5 Easy AeroPress Hacks

I use two paper filters but only discard the dirtiest (top) one. Therefore I really only use one a day

I'm laughing at myself because I never knew you could take the gasket off! That's definitely something I'm doing. While I try to get the unit good and clean about once a week, it definitely does start to taste worse toward the end of that week.

Here's how you deal w Aeropress.. Use inverted method.. Microwave your water in your coffee mug, so the mug is hot, cause after pressing, the coffee will be lukewarm otherwise.

Everyone does not like the Aeropress pour over coffee maker

Great tips, thanks!

Good, informative video, thanks.

Is Poland Spring Water considered “good water”?

Thanks for all the 'insider' info. This has been an enjoyable heads up tutorial.

My problem with Aeropress is that the water leaks a lot even before I press the plunger.. I noticed yours doesn't in the video. I wonder why.. maybe because of using two filters?

Now I've discovered the plunger... 😂😪🤢

Very nice 👍

I'm new to aeropress. Your tips are great, thanks.
How coffee is in coffee jar? Looks more than aeropress can extract (I watched your video about big cups, but seems is even more)

This was great, you're cute :)

Very helpful! Great tips, well presented!

After watching this, I disassembled my AeroPress to clean it as you demonstrated. Well… there was all this gunk under the gasket. If anyone doesn’t believe that there is oil in coffee, let me tell you it looked like cocoa butter in there. I washed mine with detergent, that cannot be a problem if you rinse thoroughly.

I use hydro peroxide for soaking, kills any bacteria that hides in those hard-to-get spots.

Had no idea the gasket came off…good to know.

He sounds like a Viking. ;)

The only problem with brewing into an intermediate contaigner before pouring the coffee into the cup is the heat loss. I often nuke the final cup in the microrave for 15-20 seconds to get the temp back up.

Thanks, A good video covering some basic (but often forgotten) information which helps make a good Aeropress brew.

Good water is just as important as good, well roasted coffee. I’m fortunate here in Western Washington to have incredibly pure well water.

Great advice on an awesome coffee maker. Great water is everything. My formula....grinde whole beans extra fine.....1 and 1/4 spoonfull ( Starbucks Cafe Verona ) Add boiling water....stir 10 seconds then plunge imediately. The Aeropress is equal to the very expensive commercial Clover Machine.

What about metal filters? Infinite reuse. How will it affect the flavour?

Great tip about regularly cleaning the AeroPress. I recommend soaking the brew chamber in a baking soda water solution as well. I had to retire my 4-5 yr old AeroPress a while back bc it started leaching a stale rancid off-taste to my coffee. The old models also had ridges on the outside of the plunger that would scratch up the inside of the chamber.

I recently bought a replacement and it’s really helpful for filtering out cold brew. I wish they went back to the gold letters. The red branding just isn’t the same 😂

Awesome!!!

Are you sure its coffee in the bowl 😀 looks more like tea 🍵😎

Great video! New tips on Aeropress and I thought I knew everything already.

Water is important, but recommending bottled water for everyday use does no good to environment, and it gets very expensive quickly.

FANTASTIC Video!
Will have to try out a couple of these!

this is so helpful!! excellent video, thank you for sharing some of your expertise

thanks, great tips! i just got an aeropress, so very helpful. id say a non-detergent castile soap would work for cleaning, too. do the added minerals really affect the taste positively?

I didn't use my Aeropress for months and when I went to use it, I noticed how sticky the gasket was. I went to the AP site and followed their cleaning directions. When they didn't work, I called AP. They sent me a new gasket for free. Have you ever used the Aesir filters?

you can also froth heated milk in a plnger

Great video, thanks. What recipe would you recommend for aeropress?

Where can I get the same range server from? uk anyone?

Even with two filters, as soon as I pour the water in, it flows right through the filter. Any suggestions to help increase the brew time so that I can use the plunger?

hi, thanks for sharing. So reverse osmosis water is not enough?

Can't you just clean it in the dishwasher? That's what I do...

Excellent!

These are all great tips, expect maybe the last one which just seems a bit silly. I've never had an issue with aeropress coffee being too hot (more often the opposite) and I don't believe pouring from one vessel to another is going to significantly affect aeration when the coffee is already slowly dripping out while pressing.

These are great tips! Thank you for sharing! I have a tip to share about water temperature: I find that using piping hot water that just boiled results in a scalded flavor. In my opinion, the ideal temperature for water when it is being poured into the Aeropress is 175°F or so. The easiest way to achieve this is to boil your water, pour it into a mug or server, then using a second mug or server, pour the water back and forth four times before introducing it to the Aeropress. If you measure the temperature of that water after that pouring ritual, you will find that it is around 175° F.

Good tips, but your coffee looks way too weak for my taste.

Thanks a lot for this movie, helps a lot! Even I'm not a rookie in Aaeropress ;)

Great video man - really informative. Would love to see your best aeropress recipes for both a light and a dark roast.

All my life I am afraid paper filters will be expensive ...O

I want the white cup with the gold filagree - beautiful!
I also use the prismo. Will check out the video you mentioned below.

I brew ~ 20oz each morning. First I heat the pure mixing water then pour it into a thermos to keep it hot and raise the internal temp of the thermos. I then bring the mineral water to a boil and pour into a cup. I then return the hot water to my pot to maintain ~ 175*s , then put the AP over a thermos, pour the ~ 220* mineral water into the dry grinds, plunge, then swirl the pure 175*ish water

Most of these tips are bad other than the cleaning tip. My tips: #1, learn to reverse brew with your aeropress. #2, make sure you pre rinse your paper filter with warm water, as well as the rubber gasket and the rest of the insides of the Aeropress.

Aeropress is my usual daily brewer so this is much appreciated. For the filtration, I usually use 2 filters too but one of them is metal and the other one paper. Have you ever tried that? I just got the Fellow Prismo so have been using that quite a bit, it is pretty good and fast.
