Making Coffee With The Aeropress

http://aeropresso.com

I'm really just a coffee enthusiast... but the Aerobie Aeropress makes excellent coffee at home or in the office. I've been making a cup a day at the office for about 3 months now, and I love it.

It produces a rich, smooth cup of coffee every time, and allows a lot of ways for you to customize to taste.

Check out http://aeropresso.com for some more info and purchase options.

I've been using the Aeropress for about a year now and I couldn't agree with you more! It makes an excellent espresso shot or coffee (Americano). I also must comment on your lighting and camera- whatever it is you are using, it is outstanding! Can you pass some camera and lighting info on to a real amateur?

@jackybaby72 Thanks! Here's what I'm using:

canon 7d, sigma 30mm lens with an aperture of about 2.2, the lighting is just the hanging lights you see there top-left plus some natural lighting coming through windows.

With a good camera, a lens with a 1.8-2.4 aperture, and 24 frames per second feel, it's pretty easy to get a good vibe on camera. Good luck!

@jackybaby72 Also, you may like the videos I'm doing at @fatherapprentice, a more subdued lighting.

Nearly all black tea, the most common type of tea in Britain, absolutely requires completely boiling water to extract all of the flavor. The tannin only come when the black tea is steeped for over around five minutes, of the tea is squeezed. Green tea requires about a 150 - 175 deg C water, depending on the quality of the tea. White tea require a long steep time at about 140 - 150 deg C. Black tea does require boiling water. Know your stuff before you attempt to criticize someone.

@mikeos1 Because you being British obviously means that you must know everything about tea. Even though you really shouldn't use boiling water when making tea (Green/White teas), usually the range is from 85c-60c. Using excessively hot water will leave you with a bitter cup from a release of tannins. Sorry but apparently you Brits don't understand this. HOT, not boiling.

@psxdumy Don't see how it would work for tea (and I'm writing from th UK). Thing about tea is that you MUST use boiling water straight from the kettle. Sorry but Americans don't understand this. BOILING, not just hot.

@TinnInches Perhaps, but I doubt anyone would want to eat off it if you really knew how many other homo's hes percolated on it.

I just wish I could see that table he's leaning against in its' entirety.

Bang for buck, the aeropress is hard to beat. It's the only way I make coffee at home.

I should buy it when I'm older

I especially like your term "Aeropresso" for the coffee concentrate, which distinguishes it nicely from conventional espresso, and eliminates all quibbling...
