I picked up one of these recently and I love it. Perfect for me. Your mileage may vary. Cheers

Thanks for this video man! Surprisingly few videos on this cap, it's a bit frustrating. I'm curious if you've how this tastes compared to the Hoffman Aeropress method. Will wait for your comparison with the Prismo as well :)

It's good if you dont like invert method

What is the grind size you used on this video? Also, well done on the video-you make it easy and I appreciate it. Thanks

We usually grind at 40-42 on the ZP6! That would be a medium-fine setting for your grinder :)

You can also brew your coffee in an insulated mug for about two minutes and then pour it into the Aeropress if leakage past the filter is your only concern. Works great. Like a French press without the mess.

I think you forgot to mention grind size?

Interesting to see this used for a regular brew instead of the epsresso-like style brews from other caps like this one. Curious to know if you've tried the Fellow Prismo cap and how it compares with this one.

We have a Fellow Prismo and can definitely do a comparison video in the future!

The Primo is exactly the same but a better value because it includes a metal screen.

Plus the Prismo attachment's metal screen has a gasket which prevents fines from getting past the cap. However, if you want you 😅can use paper on top of or instead of the metal filter. I prefer using either the AeroPress Flow Control Cap or Prismo instead of inverted method because it avoids accidents when flipping. I am curious, though, about the taste difference between using AFCC and the original AeroPress cap?

Thanks for this video! I'm wondering whether you've tried longer steep times, for example a 3 minute steep or even 4 or 5 or 6 minute steep? I use a similar method with a long steep time, but I steep in the grinds and water in the pan which I've used to bring the water to a boil. After steeping for 7 minutes, I pour grinds and water into the aeropress to filter. It's essentially French Press without the sludge.
@wideawakeph3662 Жыл бұрын
Yes, I've tried these very long steeping times! From what I understand, you have a rather low risk of "over" extracting the coffee with immersion. Without getting too detailed, the coffee tends to become more and more concentrated the longer the immersion but only to a certain point. So generally, you'd most likely be hitting your target strength at the 3-5 minute mark, and any longer would not be time efficient

@@wideawakeph3662 thanks! I believe I got that steep time from a Hoffman video about French Press. I'll have to check that again, but I seem to remember him steeping for something like 7 or 8 minutes. However, you're probably right that you don't get much more out of the brew by steeping any longer than 5.

It's designed to allow it to do that for safety if you press hard enough. The coffee is still passing through the filter at the correct pressure.

It's OK because one isn't forced to use a metal filter. However, it's *leaky*. Try as I may, there's always some coffee dripping out while brewing 😢

How is this better than just brewing upside down and flipping when you're ready? And cleaning looks harder, longevity of the valve a question mark.
@wideawakeph3662 11 ай бұрын
brewing upside down (inverted method) has a higher chance of getting yourself hurt or injured!
