I’m pet sure this will be my next gear purchase. I do have a v60 but made the mistake of getting the ceramic version which saps heat way more then a plastic version.

How does it brew compared to a normal v60?

Playing outer wilds for the first time. I’m kinda stuck but I don’t want to look up a guide in case I see spoilers!

So good isn’t it? I did buy a few Burgeon tools after watching for a while! If money was no object I’d have all of them.

Kmag has definitely been underperforming but I really think Haas need a stable pair for a couple of years at least to help develop the car.

Madness that we don’t! It would also be cool if they got the D2S treatment to really promote it.

Same here, no sense wasting good beans so may as well blend when you don’t have enough for a full brew.

It was between £10-£12 per 250g bag which for the UK isn’t the worst I’ve seen but still petty pricy. I still think that’s fairly reasonable for single origin responsibly sourced coffee. I’ll use 22g per cup so it’s roughly £1 per cup.

Next time I’m going to give Limini coffee a go, they’re another local roaster to me but their single origin 250g bags start at about £7.50.

The most I’ve spent is around £22 for 250g for some square mile Kenyan stuff which was fun for a one off but definitely not an every day kind of coffee!

I usually have a couple Asda ES columbian bags on hand and they’re 2x250g for £5.50. Definitely not amazing coffee by any stretch but I can’t splash out all the time 😂

I do too! As a bonus they’re paper with no plastic so really easy to recycle!

I think you’ll have a great time! Check out this for a great starting recipe: https://youtu.be/j6VlT_jUVPc

Also in the pic the scales are set to timer so I know to press when it hits the 2min mark.

Exactly this! Maybe not completely necessary in an aeropress vs something like a V60. Also used to weigh the beans before and after the grind to make sure it’s consistent :)

Can’t go too far wrong with the AP!

I completely agree, when the beans were super fresh it was a really unique taste that has become nicer (more muted) as the beans age a little.

I usually do go for the inverted method and do prefer it too!

I did try their decaf blend which was ok. Not as good as full fledged but a good option for me when I fancy an afternoon coffee.

I do rate them but you are right they are definitely more expensive than other options. I don’t mind so much when it’s a more out there type as they do seem to support the growers. They do have redbrick which is a decent espresso blend for around £13 a bag.

Totally with you! I still love my v60 but haven’t really nailed my moka pot technique.
