Hard to photograph "smooth" - who's next up, D'wise?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

haha come on, I love coffee mugs, I collect them and drink from them... was hoping to see pics of everyone's mug.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Jason is up next. The box was delivered at 3:40 this afternoon.
Let us know if everything arrived intact...

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Got it safe and sound. I'm getting ready to head out of town, but I'll be sure to tackle this project first thing Monday morning. :tu

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Smoooooooth, J-bird. The operative word is smooooooooooooooooth.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Pending further inspection, Mooster, I'm going to keep it at smooooth. Further addition of o's will be witheld until results indicate otherwise. ;)

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

First pass at this wasn't terribly successful. Most of the water had drained out before I pressed, and I'm pretty sure I used way too much water to grinds. I ended up with a slightly flavored milk drink that wasn't too bad, but I wouldn't order one in a restaurant.

Will try again today.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Sounds un-smooth. Finer grind, maybe?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I have it set on the finest grind possible, but I'm still having the same problem. Maybe if I poured the water a little more slowly, it would allow the filter to form a better seal.

Also, is the plunger supposed to touch the coffee on the way down? Seems to me the air ahead of the plunger is what is actually forcing the water through the grinds and filter.

Didn't get a chance to use it this morning, but yesterday's results were somewhat better. If it's alright with the group, I'd like to hold on to this through the weekend. :)

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

You did use a paper filter, right?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Assuming the ones included in the box were paper, yes. Maybe my water's too thin. :p

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Changed the proportions this morning for a single cup, instead of my usual travel mug. Made a damn smooth (if not weaker) cup. The learning curve isn't terribly steep on this thing, which I like. Changing portion sizes is a bit of a guessing game, but I think two tries will probably be all it takes.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

If there is room at the end of the list I would love to try this out.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

When I make a cup I usually do the 2 scoop, fill to second water line, press, add about 5 oz of water, take to work.... after I rinse my filter...

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Going out in the morning, Tom. My apologies for the delay, fellas. Been running ragged lately, and I haven't been able to get this boxed up.

Final verdict: Smooooooooooooth. I like it. I'm still not sure it stacks up quite evenly with the trusty french press, but for travel purposes, I can see how this could be a staple. I truly appreciate the experience, Dan. :tu

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

No probs, Long as you got a time to truly experience it.
I am looking forward to it..
Tom

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Hey Tom, what do you think of this? Got your order in with Amazon yet?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Yo Tom! What's happening?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Any word on this pass, guys? Tom?

more to come in a wee bit...pics...stories of bravery in the face of poor coffee...

Tom

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Good to hear from you Tom. I called yesterday and got no answer. Hope you are well.

Enjoy the Aero, it is a great tool.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I think strong, smooth coffee wards off infection, TomTom. :)

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I've heard an infection can only be truly vanquished if the coffee is smooooooooooooth. :tu

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Novasurf, I got a new answer machine yesterday. I'll give you a shout. :)
Hey guys, This past month was a real bust for me. I was dogged by respiratory infection/s that drove me to my knees. I'd feel cocky when I started to feel better and go out or stress myself so I relapsed...DUH!!!!
I really am the poster child for NOT 40 ANYMORE.
I didn't have the strength for most of my illness to even make coffee...

I am VERY apologetic to anyone I backed up with not getting this out. Truth is I am just now starting to use it.

I am wondering if it's worth the effort to press and then add water. Not too much different, I think, from getting used to the grind and amount of water/bean to use for my proper cup. Taste and amount.
I propose to youse that I ship this off to the next guy in one week.
Is that ok?

PM is a fine knuckle ruler....to let me know that I am off base in continuing to use this.
Public admonistration is ok too.

PM me please, as I will continue to use this filter for another week, otherwise.

Thanks for understanding. I did think I might die, during this last bout of respiratory illness, once or twice.....My Son in the Air Force would have gotten the pass back on track in that event...
No fears there.

thank youse
Tom

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Take your time.

Try a finer grind.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Hey Tom, no worries, I'm sure I speak for all of us saying take care of yourself and get better. That press is made from space age polymers so it'll be around long after we're gone. Enjoy the press while you have it.

When I make the coffee with the press I add about a 1 to 1 ratio of hot water to the press output to make a damn fine cup. I use less for a stronger cup. Though I've found even a 2 to 1 ratio is still better than most swill you'll find out and about.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I'm back. Still in ill health/spirits. This is going out as soon as I figure out the next address.
I was close to dying.....perspectives change....
There are three folk after me so I
added
4 ROCKY PATEL FUSION LANCERO
4 ROCKY PATEL SIGNATURE LANCERO
4 ROCKY PATEL DOUBLE MADURO LANCERO

PLEASE TAKE ONE EACH. Then back to hardcz
These were stored at 70%, so I would let them sit a spell in a 60-65% environment.
This should finish out the pass as a small penance for my failure to pass on in an appropriate time.


I'll take pics now...
The whole kit and KABOODLE

The focus of the pass...AEROPRESS...
I don't see the purpose or need, in my case,. I like the french press I have and it is quick and clean.
IF I did not have the french press by BODEN...I'ld give this a try...full time

I figured I'd put in a bit of the snow we had on Monday...~ 7 inches
hahahahaha

God let this be the last snow!!!!
PLEASE
:)

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

UltraMag scratched a while back. He got antsy and went shopping. Remove his name from the list and continue with Gvarsity, please.

On the way to you, Bob.

tHE aoeropress....What is it about this piece of kit that helps make coffee?
Reminds me of the syringe and filter setup when I needed to take a lot of lab samples.
It takes a small amount of cupboard or drawer space
It does result in repeatable results for cups of joe.
A snap to clean
filters are reusable for several times.

When I make coffee... I make ~ 30 ounces. I find the French press to be my ideal tool for this purpose. If I did not, already, have the technique and measurement memory for the french press I may find this tool useful.
As it stands now I like the press and the ease of use and cleaning.

Benefits of the AEROPRESS
Durable and unbreakable.
can make repeatable cups of joe
takes a small footprint. Much smaller than my press.
Easily cleaned MUCH easier than the press.

Thanks for the chance to try this out. I am a tool geek and love the chance to USE something new.

Tom

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Thanks for the fine review, Tom. Glad you enjoyed messing with the AeroPress.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Say what now? This is Moo's pass, bomb him :wo

Glad you liked the hat, I can probably get a few more if anyone wants one.

I think we have some mice who ate the candy and bass pro shop shirt?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Yes. By all means. Bomb me! Woo hoo! Love the bomb!

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

AGAIN??? FIIINE!!!

Give me some time... looking at buying a new house and losing my ass on this one :wo

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Got the press and all the other goodies. Am about to try putting this contraption together right now. Thanks TOB9595. I have to get my camera and take some pics because it seems there is more here than was in the last pictures that were posted.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

C'mon. Quitcher jawing and start brewing. Brew brew brew.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Mmmm mmmm good. It makes a very interesting and potent coffee. It has a more drip coffee mouth feel than a moka pot brew but has a flavor and caffeine kick more akin to the moka. It is less bitter than I tend to find the moka brew as well. All in all a very nice diversion. At 24$ for one seems like a great little travel press. It's going to be better coffee than I am going to get at most places. Lighter than hauling my thermal french press. Thanks for putting this together moo. Nice experience.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I wonder if you have posted any of your infamous iced coffee recipes...lmao especially that Vietnamese style one my personal favorite!:al

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Love the moo recipe Vietnamese iced coffee.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Glad to hear you like it. Oddly enough I bought four tins of sweetened condensed milk the other day with a mind to warmer days and colder java, along with some mint leave to make a few mojitos (until my own backyard mint crop fleshes out). I must repost the Viet pictorial.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Tweaked my process with the aeropress. Got the grind a bit finer and added a little more coffee to water proportionally than previously. Using a nice Sumatran I just picked up yesterday. Very very smooth and balanced but potent cup o' joe. Makes me think of a Litto Gomez diez very smooth & balanced but packs a wallop. I intend to finish my experimenting and get the package out Monday. I have pm'd SUOrangeGuy and asked for his addy to move this on and haven't heard back yet so that may play into

Speaking of Mohito weather it might hit fifty here on Sunday booyah.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Camera crapped out on me so no pictures I'm afraid. My takes Aurora Cien anos robusto, & two RASS as well as the three lanceros generously gifted. My puts a AF Don Carlos Torp and two SLR Serie A. It went out yesterday morning to opus. 0308 3390 0000 4648 7858 Great pass. Thanks again Moo.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Glad you enjoyed it.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Got the package today. Contents: 1 aerobie aeropress, 4 dvds, 21 NCs, 5 Cubans, no addy list. Thanks for including me in this pass, I've been wanting to try the Aerobie for a while now.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Take your time and use it for a while, Skippoid. Those DVD's won't rust.
