Thank you. Brilliant vid. I want to get one of these for my son for his birthday and this answered all my questions. Definitely going to get one now! ❤🤩
Do you have to use the cup that come with the kit or would this fit on normal mug? I also like the Robert timms coffee that comes in a bag like a tea bag but coffee. drink it then throw the bag in the fire
You can use a regular cup, as long as the top diameter is small enough to support the press. I've never been a fan of coffee bags, they are convenient though. ~ Ben
Hmmm, it shouldn't be difficult, Elizabeth. It may be a little stiff to start with, but something doesn't sound right it you are having to wrestle with the filter to lock it into place. Maybe check to make sure there are no obstructions, and if there is nothing obvious then feel free to get in touch here and we can look into it (assuming you purchased it through us) - www.snowys.com.au/warranty. ~ Ben
Awesome demo mate, I was in there this afternoon and got the fantastic furno large pot set, I have the normal sized press, which is fantastic,I would have got one I didn’t know it had the cup etc well done man, I’ll come n get it it will beat the cup plunger I use at the moment.
That's thinking, Trevor! If your mug is big and stable enough then this would probably be a great idea. I prefer the inverted method as you can leave the coffee to brew longer, but you do need to be careful when using the Aeropress this way. ~ Ben
coffee snob tip: don't pour hot water straight onto coffee grounds - that can scorch them, and reduce the flavour. pour a little bit of cold water onto the grounds first, and mix it up into a smooth paste. Then add the hot water.
The slower you press the longer it brews. There is an inverted method too but it is not recommended as the coffee maker is unstable when brewed this way. You can also trial different grinds which changes the rate at which the water passes through. ~ Ben
I think I'll grab one of these next week and try it out. I've heard about them for a long time but always dismissed them. But yeah, this kit is great, and I have to have caffeine. My blood needs it to help carry oxygen through my body and into my brain...
Haha, I know what you mean, Brad. I use my Aeropress all the time, both camping and at work... pretty much anytime I'm away from my espresso machine at home. ~ Ben
@@SnowysOutdoors Yep, I'm an addict. I have my espresso machine (it's near on 8 years old now), plus my bean grinder. I'm not quite at the 'roast my own beans' stage yet, but did think about growing coffee beans for myself when I lived in FNQ.
I agree that Nanopress is a perfect option for a true espresso shot with Crema. What I like about the Aeropress, for camping in particular, is the simple design and the ability to easily make nice coffee without the need for too much milk. Each to their own though, I have a mate who uses a Nanopresso for camping and loves it. ~ Ben
@@SnowysOutdoors Would you say that the Aeropress is a bit easier for cleanup compared to Nanopress? I'm trying to decide. Also I assume the Aeropress is lighter?
@@geeh4723, yes to both of your questions. The Aeropress can just be rinsed although if storing for a long time I'd suggest separating the two pieces any drying completely. The Wacaco units have more parts to rinse, they also have more moving parts. Overall the Aeropress is much simpler, lighter and more durable, but both units produce different sort of coffee which may sway your decision. ~ Ben
Sort of, but not really. A cafitiere, or french press, doesn't use filters like the Aeropress (not that I'm aware anyway). The filters enables the coffee to be extracted under a bit of pressure rather than just steeping, or you can pretty much use it in the same manner. I prefer coffee from an Aeropress over a cafitiere. ~ Ben

Glad we could help!
~ Lauren
Thank you. Clear and simple. It's remarkable how hard it is to find a clear video showing the AeroPress and how to use it.
I'm glad it was useful, AafkeArt. ~ Ben
@@AafkeArt so true. I’m so glad I found this one. 🤩
thank you for showing the cleaning process as well
You're welcome!
~ Lauren
I love my regular Aeropress and this one makes excellent coffee as well. I plan on bringing it with me on my trip next month!
I love my regular Aeropress too, this one is even more compact. ~ Ben
Hi Ben. Great video explanation and demonstration of the Coffee Press! Looks great! Thank you.
You're welcome, Trev, I'm glad you found it informative. ~ Ben
Great review. Easy to understand and very helpful and clear.
Glad you enjoyed it @Felted Feet!
~ Lauren
I have my go and i love it. Had the original aeropress but this is better
I love mine too. I'm thinking of buying a second one for my camp kit, then I can leave my original Aeropress at work. ~ Ben

My filter is super super difficult to screw on to the aero press what do I do? Thank you . Also great video better than the others !

Making coffee inverted ~ For greater stability, is it possible to stand the coffee maker in the mug ?
That's thinking, Trevor!
If your mug is big and stable enough then this would probably be a great idea.
I prefer the inverted method as you can leave the coffee to brew longer, but you do need to be careful when using the Aeropress this way.

Great demo thanks.
Thanks for watching!

Good tip thanks Chris. ~ Ben
Super helpful! Thanks so much!
You're welcome, Jennifer. ~ Ben
How does the coffee brew if it is pressed so quickly after
The slower you press the longer it brews. There is an inverted method too but it is not recommended as the coffee maker is unstable when brewed this way. You can also trial different grinds which changes the rate at which the water passes through. ~ Ben

Muito bem explicado, parabéns ao video
Obrigado pelo elogio. Feliz acampamento! ~ Ben
People should look into Nanopress. Considerably better design, i.e. smaller, faster and does real espresso with crema.

So it's just an awkward caffitiere????
Sort of, but not really. A cafitiere, or french press, doesn't use filters like the Aeropress (not that I'm aware anyway). The filters enables the coffee to be extracted under a bit of pressure rather than just steeping, or you can pretty much use it in the same manner.

Too much trouble for barely half a cup of coffee!!!
You can make a full cup, unless your cup is 500ml or bigger. ~ Ben
Do you just do 3 scoops of coffee and then fill to the 3 line?
