Re: [RBW] Re: Aeropress Inventor
The interesting part is that, according to my high-end coffee industry friends, the guy who invented the Aeropress is almost 100% wrong about everything he says about brewing coffee. They say all of his reasoning and explanations are totally flawed and that he doesn't understand why the Aeropress works as well as it does. I have nothing to back this up other than their sayso however. -J On Thursday, August 27, 2015 at 10:58:49 AM UTC-7, Peter Adler wrote: The mug holds 18 oz total - figure 12-14 oz of actual coffee, about like any other travel mug.

Re: [RBW] Re: Aeropress Inventor
Indeed they do, and they'll fit in a typical handlebar bracket. I like the double-wall insulated SS version particularly. The downside of the Bodum French-press mugs is that the plunger shaft isn't really long enough. This means that there's a sweet spot for grind size/dosing; if you don't get enough grounds in for the filter to pack the wetted grounds down, you don't get a full extraction, and there's a lot of liquid coffee sludge left in the mug. That takes a *lot* of grounds, which may not make for the most appealing coffee. My suspicion is that the shaft is shortened so that coffee drinkers don't poke their eyes out. I've considered taking the shaft to a machine shop to get a matching shaft made maybe 20mm longer. And drink from the side of my mouth.
