Aeropress is cheaper and doesn't take up so much room on your counters. Plus I can carry it with me on vacation. Great vid, thanks for the comparison.

I have a very fine steel fabric filter with 100,000+ holes per square inch. I find that it takes a lot of effort to push the coffee through this fine filter. I also have a less fine steel filter and I find the coffee slips through this filter too quickly. The steel filter you used in your video seemed to let the coffee through very nicely. Can you tell me what kind of filter you used? Thanks David Cartledge

Mine says it is a fine filter made by Able at AbleBrewing.com. I just bought it on an eBay store that offered coarse or fine stainless steel filters for AeroPress.

The types of Espresso machine make a difference too. What is the made and model of your espresso if you don't mind? Great comparison video though

Thanks for the review. I found it very helpful as the long black is my choice. I didn't catch the name/make of the hand coffee grinder. Would you be able to tell me?

It's a Porlex mini. There are better, more expensive ones available now that would be more uniform grind with a noticeable improvement.

No, but I have tried Nanopresso by Wacaco and that was good and their new Picopresso sounds even better. They are very portable and make stronger shots than Aeropress but all have problems with temperature that tend to lead to sour or less complex shots. That's probably ok when travelling and when milk or sugar is added. Aeropress is pretty hard to beat in terms of cost and results.

So how is the aero press different than a drip filter technique?
@michaelporter000
5 жыл бұрын
Aeropress is different to drip because water is pushed through the coffee under pressure. This makes it a quicker process that gives a more concentrated brew with a different taste. It's closer to an espresso.

crema is the result of the brew method NOT an integral part of a coffee drink.
@michaelporter000

Crema has a visual impact and flavour and a texture, so for an espresso it is part of the drink that cannot be ignored - but for brew methods that don't create crema that is perfectly ok, it is just different.

Actually - I should say that even though I have seen other experts talk about the taste of the crema, my humble taste buds have not been able to distinguish it from the rest of the flavours when taken all together.

No good as a demo when only one quantity is known, we know the grind is the same, assume it’s fine, we need coffee amount, water amount, brewing time for aero press, apart from that, great.

Crema is one of the special things about espresso that you don't get with other coffee-making methods. Its appearance makes coffee much more inviting to drink because of its caramel colour and it moves like a freshly-poured Guinness in an enticing way. It is an indication of the freshness of the beans. It has a mouth-feel that is different and gives the drink more body and has a different taste to the rest of the coffee. It just adds life, similar to dropping ice-cream into coke, even though coke is fine without it. After all that - whether it improves the taste is debatable and coffee can be great without it.

@@michaels-ideas I understand the supposed reasons, I should have clarified in that I was referring to taste. With most of the remant coffee grinds and unwanted protein molecules being trapped in the crema. Leading to the bitter, 'roasted' flavour.

I'm very new to Aeropress and am enjoying it quite a lot. I have a few serious espresso machines so I'm talking from some experience. I saw some serious mistakes here that should be pointed out: 1) Water not the recommended temperature by Aeropress which is 175 degrees. 2) Metal filter used whereby a paper filter is recommended. 3) Using the inverted method and although legit, it is not the way shown in the instructions. 4) Regarding the espresso machine......nothing is stated. So what is the point of the video other than to display what "you" do? Although perfectly valid as an end use of the Aeropress, as a comparison it's virtually useless.
@michaelporter000

All valid points. I wanted to know how the flavour compared when using the same amount of beans and water - i.e. same ingredients using a different process, given that the cost of the equipment for the two processes is way different. Also, there are no fixed rules for how you choose to use the equipment. Different temperatures produce different flavour in the final result, for example. Metal filters allow more oils to end up in the cup and also changes the flavour. Maybe I'm kidding myself but I feel like I can taste the paper when I use paper filters. I also find the metal filter more practical.

@@michaelporter000 Michael Porter As you said Michael, all valid points. I'm all for experimenting but my point was it was useless to viewer as a comparison. As you made no claims to be an expert advising viewers on coffee so I'm changing my vote to thumbs up. I see you publish on a wide variety of subjects so the video was in keeping with your goals. I just happened upon it cause of my newly acquired Aeropress and I was looking for more info. This little press has just saved me a considerable amount of money as I'm really into high tech machines. The Aeropress has really changed my thinking.
