I am sure it's much better that that brewed beans crap you all think is good :p
Cheers.

I just had a read of that...Orion wrote:This guy actually built a lever press for his Aeropress so he could achieve a higher pressure.
Effectively he is using his AeroPress as a plunger (even with the built in lever), and had venting problems (grinds forcing past the plunger, as happens with plunger coffee sometimes) when trying espresso style shots.Also, the AeroPress vents grounds out the side of the filter holder at the higher pressures. I will stick with the mix and press method. I think it makes a more interesting cup of coffee.

Or is coffee weird when you grind it and what ever you do wont keep it fresh as the day it was grinded ??
Cheers.

That's what I do with an Aeropress at home. The boiling water and cold coffee grounds mix together quickly dropping the temperature below 92°C. There is an instant when the first part of the too-hot water hits the first fraction of grounds which might have a negative effect on the taste. But it is such a short transient thing that my guess is it is less of a problem than the fact that brewing temperature starts low and then drops further during the holding time.
Where I usually walk the elevation is such that boiling point is less than 92°C. In those circumstances, strange as it seems, it makes perfect sense to boil the coffee cowboy style for a minute or two and then filter it.

photohiker wrote:Adam, when he says "the AeroPress vents grounds out the side of the filter holder at the higher pressures" he is talking about the filter holder, not the plunger. The plunger is like a big syringe washer, I don't think grounds will be venting past that at any sane pressure. I think what is possibly happening is that the filter holder distorts under high pressure and the seal between the filter holder and the body is broken, allowing mixture to escape out the side of the holder, not passing through the filter.
