Coffee

do you gsuy prefer a French press or aeropress. Aeropress seems easier to clean up but doesn't make very much.

[Anonymous No.15848232]

Aeropress any fucking day. Way easier to control. And I'm fine with a single cup anyway otherwise I start to tweak.

I've used French press and it's ok but I kept getting grains slipping through into my coffee despite having the right kind of blend. I switched to a Hario

Nespresso + 1 capsule of ristretto 2-3 times a day is all I need

I like the Aeropress because I can clean it to being SPOTLESS pretty quick
I nearly don't care about any supposed difference in flavor
A lot of french presses are kind of screwed together and doing a full clean between all the screw threads and shit takes a long fucking time
idk do most people just let the coffee gather on their machines?

>I like the Aeropress because I can clean it to being SPOTLESS pretty quick
this most of all. that and I wasn't a real coffeedrinker when I first tried the aeropress, and following the instructions made a palatable, flavorful cup, not anything burnt or bitter. If you want to make more servings you just use more grounds in the press and dilute to the same ratio. it's a brainless, analog product, pretty useful little tool for a single home.

I get sludge at the bottom of either. I've tried different recipes and beans/brands and there's always sludge. French press tastes more full bodied than aeropress though

Hello sirs I hope you greatly enjoy the Aeropress™ for coffees. God bless

[Anonymous No.15848599]

if you want a french press just get an immersion dripper. Cleaning french presses is annoying.

I like the thing because it's good for camping
I bought the thing with the metal filter to use as a form for cutting new filters out of whatever filter size I want
That and a hand grinder let me turn beans to coffee anytime without special equipment or electricity

What would you prefer I use instead?

I hated the thing. Hard to clean when camping compared to a glass press, too bulky for backpacking compared to a folding drip filter. To many dumb accessories. Stirrer, some kind of funnel, paper filter holder wtf. You have to press down too hard to make the coffee.

i think aeropress is I think a lot easier. French presses are hard to clean and you can't bring it with you. You can take an aeropress with you camping no problem and it's almost as efficient as instant coffee

Beans ground too fine, or you're using a food processor type grinder and creating powder

[Anonymous No.15849685]

You guys actually disassemble your french press to clean it? I just rinse it off and dump the grounds down the garbage disposal. Use the kitchen sink sprayer on the mesh piece to get the grounds out. Honestly, I don't even wash it, I rinse it our, dry it off and it's ready to go again. Much easier to clean than somethi8ng like a Moka Poot.

I drink coffee brewed in lots of different ways for some variety. Turkish coffee or just flat out pouring hot water into a cup, pour over, dripper, french press, espresso machine and recently I'd got myself aeropress. Maybe it's the novelty but I'm really enjoying it so far, only issue is it takes a while to prepare.

French press upfront is very quick to make, just gotta clean it up later, and since I've got a huge one I basically use it for coffee only when I need a big batch quickly and can't be fucked to spend any time preparing it. Taste-wise aeropress wins. French press is worth having anyway though, it's cool for yerba mate, rooibos and other stuff.

start at the coarsest setting your grinder has and adjust according to taste.

V60 is the best but aeropress is acceptable. French press is literally the worst way to make coffee.

[Anonymous No.15851117]

>>15851046
I used my french press for the first time in months after exclusively doing pour-over, and I will never do it again. I don't see any justification for using a french press when you can buy a v60 for almost the same price and get a significantly better cup of coffee out of it.

I have both, but I use my Aeropress because, like you say, it's easier to clean.

With the French Press I find that it tastes like stale coffee next time unless I wash it out fully with soap and water.

With the Aeropress I can just rinse it out after each use and it seems to be fine for the next use.

So I use the Aeropress and just rinse it after each use.

Yes
Still good though.
In fact, most competition-style aeropress recipes involve deliberately using high mass of course grounds with little water, then diluting it.

[Anonymous No.15851406]

I only have an aeropress but I'm not very good at using it. Coffee will come out sour, or bitter, or burnt (the latter is probably just too dark a roast for my taste). I kinda feel like I enjoyed coffee more with just a v60.

[Anonymous No.15851506]

I have both at work but I almost always use the Aeropress. It’s just much easier to clean. Quicker as well, I don’t do the inverse bullshit.
I have to use a decanter when using French press so the coffee dust settles on the bottom. It brews fuller cup of coffee, it kinda gives me rustic vibes.

This is because aeropress is a plastic toy and the dumbest way to make coffee, so in real world coffee competitions it is never used.

They produce completely different kinds of coffee.
Aeropress is ideal if you want something like an espresso at home without investing in a big machine, similar to a Moka pot.
A French Press is basically a glorified tea pot for it you like your coffee piss weak.

Cafetière means basically any type of coffee maker though, it could also used to designated a moka pot, an electric drip-brew machine or a Turkish coffee pot.
Btw the French press is arguably more Italian than French, just like fries are more of a Belgian invention.

[Anonymous No.15853888]

>>15850540
If your grinder doesn't have a setting, just count in your head to about 6 seconds and it should be fine. For drip coffee, about 12 seconds. I'm sure there are guides to this online. Some bags of whole bean coffee will actually have instructions about this on the side of them.
