My standard morning coffee is made in my AeroPress. Start with the piston in the press as far out as possible without leaking, place one full scoop of grounds, usually dark roast or espresso roast, then fill to the top (bottom) with ~150 degree water (just as hot as possible from our tap) and let steep for ~5 minutes. Then either put the stainless reusable filter or one of the paper ones on the strainer and press and flip the whole thing over onto your cup and press down.
I typically favor french or dark roasts but I also like chicory blends and occassionally dabble in Ethiopian beans.
The AeroPress is pretty good! Very portable, so that was my daily thing when I had to work in an office.
At home I have a small Chemex, which is basically a nicely designed pour over with a complicated filter. I like it a little better than the Aero and it's a bit less fussy.
If I'm on the road, Casey's is my go to. I think I just like their machines.
Casey's cappuccino or whatever they call it is basically a shot of pure sugar & caffeine... so yeah me too:-).
Road coffee I like the LaColombe triples in the can.
Ah, I never tried those, but it seems that I should, next time I see one those.:-)
5 minutes, wow - I'm used to more 1-2 minute black teas so that surprises me. TIL that coffee needs more time - probably it's putting in more love. 💕
I'm not timing it, its bacially however long it takes to make my breakfast before heading out. I think it helps with the lower temp water I use but who knows.
Ah, gotcha:-).
