Aw I have the same cup!

I will admit, washing it kinda sucks lol

[–] moosh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (7 children)

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

[–] reverie@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

eh? I must be too dishwasher to get the joke.

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.

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.

How do people like aeropresses overall?

[–] moosh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Dunno but I love mine!

[–] oatmilkmaid@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Love mine. Especially for cleanup and time it takes to brew. Very happy with it. I have a French Press and a ceramic filter I use once in a while, but if it’s just me the aero press wins over.

[–] lessthanthree@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same reasons why I ditched my French Press. Moka Pot can be messy and seems like a more involved process. Aeropress is such an easier and cleaner process.

They're amazing honestly. Extra good for travel.

[–] ClassyDave@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly I love mine, it's cheap, easy, and there are many variations of the brewing method you can use to suit your tastes.

Only downside is that it makes ones cup at a time if that matters to you.

I mean, you can make 4 cups at a time if you use the OG instructions instead of the French press type methods.

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

[–] moosh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I have! although I prefer the plunger/suction method. 95% of the water stays in and I don't have to bother with flipping it!

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.

[–] mifilmi@lemmy.my.id 2 points 2 years ago

I usually grind a little bit coarse, hence using the conventional method will drain my water fast. That's why inverted is a suitable method for me.

But, if you prefer finer ground, then I suggest conventional upright method.

That's the beauty of Aeropress, you can modify your brewing method to suits your needs.

How often do you use your aero? I have one but I pretty much stopped using it once I got my v60. Does it have any advantages in brew or anything?

[–] moosh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Multiple times a day! I like it because it's quick to brew, makes a clean, tasty cup of coffee, and very little to clean up when I'm done. Haven't really looked into a Hario or pour over too much but I've been fairly happy with my aeropress. IMO it's like a French press and gives a nice full-body brew but without the oil or fines in the bottom of the cup.

How do people like aeropresses over all?

I've heard the name, but don't know anything about it.

What is it, and what does it do?

What an nifty cup!

I might do the same, the drip coffee I make (primarily for my wife who prefers quantity over quality) does not scratch the itch like the aeropress does.
