Hey Friends! Forgot to mention that you can also adjust the ratio. Since the Aeropress behaves more like an immersion brewer (think french press) you may need to up the dose slightly. I adapted my typical V60 recipe in the video for simplicity, 30g coffee 500ml water. If this is too light, adjust the dose by 1 or 2g, as high as 35g. Sorry I forgot to mention this in the video. Cheers!
From my experience it doesn't work like this, there is a limit what water can take from coffee so concentrate would hit its ceiling. This is the issue with bypass methods I think. I wish there would be just 400g aeropress, I don't get it why they would not do it now at this point really.
The reason the final cup is weak is initial brew is not strong enough. When you poured in the additional 175g it dilutes the ratio much higher than 15 or 16 to 1 because the final 175 does not go through the ground coffee. Therefore, your initial brew has to be at least double strength. Your initial brew should be 3.2:1 (45g coffee to 135g water). This will get you an almost espresso strength lungo or triple shot.
Notice you used a vario grinder. What grind setting did you use? You could have just poured equal parts brewed coffee into 2 mugs then added plain water to each mug to get desired dilution.
Thanks for responding. I use grind setting 5Q on my Vario with ceramic burrs and set to factory grind setting of 2Q. My original Vario has been modified by Baratza with the metal burr holder.
Yes I was wondering about this too thanks for the reply, doesn't seem I can find it in red but this is awesome. Definitely keeping it in mind when I'm needing a new carafe
Thank you! The kettle is an electric set to 205F, glass vessel is a Hario 01 decanter, came as a set: www.amazon.com/dp/B000JDGUJI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_K50MVSS7QRT24AVXN46M
It is on the lighter side for this style of brewing. Depending on the coffee you could crank it up to 35, but adding 1 or 2 grams might get you where you want it.

Came for the recipe, stayed for the cat. 🐈⬛💗

2 papers helps retain the early coffee from dripping through and slows it down a bit too...

I hope you're still following this post What was the output at 6:13?
Kat and I love Aeropress for camping! Great tips in your vid :)

Looks like I was on 6W This was with a ceramic burr set

Thank you. What was the temperature of the water you added at 6:58 ?
Usually 205F but sometimes for this technique I’ll go up to 210F
do you use dark roast coffee? what brand do you like?
Do you happen to have a link to the decanter your are brewing into?
It's the Hario 02 Microwave Server. I use one daily for the past 10 years.

safe to use with aeropress?
Yes, have used it often with Aeropress. The decanter opening is slightly different than other all glass Hario models that fits much better
My problem is my partner and I drink about 1 liter of brewed coffee each morning. :-/ Maybe I need to cut back.
As long as it’s not a liter of cold brew I think you’re okay!
Very helpful. 2 questions. Do boil the water and then add it to the pouring kettle and what make is the glass vessel? Cheers

Alan Adler the creator of Aeropress suggests 175 degrees for the water
How many grams for 2 cup?
I drove to McDonald’s and got a McCafé and got back for the end of video lol
One day I’ll be as fast as Josh Weissman 😂
I found 30gm coffee to 500 ml water too weak

Helpful video! Sorry if I missed it, but what temperature water do you use for the aeropress?
I usually use 205F, if it’s a really light roast I might push it closer to 210F
Less is more. Less water more favor.
homogeneous is also the word ... excellent vid :)
Can you please share what number you grind on your Baritza. Or give me a number from 1(very fine) -10 (very coarse)
I usually grind on a 6 out of 10 on my Baratza Vario. 1 being espresso fine and 10 being just too coarse for some drip/pour over set ups.
@@DavidLikesCoffee What letter setting? I have vario + usually grind at 4M for standard AeroPress and 2M when using Prismo.

Why are you wearing a winter hst😂
it was cold that January!🥶😅
WHO needs a scale to make coffee???!
If you’re not able to check out how full your spoon has to be for a cup…🙃
This is simply ridiculous…
Imagine not weighing ingredients 😂
