would suck so bad, but I've never hosed up an inverted Aeropress in the 15 years I've used them so I'll try to keep my streak going. It comes with a Tritan plastic carafe and a long boy stirrer, which are both pretty essential for the increased size of the thing. The carafe makes the $75 bucks I paid sting a little less, but it's still pretty pricy. The carafe does not come with a lid, either. It's really just included so people don't complain that the XL doesn't work with their mug of choice. It also looks like a penis pump.

If you're brewing single cup, what would you prefer? How are the results different? I know you can make a lot more volume with the chemex than either of the more traditional single cup methods. I have used a Bee House ceramic #4 dripper and a Hario glass pitcher to brew a two-cup-at-a-time pourover batch every morning for a long time and it gets the job done very well, surprisingly. The V60 has always been more finnicky in my limited experience just due to how the water flows through the funnel, but is still a good option. I have used Chemex pitchers and honestly the biggest difference I've noticed is how little body the final cup has. Those Chemex filters are very thick and suck most of the oil out of the cup, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but can be a matter of personal preference. I mostly drink lighter roasts, though, so take that for what it's worth.

Before I actually used it, I thought they should have used the same filters and just made it taller. But after using it, there’s no way that would be feasible. Pressing down on that tall of a cylinder would have been difficult for anyone under 6 feet tall to get leverage. And if you didn’t press exactly straight down, the carafe would have tipped and shot out in a random direction. There would have been so many spills or even shattered coffee cups.

I've only ever lurked this thread but I made the stupid mistake of asking goons in a slack last week about a grinder recommendation since my Cuisinart burr grinder poo poo the bed. Now I have a Capresso Infinity, Timemore C2, two pounds of green beans, a popcorn popper, have watched about half of James Hoffmann's content, and have been furiously working on my one cup game with the aeropress and moka pot several times daily. I'm dangerously close to getting a digital thermometer.
