    Aeropress! I actually just bought my brother one because he saw me making coffee one morning and gave me the 🤨 look. I told him to taste it and he exclaimed “damn, that is excellent coffee!” since he’s used to pre-made stuff and Keurig pods.

        I have had mine and use it all the time for about 15 years now. Still works great. I just rinse the stuff off and leave it in the dish dry rack.

          Yep. I love other methods too but aeropress seems to be the easiest method to get a consistently good cup of coffee. It’s not the best but that’s not what you’re looking for everyday.

            I’ve tried multiple different recipes for pour overs and they always come out too acidic or “off”. I can’t seem to get it to brew long enough while pouring the water, it seems too delicate and easy to screw up. It’s pretty hard to screw up an Aeropress brew.

          I disagree, the Aeropress makes a nice puck of coffee which can easily be ejected out. The only thing you have to clean off is the oil (if you want, I never use soap and water, just water to give it a quick rinse). With a v60 the coffee grounds can get stuck in the mesh if you’re not using a paper filter, and if you are, it’s about the same cleanup, just wash off the oils and let it dry.

            aeropress with normal paper filter, pick up the grounds and dispose, only the cone to wash, done. aeropress pop the grounds, scoop remainders on the plunger, wash the 3 pieces. no argument on the ease of brewing though, aeropress gets you 90% of the way there with almost no skill required

      I dug my aeropress out of storage not too long ago after like 5 years. it was one of my first coffee tools and I thought I moved on when I got better stuff. I gotta say it’s combination of convenience and taste is still unparalleled. It still works great and immediately went back into normal rotation lol

        I agree, I’ve tried other methods (so far only pour over and French Press) and the Aeropress is by far the hardest to screw up. I’m usually adamant on my 2 minutes 30 seconds brewing time (I set a timer) but there have been times that I’ve forgotten to set it and let it brew for like 5-10 minutes and it still tastes largely the same. I still haven’t made a pour over that was as good as an Aeropress brew. French Press is close, but it leaves a bunch of ground coffee in the bottom of the cup.
