Best non Espresso coffee methods

I only have the original more course one at this stage when I brought the Kone. More pocket money needed to be spent ;D

Is that the .10 one BF? I've got the .08 coava disk and am loving it!! Agree that there are a lot of other methods, but the reason I love the aeropress is that it's simple and easy to use/clean (especially with the Coava disk).

Also, I have arranged a swap on some coffee hardware and should be trialling an Aeropress at work over the next couple of weeks.

Haven't tried a coava disk, I got mine (over in the UK) with a large pack of paper filters and still using those. The ease of keeping clean is a huge plus. the suggestion in the manual that you should reuse the paper filters to save the environment made me smile, but having tried it, I think that the second cup out of a filter does taste better. Might be imagination, or might be paper (bleach?) taint. It gladdens my scottish heart to save the tiny amount that a new filter costs 😃

I'm a big fan of the Clever Coffee Dripper - for ease of use, and for control over the variables (infusion times) in the brewing process Also I just really enjoy the flavour profiles that come out of this process - admittedly coffee needs to be roasted (not toasted) to suit - as coffee roasted for espresso tends to tastes ashy in this application But that's fine by me as that means either more home roasts - or tracking down suppliers who roast for this application 🙂

Opps I think I put mine under the wrong one, put it under vacuum. I use a syphon as my other type of brewer, I love the clarity and cleanness it brings to a coffee.

Why has the humble Perc only recieved 1 vote ? Am I all alone in this world........ ???

i think most peoples' experience of percolator is perc'ed coffee that's boiled to within an inch of it's life... dR 🙁

Vacuum, Siphon, Syphon any of those will do 🙂

Oh mycuppa, really!!! Well I think that you would have to be the right person to get the best out of a peculator. My OH has one at work and they hate it, they keep thinking about mods they can do to make it better, lucky for them we now have the new machine (still not here, hopefully tomorrow) and they'll get the old breville, it's got to be better than trying to mod the peculator 🙂 Thanks bf, good I did put it in the right place 🙂

The postman just delivered my Aeropress (cheers Tango) and a Coava disk so I will be giving it a trial after lunch 😃 Time to find out how bad the percolator really is...

So far my trials with the Aeropress have me wondering why I used a perc for so long. My Breville perc is being retired and given to a workmate to take home if he wants it there - my guess is he will keep it at work for his dailly coffee needs. I've expiremented with a few ways of making my brew with the areo and so far all offer a better output than the perc I had come to know so well. I'm glad I started the thread or I would never have known... Thank you all 😃

I am yet to take the leap because I only drink non-espresso at work and the plunger allows me to share. Reading this makes me sooooooo tempted to try it out!

Voted Aeropress however would be lucky to use it twice a year, my preference is for espresso every time. 😉

This I fear would be my scenario. The first shot every 6 months would be 96% dust, or as we call it where I come from: Nespresso! ;D

Walked into that one with my eyes wide open didn't I? ;D :🙂 😃

Must pull my Aeropress out for some more playing with the disc filter. Only used it 5 or 6 times when I got the disc. Given the range of manual toys at my fingertips I still find myself reaching for the Syphon most mornings. Poor litle Pavoni is the neglected one out of this must have been 6 weeks since I last used it 😢 Toys us big kids must have toys ;D

Great, now I need to try a syphon too.... and yes we must have toys On a side note with the aeropress, I have noticed the coava disk needs a thorough cleaning after each use as grinds are getting lodged in the holes. I'm probably using to fine a grind or maybe this just the way the coava is... anyone else having this prob?

beanflying

What grinder are you using on the Aeropress Muscles? Could be a problem with a particle size spread?
