Time flies! It doesn’t feel like FF has been around for only 20 years…

It’s all going to be pressed through the AP filter anyway. I don’t think it matters where the fines are.

Cold brew really does need to be forced through an Aeropress though doesn’t it?

I tried dripping mine through my usual fine mesh sieve, and it just got clogged.

I suspect that the coffee flavor oils are solid at cold temperatures, and clog up the holes so that even water can’t get through.

And I wind up with a thin puck of very fine particles at the end of the pressing. No doubt a lot of solidified oils are trapped too.

unless you have tabs all the way to the right…

Oh okay, I can see it being a problem now…

If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed it.

It seems easy to ignore way up there at the top right of my desktop version of Firefox, but you’re right, there doesn’t seem to be any easy way of hiding it.

A standard vented coffee bag has… a vent. So some smell is expected.

I just keep old coffee bags around if I need to store grounds or separate smaller quantities of beans.

I believe the objective is to reduce beans’ and grounds’ exposure to air, to reduce oxidation and flavor oil evaporation, so a standard coffee bag is the best way. Just squeeze out most of the air as you’re resealing it.

Storing in airtight jars leaves too much air, IMO.

It’s a different brewing method using pressure through a filter, resulting in a more fragrant brew.

I use a recipe that just brews in an inverted Aeropress for 10 seconds, so it comes out faster too, although most recipes call for brewing for longer.

But the quick method is great if I’m in a hurry that morning.

One downside to Aeropress is consuming paper filters, but I also have an aftermarket reusable metal mesh filter, and it works great.

Another downside is the dreaded “inverted Aeropress” disaster, which I recently experienced. I hold it by the plunger now ;-)

I alternate using both french press and Aeropress to keep from getting bored with my coffee.

For some reason, I get the opposite effect. I feel that the resulting brew from my plastic Aeropress loses more heat than my glass french press, so I have to preheat my coffee mug if I’m using my AP.

Giving it some thought, the effect may not be the AP material itself, but the heat loss from the high surface to volume ratio of the droplets as they come out of the filter, as opposed to the stream as the liquid is poured out in a single thick stream out of the french press.

i.e. A glass Aeropress may not reduce temperature loss significantly over plastic.

But my desire for a glass Aeropress is more for reducing plastic use, and risk of shedding microplastics into foods that I consume.

What would a funnel be for? I can’t think of a use for one off the top of my head.

I pour my old grounds out of my storage bag into a small bowl, pour my new grounds into my storage bag, then I pour the old grounds on top of my new grounds, and they should get used first.

I don’t shake my storage bag to mix the old grounds and the new evenly.

Robots do not need to be thanked in Japanese.

Light and medium roasts are finicky and vary by the bag.

The lighter the roast, the easier it is to brew too long, resulting in astringency.

If a brew is astringent, keep reducing brew time until the astringency goes away.

Now that the sticker has made national headlines, it’s now a collectible, so collectors, maybe even speculators, are going to pay money to get these…

Yay! Finally Boost finally gets an update! Thank you!!!

The amount of plastics that actually get recycled is about 1% worldwide, according to the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214785321075969

The amount of Polypropylene that comes out of recycling is less than 1% of that 1% https://circularityinaction.com/2020PlasticRecyclingData

Unless you believe the stats from astroturf orgs like “The Recycling Partnership” that is funded by: The American Chemistry Council (i.e. the plastics manufacturers association), major producers of plastic packaging like Coke, PepsiCo, Uniliver, 3M, etc https://recyclingpartnership.org/funding-partners/
