Pour overs ( or drips ) , Presses ( French and Aeropress ) , Vacuum pots , and Mokka Pots ( stove top espresso ) .

Which coffee methods are best?

I do not know!

Coffee tends to be an intensely personal experience. Even when with friends at your weekly small group get – togethers at Synagogue, Church or Mosque. Or if you are not particular about any organized religious expression, at campfire, coffee shops,  lounges ,  restaurants or at your table.

 

We have our favorite brands.

We have our favorite methods.  Aeropress is my personal favorite.

The “dosing” for the Aeropress can be as little as 9 grams per 200 grams of water , to 18-20 grams per 200 grams of water.

The 9 grams per 200 can have water added prior to pressing out the water from the Aeropress. If I  place the Aeropress filter-end down on the cup, pour in the grounds, then place cup and press on a gram scale. Start pouring the water until you see 200 grams on the scale, then stir the grounds for ten seconds, then add roughly  100 grams more water. ( if you only add 50 grams water to the first 200 it will be a full 8 ozs. of coffee) Then move cup and Aeropress off the scale and  on to the  counter top so as not to damage the scale, Place plunger or piston in tube and press!

It is not an “Americano” it is a regular cup of coffee, full of full brewed flavor.

And it has saved us 5-9 grams of coffee per serving.
