Love my Aeropress, and I am comfortable with the fact that it can never make a real espresso - no way it can produce the required 7 to 15 bar pressure, so why bother? Despite that, you can make so many delicious drinks if you enjoy it for what it is.
I use my aeropress with 'fellow prismo' extension and also with paper filter. This approach allows to avoid some particles of coffee and also I can use a bit more pressure and can get a bit more intensive beverage. Last time I use next recepie: 18g of coffee, chestnut c2 with 12 cliks, 90ml of about 92 celsius water, 2 minutes + about 25 seconds of pressure, mix with 150ml of hot (~60 celsius) 3.5% milk.
@@redpanda2657 как отправная точка. Дальше по вкусу. Сейчас это 15 кликов. Подходит для Кении: Кения Кабаре(Submarine), Кения маунт(Tasty coffee). Батч брю можно по тому же рецепту, но с добавлением молока вместо добавления воды.
I get great results with the aeropress und the prismo with an Extra Aeropress Paper Filter on the metal Filter. This way you get a better texture und a bit more Pressure. Sweetness on my medium roast coffees is nice. Pretty often, depending on the Coffee, i get up to 1cm Crema in my Cup!
It's possible to use the Joepresso with a unpressurized basket, IMS makes a fitting one for the Dedica. Then you can put a paper filter in the bottom, a paper filter on top of the puck, and use the filter that came with the Prismo as a shower screen to prevent water disturbing the puck when your pour it in. This works well for making high extraction, bloomed turbo shots at a 1:3 ratio, as well as for imitating scott raos "filter 2.0" at a 1:5 ratio. You press until you get drips out the bottom, let it bloom, and then press the remaining water through at an appropriate rate for whatever you're doing. On the espresso aficionados discord we independently rediscovered/reinvented the Joepresso with this procedure in mind, mostly for the filter2.0, using a 51mm IMS basket made for La Pavoni machines. One of the keys to success with the Joepresso in any case is ditching their top screen, replacing it with a top paper, and using the Prismo top screen as both seal and shower screen.
I rate the prismo as a travel accessory. It makes the aeropress much more tolerant of grind, as you can get a more ‘full’ flavour out of most coffees. I no longer carry a grinder when travelling, and just get coffee ground by a local shop. I am exclusively espresso at home, so I am looking for a more robust drink on the road, and the prismo is a simple and compact accessory that helps with this. It doesn’t make espresso, but it does make a great drink without needing extra equipment and fuss.
The great thing about the prismo is that it's reusable because it has a metal filter! If you want a metal filter just get the prismo! I use it all the time with my standard aeropress recipe.
Or you could just buy a metal filter for like $4. I still prefer the paper filter as it doesn’t let fines through the filter screen and causes the brew to get muddy
I’ve been using my Aeropress for years. I had to buy new rubber end due to wear, the printing has been gone for several years, but it still makes great coffee. I’ve tried many methods and Aeropress just does the job and it’s easy to clean.
I was using Aeropress with metal filter, I made puck on it and cover it with paper filter to protect it from water poured over it. It had quite bit of resistance, sometimes it was almost not possible to press water through it and I had bit of crema. I think result was similar to prismo. Then I switched to nanopresso that had much better results and now to kompresso, that is even better
Never tried to make an espresso with the Aeropress until watch this. Although I am not using any additional accessories I really enjoyed the results... Amazing content !!! Thank you for sharing ;-)
you CAN rest the plunger on top of Aeropress when using Prismo, so heat does not escape. The key is place the plunger, don't insert it. Do this everyday.
There's a much better way to get way more pressure out of the aero press. You put the espresso in normally, and tamper it, then put a filter on top and tamper a bit again. Put water, put the plunger in and pull it up slightly. This traps all the pressure in the chamber, when you go to press you need to apply a ton of pressure to get it out. Makes a way better espresso!
I actually tried another recipe with non inverted method but tampered. I was able to achieve much higher pressure so it tasted much more like esspresso than your inverted method
Thanks for the brilliant introduction. I love the kind of honesty you bring to the joepresso because the joepresso is with no doubt the best way of these three aeropress adapters to make a espresso like coffee with a crema that just stays in the cup after you have finished the espresso. I ve got the joepresso v2 and the new aeropress filtercap and there is no way it could stand against the joepresso in terms of making espresso style coffee. Thanks again for the honesty you bring here in contrast to most of the comparison Videos I found on RU-vid.
Great video! I love my AeroPress, and like you usually dilute to Americano. I have been toying with getting a dedicated espresso maker, but it is a luxury and takes up space for my kitchen at work. I think the Joepresso could be a good mimic.
I've bought a metal filter for my aeropress, because I love the oily and bold sensation from the coffee. But, after I spend some cup with the metal filter, i think the best way to make a coffee with aeropress is with what Alan Adler's way.
I also use a metal filter when I want that more oily and thicker taste, it is closer to espresso taste than the paper filter. So I switch back and forth depending on what I feel like.
Using this technique it's possible to get your coffee fix, and take the money you would normally spend at a coffee house and put it aside to purchase a homebrew espresso device. If someone is buying espresso drinks 5x a week, spending $5 to $6 a pop (plus tip), In a few months you'll have enough for something like the robot or another similar manual espresso device. Those do deliver the required 6-9 bars of pressure and start you on an espresso journey like no other.
Somewherr saw a big wooden lever rig that presumed creates much more pressure on an Aeropress. But seems like would also need some sorta filtar cap aftarmarket attachment like JoePresso or Prismo to restrict watar in ordar to get true espresso 9 bar. Ideely such an attachment would would allow dialling in a varable restriction. If such exists, haven't seen one, me.
I've gotten to the point where I like the AeroPress for cafe au lait. It just can't replace a real espresso machine, and IMO loses its charms when I try it for that.
I like how you pronounce ceramic how it is spelled, and my USA brain protests if ceramic pronounced with a sharp c, and not an s sound. I literally flinch when you pronounce it correct!
May I suggest stop using pretty cups and use something with a good base for the Aeropress? Being clumsy myself I like not having hot water all over me.
Aeropress is more comparable to pour over (using not inverted method) or French press coffee. The push through a filter is not really doing anything in regards to creating an espresso crema. The pressure is far too low to force out those oils
Yes, just put the paper on top of the metal filter before you screw it on the aeropress chamber. And remember to take the metal filter out to clean it regularly, coffee can accumulate on it and go rancid!
But can't the "knob" on the joepresso's "tamper" ruin the soft part of the plunger? Does the plunger press directly on the tiny knob, which then presses the whole puck? That seems unbalanced.
Yes, you can check it at instagram.com/bikehikebrew (based in Australia). I heard there are some people in the UK too but I don’t know the name. You may try to ask AeroPress on IG; they may know.
