Aeropress's premium rating: Cult's favorite coffee machine

The snobbish coffee is A world of tribes related to each other and sometimes war. There are people with bright and dark roasters, pouring and espresso, and fierce parties of different crusher. (Baratza Unite brothers, we will wash beans in the blood of colleagues.)

Aeropress is one of the most weird land plots on the farm. Invented by the same guy who invented the Aerobie flying ring, Aeropress was a single coffee maker using the pressure used by manual pressure to extract a smooth but rich coffee cup. A Aeropress beer is done as well as espresso in its lack of bitterness but comes by a cup instead of a shot. Above all, the plastic device will last for a decade and only as high as the five Mochas Starbucks. The Wired group has long admired Aeropress; The Steven Levy column has configured the inventor In his Palo Alto office a decade ago, and Joe Ray contributed is being recorded Call Aeropress skillful.

A clear disadvantage of the community and the sensitivity to this problem will be very different because the person whose equipment is made of plastic. That plastic is repeatedly exposed to near water and half pressure. It is worth mentioning that the use of plastic Aeropry without BPA, no phthalates and approval for food exposure from FDA and EU. But … good, You know.

The heart of glass

Back in 2021, the guy Bay Sales shares In Aeropress to a Canadian joint stock company, taking advantage of the joint venture by launching a much larger set of products including large Aeropresses, Green Aeropresses, Clear Aeropresses and its own brand metal filter to compete with painting brands to create all accessories The company refused to provide. (Aeropress metal filter is great and added a clutch for insurance, as will be discussed below.)

The most anticipated products are Aeropress Premium. Finally, Aeropress provides a completely non -plastic beer production system. The water container is a clear Borosilicate glass with heat, like European pyrex. The tubes you use to apply the pressure are made of aluminum. The filter lid (paper or metal) is stainless steel. The plunger lid forms a seal with a glass chamber made of silicone.

Premium's first run was launched in October and was sold out quickly. After months of backorder, it is now available directly from the company or from Williams-dsonoma. The price of Premium has caused exciting debates between Aeropress fans, a small tribe that could be divided into two even smaller tribes, but after three weeks of testing, I gave up my reliable brown plastic aeropress down a full box of camping tools.

Metal militia

It is clear that I really like Aeropress Coffee. I tend to alternate between a few different beer production methods (Chemex, Hario, French Press, Aeropress, Keurig) in every few months but always see myself returning to Aeropress because of the unique clean, clean, Espresso flavor, easy to use and work together. But Aeropress Brew is very rich and powerful and may not be for everyone, it is less sharp and bitter than the appropriate espresso created by using more pressure, and it has a thicker mouth than drops or normal pouring.
