I've been experimenting with a portable coffee setup. It's currently an Aeropress, a Porlex Mini Stainless Steel grinder, a thermometer, and a small scale. I'm experimenting to decide on the ideal type of filter - currently comparing paper vs. a couple different metal filters.
- holograham 13y agoive tried metal -- hasnt done it for me. Also what "small scale" are you using?
- philip1209 13y agoI'm using this scale: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SC3LLS/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SC3LLS/ref=oh_details_o... I have a finer mesh filter inbound that I'm told is closer to paper in taste.
- WiseWeasel 13y agoIf portability is valued, why bother with a scale? I love this Able stainless steel filter for Aeropress: http://ablebrewing.com/products/disk-coffee-filter http://ablebrewing.com/products/disk-coffee-filter The difference in flavor from a paper filter is very noticeable and hugely appreciated.
- philip1209 13y agoOne of the fundamentals of good coffee is a proper ratio. I think it's worth the extra space. I just received that filter - I liked it, but I had to drastically change my grind size, and the resulting coffee didn't have the body that I associate with Aeropresses. I talked to the Able Brewing folks, and now I have one of the Disk Fine filters inbound that supposedly behaves more like a paper filter.
