Use a finer grind and the early drip through will be minimized and you will brew rich coffee. You can also stir the coffee and water in a separate cup for a minute or two, then pour the slurry into the AeroPress and press.
FAQ
- previous post: Dear Alan, Thank you for the Aeropress, which I use twice a day. There's nothing else like it. Quick to use, efficient and delicious coffee is the result. My one concern is that I usually find an oily film on the surface of the coffee. When I refilter it through a brown paper filter, the oil disappears. Same thing when I use unbleached filters in the Aeropress instead of the standard white paper filters. Any idea what this oil is? – From Dennis L.
- next post: I saw this Q&A and you said "I then made five duplicates of the best version and loaned them to five high school teachers to use at home for two weeks. They loved them, so we went forward to production." Why did you choose high school teachers? Did you happen to pick five people and they were all high school teachers? It is super interesting. – From Hiroshi N.
