What is the criticism of AeroPress?
Cost: It’s significantly more expensive than the AeroPress Original. For the price, I’d like to have seen a steel filter included, so you can save on buying paper filters. Capacity: If you’re brewing for more than one, you may need a larger French press. AeroPress. An AeroPress is a versatile brewing device that uses pressure to create a clean, flavorful cup of coffee without a paper filter.The Aeropress always ships with paper filters. These filters produce coffee that’s crisper, brighter, and cleaner than that of the french press filter. Sadly, the natural oils and micro-ground – which give off tons of flavor – aren’t allowed into the final mug.This recipe quite literally inverts the AeroPress, so no water drips through the filter until you’re ready. You’ll get a slightly different flavour because this leaves more water during the immersion stage of the brew, before pressure forces the water through the coffee grounds and filter.
Does AeroPress wear out?
The AeroPress seal does eventually wear down over time. To maximize seal life, always eject the used coffee right after brewing and store your AeroPress coffee maker with the seal pushed all the way through the chamber. This keeps the seal free of compression for longer seal life. After making hundreds or even thousands of cups of coffee, the silicone plunger on the AeroPress can become a little compressed or worn , allowing some air leakage around the edges. Replacing the silicone seal will fix the problem and it is easy to replace.It is very important to stop pressing when (or right before) the water is out of the AeroPress. If you hear a hissing noise, or if you can visually tell that it is at the end (as shown), you should stop pressing. Continuing past this point would squeeze bitterness out of the coffee grounds.
