Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker
Customer Review: A good morning workout!
Summary: 3 Stars
Although I really wanted to love this product I don't. My goal was to find a product that would produce a good espresso that would eliminate the need of our Nespresso machine and the individual capsules required. Why? I wanted to reduce the cost of our morning habit and reduce landfill waste.
Although this meets the requirement of reducing landfill waste it really didn't reduce the cost of the coffee by much and didn't produce the crema I like. (I kept a tally of how many scoops I got out of a bag of Lavazza beans.) Attempting to make 4 shots of espresso (for me & my husband) with the Aerobie was more than I could ever master comfortably. It required both of my hands and all the strength I could muster (and w/o having any caffeine in my system!). However, it did provide my husband a good laugh while watching me basically hang on the thing to push it down. When dividing the task and pressing 2 shots at a time it was easier, but added more time to the morning routine, of which I never have enough of to begin with.
Thanks to other reviewers who had already played with the water temperature--175 degrees is perfect.
We are going to keep the Aerobie for our out of town travels--it will be perfect for that but will continue using our Nespresso machine for our daily fix.
Description of AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker
The AeroPress is an entirely new way to make coffee, American style or Espresso style for use in lattes, cappucinos and other espresso based drinks. AeroPress brews simply delicious coffee, 1-4 cups per pressing. Ideal water temperature and faster brewing yields rich flavor with lower acidity and without bitterness. Other brewing processes use near boiling water and long exposure to coffee grounds. Quickly brew a variety of coffee drinks including an Americano or an espresso-style shot for use in lattes or cappuccinos. Its total-immersion system permits extraction at a moderate temperature and a short brew time. Water and grounds are mixed together for 10 seconds, then gentle air pressure pushes the mix through a micro-filter in just 20 seconds, which avoids the bitterness of long processes such as drip brewing. The air pressure also gently squeezes the last goodness from the grounds, further enriching the flavor. The total brewing time of only 30 seconds results in an exceptionally smooth brew.Kitchen and Housewares
