"So ah, the Joe Presso, a little suspect logo" - LMAO!

Thank you for cranking out the great content. Years ago I read through that crazy long thread on one of the coffee forums regarding the aeropress where the inventor kept claiming he was getting crema and that it was espresso (they finally kicked him off). I can't believe how hard you had to push for the extraction to get a decent reading. Kudos to you for trying this "hack" and actually getting what I would consider a real shot out of that setup. Keep up the great work!

Awesome content as always sir Lance! Finally getting some more manual/portable espresso reviews. Would love to see a showdown between the Joepresso, Nano/Picopresso, Cafflano Kompresso, and maybe a Flair classic.

I guess the metal screen you inserted is the culprit for allowing water to spill out while pressing. I did cut the outer circle of the same metal filter you used, so it fits inside the basket, instead of on top, this seals it totally off. It withstands 3 bar when using my whole body weight and even 9 bar of pressure when using my Co2 Aeropress mod.

Lance you are a rock star. We are waiting for each new video to see your personality delivering us coffee stuff... but the show....the show is what drives us back.

Love your videos. I have learned so much about coffee and really appreciate all you do.

What great timing! My friend and I were just discussing implementing more Aeropress coffees at the café.

I appreciate the inventiveness in this informative video. I really appreciate your coffee commitment, Lance. Searching for that perfect 👌 cup is a real trip. Trying many brewing methods leaves the problem of keeping multiple things organized. 58mm on down baskets and matching parts is tough for me, LOL.

I just picked up the Joepresso V2 with the non-pressurized basket for something like the 2.0 & it’s been great.

That’s a lot of work for a single cup of anything. Fun as always and thanks for putting the work in.

Once again a great video. Not something I am looking for (too much coffee equipment I don't use) but nice to see the review. Also more beat boxing. Just say'n

This is a great option and about as close as i am gonna get while out backpacking in the woods. Especially for this price point. Alot of people complain that its not the best or this or that, but aeropress literally made the GO because they knew they had a big market for camping and backpacking.

the 'coffee miracle" video by that really sarcastic dude is my favorite aeropresso recipe so far. trim two filters so they fit inside the tube. 18g espresso ground coffee in the basket, then the two paper filters on top, then 55g hot water and press for around 1 minute and a half. its good and kinda foamy

You’re the best Lance!

just found your channel! great content! commenting to bump the vid

Thanks so much for the review @Lance! Glad to see you measured the TDS and liked the taste I have a few comments and clarifications, not to change anyone's mind but to help get a better shot if nothing else. 1. Joepresso comes with a pressurised basket, the non pressurised baskets are available separately. You get more crema with a pressurised basket. 2. Water leakage you are seeing is because you're using the aftermarket screen on top of the gasket. You can also use a paper filter under the provided shower screen or instead of the one you used. 3. Shower screen is mainly used to keep the grinds in place, not to disperse the water. In an espresso machine water is coming from a thin pipe, here the AeroPress provides an even water column. If we don't use anything to keep the grinds confined to the basket you'll get immersion brewing instead of perculation.

Great video. 👍🏻 Thank you, Lance. 🙏🏻

I used the Joepresso, it's OK, but my recipe below is better and the workflow about 3 times faster! My recipe; - Aeropress with Aeropress pressure/espresso head , metal filter and paper filter (under metal) - 15gms Kirkland espresso coffee very finely ground (conical burr) - load coffee and tamp down hard (I use a SS Sauerkraut/Kimchee Pounder Tamper that fits the Aeropress) - use 45gms water at 205F - pour water and start pressing immediately, push hard and when pressure breaks an even push all the way to the bottom That's it, makes a fabulous shot, add water to make a Aerocono to taste or milk for latte. it is not bitter and has a velvet like feel that has a butter flavor, yep butter, that's how I taste it. Note(s) - this takes a lot of force, if you use more coffee it might be impossible to push. - fine grinds go through the metal filter, the paper fixes this and the metal keeps the paper in the basket, I use the paper for ~6-8 shots before replacing. - this leaves a dry hard puck that just pops out in the trash.

@1:04 I wish the technical name for the baskets would be: Deep boy, Shallow boy, and Pressurized boy... lol As always, great stuff, Lance! I appreciate your candidness at the beginning regarding the puck screen. On that note, I've seen an increasing amount of puck screens make their way into videos, obviously stemming from Flair using them. Has someone done the research or is there research about the effectiveness of those screens across the spectrum on espresso machines? I have found them to be helpful at times, but are they one the level of being a tool that would be added to your "3 tools to improve your espresso?" Just curious 🤷🏼‍♂ Once again, thanks for the top-notch content!

My JoePresso came with only pressurized basket. Additionally, their shower screen is kind of useless. With those things I mostly have a hard time to make a perfect cup of espresso. So I ordered a 51mm non pressurized basket, a mesh puck screen and a real tamper. Now this set become my go to for my everyday iced latte. I didn't turn on my espresso machine for a month now hahaha.

I got a Joepresso as one of the first few hundred backers, but wasn’t for me. Complicated the process too much and like you found, wasn’t a perfect design. Plus pressing that hard into a cup just felt scary as hell lol.

Oh damn! Really creative, nice one

Keep the great work!

"I push hard!" hahaha another fun video!

Cool video! I've been looking into a travel espresso setup and came across the Wacaco Picopresso. Do you have any opinions on it?

Lance, Could you please suggest an appropriate filter screen to buy, to replace the inadequate Joepresso screen? In the video, you said you hoped to add that link here, but I guess you didn't have time to do it. Thanks! (By the way, since espresso is such an Italian idea: when I heard you say "Joepresso", I expected that it would be spelled: Giopresso.) - toby

James hoffmann made an aeropress cappuccino video where he used 18g of slightly coarser than espresso grind size with 80g of water infusing it for 90 seconds. I keep on wondering what tds refraction would that method measure ? Also the one you made in this video, would it provide a good suitable base for a latte or a cappuccino ?

This was great, hopefully Ross at Odyssey Espresso will get you an Argos soon for you to review.

I’ve experimented a lot with AeroPress to get it closer to espresso without too much effort, however the biggest issue I found out with all of these contraptions is that the rubber tip of the pump does not have a good enough seal for high pressure maneuvers. While you were able to press pretty hard and level this time, AeroPress can explode its contents easily if you are not level or if something gets in the way of the rubber tip’s path causing the seal to break and having yourself and kitchen covered in coffee grinds. Not a fun experience. Happened to me multiple times using different methods. After that I just stuck to a normal method (close to James Hoffman’s) until I bought an espresso machine.

I believe there are several aeropress conversion kits which add a real lever to the equation.. could be a fun follow-up

Hey Lance, sorry for the unrelated question, but how's ssp 64mm cast burr review coming? I'm kinda torn between ssp mp vs ls burrs for my upcoming df. Is mp vs ls comprarison on the horison?

“While this cools down” Ahh, you pulled a Hoffman. Never dilute with off boiling water 😂.

My joepresso only had the pressurized portafilter. I put 2 if the paper screens in-between the filter screw and nut to fix it myself.

When using the Prismo do you grind your beans as fine as espresso?

Hey Lance! Could you add a link for the golden filter screen thingy on the description?

Thanks!

Meh. I just need to replace my plunger on my Aeropress to get a little more consistent pressure: I'll keep espresso tools for espresso machines. Good video though. Thanks Lance! :)

I have to ask, Lance, when is the manual grinder comparison comming? I'm so eager and getting impatient :D

This is actually more of an ad for that aeropress stand haha

It's 4pm here and I already drank 3 double espresso and I said, ok enough for today As I started to watch the video, I turned on again my Rancilio Epoca for the 4th double 😂

I really can't see myself pushing that hard without one day slipping (either due to my own fault, something rocking, something slippery on the table.) Did you always feel things were safe? If ya didn't have the espressoforge stand, would you have felt less safe? Maybe my mental on this one is exaggerated, not trying to pigeon hole you in to declaring this a scary thing to use.

link for the aero press stand and the other ports filter ?

THE HAIR IS BACK!

Accident waiting to happen 😆

Could you clarify why one would want to do "filter 2.0" with an aeropress? My vague understanding was that this particular approach was a neat hack for Decent owners to achieve something close to filter coffee with their magic machine. I don't have a Decent (way beyond my budget), so I didn't dig deeper, and maybe that's why I'm confused. But if you do have an aeropress, you actually have a device for easy filter coffee! So why go through all these extra steps?

How big is the basket, I am wondering if you could also replace it?

Can you please look into making some content on how to extract different flavours from the same coffee advance techniques such as flow profiling?☕☕☕

How many takes did it take to get the box landing in your hand perfect?!

Wow, pushing that hard on that little tripod stand with the glass cup under it makes me nervous.

Me overwhelmed, me wants quick and easy coffee in the morning. Me using plain old unmodified aeropress, alias POUA.

I was very disappointed I ordered on Amazon and only received one basket not 3 May I ask wher I can buy this one with 3 baskets so I can return the one I purchased from Amazon

that buddha screen.. becoming one with the puck

Thanks. I’m not looking to strain push for my coffee

Would it leak more or less if you put the gasket on top of the filter/disperser?

Any idea how much pressure you’re generating and at what point would you shatter whatever mug you’re making coffee into?

would be curious to see if the aeropress was filled with more water. the compression of air wastes a lot of energy that could be directed to the water pressure through the coffee. of course it would be very difficult to have no air but maybe as little as possible would help. air is like a spring which gets much stronger the harder you press as hence the need to bleed the brakelines on your car if there's a bubble.

I might get this only for filter 2.0 on the go 😅

is using a regular aeropress filter instead of a mesh a terrible idea?

Lance: a lot of Lime, vibrant acidity Normal People: This shot is sour as hell

Looks like to get it to work you need the stand, screen and a gym membership 😂

I've always wanted this but it's not available here

Do we even need a shower screen here? I mean in espresso machines we need, because a pump pushes the water into the chamber in a small tube. But that doesn't happen here, it's just the full water column on the puck. So I'm not sure they do anything than increasing the possibility for channeling. The only issue I see is maybe when you fill up the chamber the puck can be destroyed. But even then a melodrip or something similar would be a better solution.

Link to the brewing stand?

Stop! Daddy Hoff's gettin' jealous!

The next step is a lever mechanism that the Aeropress fits into. Internet! Get on it.

The Happy Tamper logo wins on suspicious quantity, while the Joe Presso logo wins on suspicious quality.

So if you dont have a stand that can take all this force, can you generate any foam?

So how is filter 2.0 different from an Americano?

My Aeropress arrived today. Don’t let me buy another thing, I already own too much :’D I have a cafelat robot so I don’t need it ;)

Wonder how much it tastes alike to espresso

Dunno if it's just me but this video was uploaded at 720p max. Just an FYI in case you haven't seen this issue!

Joepresso sounds like a joke name, like Biggus Dickus, or Joe Mama

I will stick with my Fellows attachment

Enjoy the content, but not sure it’s the correct etiquette to ask people to like/subscribe/donate before they’ve seen any content?

Prismo doesn’t work with aeropress go. Does Joe Presso?

I don't understand why there's a obsession with converting the AP into an espresso device. There are plenty of options to craft espresso and after trying different manual devices I can say the only way to get espresso is getting an espresso machine, so it's better to save some money and make the investment if you want to get really into espresso. Good video, anyway

Im so sorry on your divorce, noticed the shadow on you finger. It must have not been an easy separation, judging on the bruise. Please accept my deepest condolences...

I just made an Aeropress a few minutes ago!

Support comment 🙌👊👍👍 !

imma "BIG BOJJ"

So...the joepresso logo is a pointing down ****? Somehow that indicates that you won't be very happy with the product I guess....weird

Lolololol

!

How I'm early

Hard pass! People need to stop trying to make the Aeropress do something it’s not designed to do.

They still trying to flog that dead horse? James Hoffman reviewed this 10 months ago and said it definitely doesn't make espresso and had the same issue with the filter as you. Shows they're not willing to listen and learn.

I feel like the stance you're talking to put the pressure you need on the system is really bad for your shoulder. Make sure to take care of yourself!

If you want to see real 9-bar espresso I suggest you have a look at Mikki’s video posted a few days ago, the madman did it and shares everything about the process; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKymfrV6np--mWg.html
