Makes a great coffee

Great coffee, but expensive for the a few bits of plastic

I’m not happy because it didn’t come with a metal filter. I checked before I bought it and a question was answered that it came with one so I will have to pay over £22 to get one. Left me feeling cheated.

This has made me enjoy coffee now. I could never get it right. This is fool proof, always works, always the best cup. I recently purchased some Aeropress grind and on weekend mornings I now look forward to coffee from my Aeropress. Found out there are plenty of tricks to make more coffee. I always thought it was a two cup maker, but if you increase coffee grinds to 40ish grams you can dilute the coffee with hot water and make about 6 servings. Will never use another coffee maker.

I learned about the AeroPress through Black Rifle Coffee. I read good things about it and wanted to purchase it, but the standard size AeroPress only makes a 10oz or smaller cup. Once I found the XL version (makes up to 20oz cup), I had to try it. I am very happy with it! The first few tries using it I was a little disappointed. It seemed like the same coffee that was very "strong" in a regular coffee maker was bland in the AeroPress. But then I realized a couple of things: 1) I was not using the AeroPress correctly (see the end of the review for the method I learned), 2) once I started using it correctly, the coffee was smooth and much less acidic tasting that the "strong" brew I was making before. I am loving the AeroPress XL now. I've made a few poor over brews and some regular coffee maker brews since I started using the AeroPress just to contrast and compare and I like the AeroPress the most with pour over a close second. What I learned about the best brew I personally found using the AeroPress is from Lance Hedrick in his video titled “A Very Good Aeropress Recipe, Maybe the Best”. I heat the water and bloom the grinds for 30 seconds. Then I fill the AeroPress to the appropriate line and put the plunger in as directed. I then wait 2 minutes and then very slowly do the press. This simple process makes such a big difference.
