I've been writing about the Aeropress coffee maker for years, an ingenious, compact, low-cost way of brewing outstanding coffee with vastly less fuss and variation than any other method. For a decade, I've kept an Aeropress in my travel bag, even adding a collapsible silicone kettle for those hotel rooms lacking even a standard coffee-maker to heat water with.

The cheapest and easiest way I know of to make cold brew coffee is with an almond-milk bag and a water jug, but if you favor the drip method over the steeping method, you can spare yourself the expense of a fancy Kyoto dripper and just use a disposable 500ml water bottle with a pinprick in its lid, suspended over an Aeropress.

I'm staying in a hotel with nothing but paper cups in the room, and I'm not travelling with my usual suitcase in which I stash my emergency polypropelene folding cup, so I'm reduced to making my hotel coffee using the awkward hold-the-sleeve method, in which you grip the sleeve as hard as you can with your left hand while pushing down on the piston with your right, supporting the press so you don't crush the paper cup beneath.

When purchasing another one online for a colleague, I was well titillated by the shop's 28 point photo guide to the differences between a real and fake Aeropress." — Read the rest

The winning recipes from the 2012 Aeropress championships give me the fear. Clearly I have not been paying enough attention to this.

17 grams of coffee (light roasted fresh crop washed Sidamo from Heart roasters)

fine filter grind on a Mahlkönig Tanzania

paper filter rinsed with hot water

water from Maridalsvannet (brought in glass bottles from my flat in Oslo, Norway)

inverted brewing method

preheat aeropress for 10 sec

96 Celcius pour temp (gives ca 90 C actual brew temp)

260 grams of water

no stiring

50 sec steep time

20 sec press time – slow enough to get a clean brew but also some fines (yuck) and oils (yum)

stop pressing before air comes out

wait for the fines to sink and temp to cool, then pour but hold back the last part with the fines (taste sample for yourself!)

In the time-honored tradition of things being both bad for you and good for you, depending on variables, we learn today that coffee is good for you. You should be necking three servings a day of it and shimmering along on 200-300 mg of caffeine. — Read the rest

There are seven "micro roasters" in my neighborhood, but finding "coffee" can be infuriating.

I messed up again and ran out of coffee on a Saturday morning. This meant I was likely to see a giant crowd at the two closest places I could go to buy coffee beans, and it likely meant that whatever each shop considers its "breakfast blend" would be sold out. — Read the rest
