I sometimes use some olive or other cooking oils to lubricate a new AeroPress seal but once an AeroPress gets into regular use, I find coffee oils provide enough lubrication.
FAQ
- previous post: Is it possible to get copies of either notes or videos of lectures on aerodynamics by Doctor Adler? I recently found a roughly 30 minute lecture on YouTube and was hooked!! Particularly by his clear way of illustrating how gyroscopic precession predictably affects a cardboard disc in flight! I would love to see and hear more from this great mind!! – From Grant S.
- next post: Long time AP user but I do have one concern. What about the AP chamber makes it safe to put near boiling water into plastic for daily use. Wouldn't the temperature be dangerous to drink from plastic? – From Adel H.
