Wake Up and Coffee
-
@Sugar:
I left my Aeropress at my parents' place on the other side of the world and now I want to try this method. Hmm…
I'm going solely from memory here but is the Heart method similar to the one intended by the manufacturer (and on the side of the Aeropress box) but with a longer brew time?
Longer brew time, and by just putting the plunger back in a little in between stirs it doesn't allow much of the coffee to just run through before you press it. It also gives you specific weights for bean and water as opposed to the single scoop/fill it up to the number. I remember seeing an interview with the guy who created the aeropress and he doesn't even think you need to steep at all. I have done that and it does work out ok, but I definitely prefer it steeped.

^Yeah, the Aeropress is a good example of a piece of kit where use by those ''out in the field'' has produced a far superior outcome to that of the original concept. I'm a big fan of the inversion method, although I've been trying to improve my V60 pourover technique in the past year and that has been my go-to brewing method.

I like coffee, I know you like cofee. Take a picture of yourself with your first brew of the morning. I'm going to cheat as it is my third cup of the day (don't be me). Also, no one cares how fancy your coffee is, so no glamour shots of your latest Peruvian pick up. Just WAKE UP AND COFFEE.

Glad to see that mug in use. They discontinued the thick walled model.

That's a shame, it's a solid mug. Thanks again for it.

Agreed and you're very welcome

Snowy, I thought of you immediately when this thread came up, what with knowing what a coffee connoisseur you are. Promise you a personal mail in lieu of a Christmas card, buddy.
