I don't like the stock aeropress recipe. I too found it wasn't very consistent and sometimes gave wildly different results. I've found James Hoffman's aeropress technique to be fantastic though and much more repeatable--give it a shot: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j6VlT_jUVPc https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j6VlT_jUVPc
The big difference with James' technique is that it spends more time immersion brewing, almost like a french press, vs the stock technique that's really rushing you to extract and then percolate with the push. I find the longer immersion brew is a lot more forgiving and repeatable as a technique.
- dws 4y agoOne nit. Hoffman says you don't need to pre-rinse the filter. Try that into a cup, then sip the result.
- Godel_unicode 4y agoGet someone to do both and blind taste them, he’s right.
- cmurf 4y agoYeah as I've discovered, making it more like a French press makes it better. So why not just use a French press? It's much less complicated. My first week with aeropress, a majority of the attempts were dogshit. More dogshit coffee in one week than in 10 years with French press. And really only one way to fuck it up in French press. Forget it on the counter (10+ minutes). There's more ways to fuck up aeropress than I can count. I admit I can usually only count to ten.
