My approach almost exactly matches Tony's method. In outdoor conditions everything is more by feel/habit than by measurement or time. AeroPress seems very forgiving to me.

[RBW] Re: aghast by Rivendells aeropressing technique.
I received my Aeropress today and immediately brewed up a cup of coffee by the Aeropress instructions. The result was a very bitter cup of coffee. :( I poured that one down the drain and tried the inverted method with one scoop of coffee, a 10-second stir and a 50 second steep time, all precisely controlled by my one-one thousandtwo-one thousand..three-one thousand. The result was a good cup of coffee, on par with the best cups I occasionally luck out and get from my drip machine and my French press. I was surprised by how little coffee it produced. The Riv video looked like it made twice as much coffee. Are there two sizes of Aeropress? I guess the next step is to play around with grind. I just used the same grind I use for my drip machine. I'll tighten it up for a finer grind next time.

The inverted method works great, until the silicon seal loosens enough to be a problem. I grind directly into the Aeropress, and shifted to the standard brewing method after a few dumps of grounds on the floor. Play with all methods. I got to where I couldn't' distinguish between standard and inverted. I use a very fine grind, so I can barely press it down, and my brew is ten seconds including a three second stir. Then I add water to taste and it's fantastic! With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: aghast by Rivendells aeropressing technique.
Before the Aero, I used to make drip coffee with Melita plastic cone and paper filter that fit the cone. Made good coffee that way for years. Even after 2 cups in the morning, I would occasionally like to treat myself to some stronger rocket fuel from our local Peet's. I still make my coffee with the same house brand French Roast from Costco that I have been buying forever, but with the great taste of Aeropressed coffee, I almost never crave an ooh la la from someplace else. I think the many youtube vids about the right way to do Aeropress coffee are actually quite funny, cause I think it is challenging to screw it up.

[RBW] Re: aghast by Rivendells aeropressing technique.
the aeropress makes any coffee taste good. got one for my birthday last year and haven't used anything since. the only problem is, in my experience, it uses much more coffee than I would normally use for pour over. but taste is everything, makes cheap coffee taste like expensive coffee so in the end it's worth it.

Forgot to mention those used coffee grounds are great for composting and flower beds. I also reuse my filter for the aeropress about 3 or 4 times before throwing in compost pile. If I go beyond that I have had the filter fail and dump grounds into cup then I have to get my tea strainer to filter them out.

I have also been using an aeropress for about a year now really like it. I grind whole beans right before adding them into the aeropress. Some mornings smelling the aroma of fresh ground beans is almost as good as the coffee, but not quite. For me the wonderful aroma does add to the enjoyment. I need to get it together and try riding out somewhere to brew some coffee on the trail like I have read of some of you folks have done.

[RBW] Re: aghast by Rivendells aeropressing technique.
I am with Manny. Not sure where that leaves me as far as the battle lines are concerned, but INVERTED AEROPRESS IS THE ONLY WAY TO AEROPRESS (!) For the record, I use the inverted aeropress brew method on all of our early-morning coffee rides in Portland, and have never scalded myself or broken a table or had any other catastrophes. I think Aeropress is pretty much perfect as far as a brewing method for being on the road (whether by bike or otherwise) is concerned. It's a very forgiving method of brewing coffee, which means, to me, you can get a decent cup even if your beans to water ratio, water temperature, or brew time is a bit off. I find if any of those things are off using pour over methods I end up with bitter, bright cups of coffee. Two pro-tips: 1. If you are pressing down on the aeropress and it's giving you crazy resistance, your grind is too fine, next time make it a little bit coarser until you get it dialed into a place where you are giving moderate pressure and able to move the plunger downward. 2. This thing is pretty sweet: http://ablebrewing.com/collections/products/#travel-cap-for-aeropress. You can put beans and filters (or whatever you'd like) in the cylinder of the aeropress, which is handy for bike ridin. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Inverted is all there is. Get the Coava Coffee stainless disc and it's even better. Then again - I like a nice pourover at 202 degrees F using 20.5g coffee with 340g water. 30 second bloom with 60g water. Use a natural bean and it's heaven. Sweet, smooth and delicious. Mmmm coffee.

H, that's an interesting idea. How long do items like the cloves, pods, cinnamon need to steep normally. I love my aeropress and don't leave home without it.
