You don't make coffee in a teapot you fucking mongol, but yes they both involve submerging.
Submerging the coffee grounds instead of running hot water through them steeps them like you would steep tea.
If you want to define a classic tool like a teapot or french press as "basic", then you're an abnormal faggot.
Aeropress is just a fad for s*yboys and Moka is a meme that burns the shit out of your coffee.
Just look at this faggot try to explain how to use an Aeropress. This is who this was designed for:

If you want a cheap, entry level grinder, then look into the ones you crank by hand. Otherwise a good burr grinder that's electric is gonna cost you at least +$100.
Don't get an "entry level" electric burr grinder that's $50, doesn't grind uniformly, and will just break in a year. It's a waste of money.
Get a hand grinder then splurge on a more expensive grinder when you notice the difference in your coffee and can see yourself using it regularly.

no they don't at all.
in a french press, the coffee steeps in hot water, and then the 'press' strains out the coffee. there is no pressure involved. it's just coffee brewed in water, like a tea.
in an aeropress, the coffee steeps only for 30 seconds or so, and then the rest is pressure. less than a real espresso machine, but it produces a similar result.
>>11661465
it is exactly like a teapot you pleb. it's a container that you fill with water and brew things in. the 'press' part is nothing but a built in strainer.

whereas a french press uses zero pressure, so it isn't comparable with the aeropress at all, which was my entire point.

hmm... not sure it's worth spending £25 (same cost as the actual aeropress) just to 'negate the need for an inverted style' if the end result is more or less the same.
i've no complaints about the aeropress when it comes to flavour anyway. the only thing it lacks is a proper crema like a real espresso.

you can buy a steel one for $5 or less, and the paper ones you get 350 for free, which you can use like twice each, so for 700 coffees, and you can buy another 350 for less than $5 , so you have to spend $5 each 700 coffees, which seems acceptable to me

the difference in flavour between french press and aerepress is huge, and that is down to the pressure, as little as it is.
brew some coffee in a french press for 30 seconds and see how it tastes without that added pressure an aeropress delivers.
and as i said in another post, the crema is really the only thing lacking about the aeropress, but a french press doesn't give you one either, so it's a moot point.

i prefer the Aeropress too, but i am skeptical about how much of it is the pressure (i'm thinking not much), and how much of it is that with the Aeropress it's easier to control the time of contact, the temperature being probably lower, and the filtering being better

[Anonymous No.11665481]

can some science anon explain to me,
if the aeropress generates '.35 to .75 bars of pressure', and earth atmosphere is a little over 1 bar, does that mean the pressure inside the aeropress is around 1.35 to 1.75? or am i being stupid?

This is the holy grail of instant coffees.
I drink a lot of this stuff, and the cheap discounter knockoffs or Nescafe do not even come close.
Heck, Nescafe is supposed to be the number one brand, yet their quality control is utter garbage. Tastes different every time you buy a new glass full. Do not even get me started how it is a lot different in other countries. I have tried Russian Nescafe and it is an absolute abomination. Brought the rest of it back home, and even with the softer water that I am used to, it still tasted like a mixture of dishsoap and copper.

Now pic related is something that is actually drinkable. You get a pretty good coffee and the convenience of it being instant coffee. Makes it a winner in my book.
