Is this all from your AeroPress?
I find that a lot of the "range" I'm getting comes from obtaining beans from a variety of regions and roast levels. I can't figure out how to switch things around on the process level — but I almost always do the inverted method.
- kitotik 7y agoYes for sure all from AeroPress. So many knobs to turn. Aside from the obvious variables like quality and quantity of beans and water, the following have HUGE effects: - coarseness of the grind - water temp - bloom time - steep time - length and pressure of the extraction(the ‘press’) Checkout some award-winning recipes to get a feel for all the different techniques.
- notechback 7y agoFrom looking at some of those recipes Aeropress looks more like a cult than a way of brewing coffee. Instructions on exact seconds to wait for the water to cool or how many times to turn the spoon... I don't doubt that this influences the coffee but I doubt that any mortal human can taste the difference between s coffee stirred 3 or 4 full rounds.
