Can AeroPress make good espresso?
Only an espresso machine will do what an espresso machine can do. But for the price, portability, and flex, nothing beats aeropress coffee makers for great coffee.

Medium and dark roasted coffees with balanced acidity and the entire body work better with espresso machines than aeropress. So, when choosing coffee for your aeropress, aim for something that may say lightly roasted, medium roasted, bright and complex.AeroPress recommends a super fine grind—almost as fine as you would use with espresso. Paired with a short brew time, this kind of grind works best. Yet, for variations that involve a longer immersion, we’ll need to go coarser. Medium-fine to medium-coarse is standard.Method #1: The AeroPress With the word “press” in its name, the AeroPress is an ideal candidate for approximating espresso. Though the texture may differ from what you’ll get with a fancy machine, the flavor and caffeine content of an AeroPress “espresso” impressively match the machine espresso.The AeroPress is a superb one-cup brewer which uses high pressure extraction to brew an incredible cup of coffee. This means you can brew with coffee roasted for espresso, as well as filter.

What is the TDS of AeroPress espresso?
Our target TDS is 1. We recommend the Aeropress for trying many coffees and styles of coffee, and its forgivability in regards to TDS and EY without becoming difficult to drink. Thankfully, coffee experts around the world have figured out a tried-and-true, gold standard ratio: 1:17. It stands for 1 gram of coffee for every 17 grams of water. If you want a “stronger” cup of coffee, adding more coffee beans may not actually help. Instead, opt for a darker roast for more full-bodied flavor.For truly top coffee, we recommend a golden ratio of 1:16. This means that you need 16ml of water for each gram of coffee. Your AeroPress takes 240ml of water, which means you want to use 15g of medium-fine ground coffee for one lovely cup (240÷16=15).
