AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welcomed.
 

WTF? Who isn't here? This could be tricky... missing six = burninator, designwise1, GrtndpwrflOZ, SUOrangeGuy, Syekick, TOB9595

Any ethical problems moving a pass from one forum to another? Can I get a ruling here please from some kind of pass genius?

Res? You have the gear yet?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Good day, gentlemen.

I may restart the pass while it's in progress to see if others here may want to get involved. I guess it goes as it is for now. Brew on, ResIpsa... brew on.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Excellent call Moo, glad to see this got moved.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

my total bad...

The two unbanded cigars in the box are '01 hoyo des dieux's.... BTW the NC's not in the bag were ones I added as well..... you'll see when the next pic comes...

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Made it!

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Slow here guys, sorry. It will go out on Monday, I'll update this thread with thoughts in the next day or so.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

HOLI S**T!

Things do happen in life to cause delays...In some ways I wish you had a major disaster to keep you from the commitment ...
BUT...
In so many MORE ways I hope it was just laziness...
I'll not know.

Tho I am thinking of coffee moor and Moor
I'm doing flavored hazelnut with hazelnut cream and sugar...
I don't know what a real cup of coffee tastes like...

But I will experience different types, flavors and ways.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

don't be sorry I took forever because I'm slow and enjoyed it, just was wondering what was up

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

My apologies to all for my harsh and ignorant wording above.
If I could edit it I would.

To All

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I guess skinning alive would be too good for you, Tom. The only possible way to redeem yourself now is to stick something really cool in the pass for the guy who started it which would be, uh..., um.. d'oh, me when (if) it ever gets to you. Slow seems to be the order of the day. Also, the words "slovenly" and "slacker" showed up early. I know that, after a post like this, it's hard to be patient.

So, speaking of slackers... Vic! Made any AeroPresses yet? I am thinking any of your standard espresso roasts would run well. I never used a regular espresso blend in the press while I had it.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Tonight.

BTW, when I got the box I just grabbed it, moved stuff around in my end table humidor and put the box in there for safe keeping, never even opened it until today.

Quite the smorasborg, the two Dans have put in there:ss, it's all very very nice!

What are we supposed to be doing, yes, I forgot the rules.....

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

1. Use the press for a few day - a week or so if you wish - and repackage it and forward to the next person on the list.

2. Everything else is puts and takes as a normal pass.

3. aldukes is next in line. If you didn't get an address list in the box I will recreate it and forward it to you. Advise.

pics or it didn't happen

You can always send me your share of that tobacco :tu

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Think I had this bastage for 2-3 weeks before I shipped it out...good thing you put that humidistick in there :lv

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

aldukes - you're up. :salute:

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

looking forward to getting this- I have some fancy stuff from Intellegensia arriving this afternoon.

Moo- I'm still interested in making the Cafe Cubano and supplying pics. Bring on the Bustelo!

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

On it's way to our next contestant, DC 0308 0660 0000 6098 0095


Housekeeping stuff first.

My takes were nothing.

I added a handful of NC's to the baggies, and a couple of CC's for our pass leader.

I didn't like the fact that the Cubans were in a cigar box unhumidified, I removed them all (including the two unbanded ones), placed them in 5 finger baggies, put them back in the ziplock and added a water pillow for humdification.

The NC's, I just added my cigars, left them in the zip lock with their humi stick.

The Aeropress:

Well, I tried it with several types of beans, some espresso blends(Malabar Gold, Moka Kadir (sweet marias) and one of my own blends.

Thoughts?: In a pinch, not bad. Lets face it, I 'm spoiled with my gear so I can't say "Wow, it rocks me!"

Espresso it ain't. Good coffee, you betcha.

I also tried it with a plain old SO Yellow Bourbon bean done up to a City Plus roast. Very good cup of Joe it made. Better than my French Press? Different, each good in their own way.

Would I buy one? Probably not. Most of my coffee drinking these days is made with my Anita, that which isn't is done in the French Press. I think the press is a little more straightforward and quicker to use, so the Aeropress aint' gonna replace that.

In my new job I don't travel anymore, so taking it on the road is not even a consideration. If I were still traveling it might be an option, so if jobs change again I'll rethunk it.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

The box with the rather strange contents are here! I'll post pictures when I send this out later on in the week.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

So far so good. i've been pressing Black Cat Espresso 2-3 times a day via areopress. I make all my coffee at the office- this thing is a breeze to clean. Im even able to get a slim touch of fake crema.

As long as no one opposes- I would like to keep this for the weekend and ship it out Monday.

On a side note- at least 10 people have asked me if I had "Swedish Made Penis Enlarger" on my desk.

I swear its not mine.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I'm digging your CUT:r

I've got a brother barely a year older than me, when we were little whenever he wanted anything apparantly I always chimed in with "me too!"

My whole life that's been my Mom and Dad's nickname for me, :D

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Are you finding the "smooth" factor a plus or a distraction?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

sounds like youse guys are having a blast
Tom

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I find it a plus, also the depth of flavor, even when mixed with say 50-100% more water a great cup of coffee.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Ive been pressing double shots of "espresso". Its super smooth- I agree with Hardcz in saying it helps the aroma and flavor because its so smooth. I still prefer real espresso, but this is almost as good.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Does anyone else want in or is this the final, complete list?

The AeroPress AeroPass continues at the speed of mud. I remind you, this pass isn't meant to be fast. Take whatever reasonable time you need to field test the AP.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Ya'll can drop me from the pass so those below me can get a turn quicker. I am the slightly impatient new owner of an Aeropress now. :o

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Congrats, what are your thoughts on it?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Just saw this thread. I love a good cup of coffee, but I haven't gone much beyond a 'grind and brew' drip machine and a Saeco Aroma machine. Please add me to the list if there's a spot left!

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Drop the U'mag. Good bye. Brew on. Brew on...
Add that thar Hokie. Welcome.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Good Golly and I thought I was bad about posting pics :ss

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

It's hard taking pics at the office- I promise I'll have some before I ship out.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

here we go with the pictures:

final product- about 30 seconds later.

Conclusions:

I ran Black Cat Espresso and El Diablo dark roast through this for 2 weeks. The Espresso blend was awesome- really brought out the flavors and aromas, excellent "espresso". I would buy this over a Mokapot for Espresso only.

With that being said, I'm sticking with the french press for day to day operations, but asking Santa for an Aeropress.

I don't have any takes or puts for the pass. This is going back out this afternoon DC: 0308 0070 0001 9474 6973.

Thanks to MOO for running the show.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I haven't used it alot but I really like it so far. Definately don't regret the purchase one bit. Easy to learn, brews good coffee, cleans easy, and it didn't break the bank. I'd really like to find an adapter of some kind to brew directly into my Stanley thermos when I'm out of town. Other than that me and the Aeropress are at one.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

GrtndpwrflOZ- did you get this?

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

pm inc...GrtndpwrflOZ

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

G'z pm'd me that he had rec'd the "unit" and wanted to "play" with "it" before "coming" to any conclusions and passing it along to the next guy.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Very cool, hope the pressing is going well my friend.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Hey Moo any news to what's up with this? Probably got set aside due to the holidays.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Hey, all.
Got a box in today's mail. Woo-hoo! Lots 'o goodies. Some of the cigars are looking rough because not all of them are in sleeves. I've put everything in my humidor for now until I send the box on to Georgia. I just used the press for the first time and DANG it makes a good cup of joe.
Thanks again, Moo, for letting us try this thing out. I think I'm sold but I want to try it out a few more times. It's easier to clean and use than I thought it would be.
My camera is at work so I'll have to wait until Monday to take pictures.
Have a safe night tonight; there'll be a lot of drunks on the roads.
--Gerald

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Thanks for the update Gerald. So when are you buying one for yourself lol

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Another miracle! Brew on, des'wise. Brew on.

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

OH BTW! If you're looking for an aeropress, amazon has the best deal I saw, and then you can get the filters for a few bucks, and get it all with free shipping. *love mine*

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

I still think I need one of my own. I'll send this one on next week. Hopefully early in the week... :D

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Pics!

Re: AeroPress AeroPass in Motion - Additions Welco
 

Too late for pics. I sent the box on it's way yesterday. It is going to be on a Georgia porch tomorrow by way of Untied Parcel Service. :cb
I've never had coffee that smooth. Not a trace of bitterness. Thumbs up for the Aeropress.
Thanks again for letting us try it out, Dan.
