Aeropress! I actually just bought my brother one because he saw me making coffee one morning and gave me the 🤨 look. I told him to taste it and he exclaimed "damn, that is excellent coffee!" since he's used to pre-made stuff and Keurig pods.
Yeah, aeropress really is the easiest to make, clean and maintain.
I even bought one for my parents house when I stay there and visit.
v60 easier to clean and maintain
I disagree, the Aeropress makes a nice puck of coffee which can easily be ejected out. The only thing you have to clean off is the oil (if you want, I never use soap and water, just water to give it a quick rinse). With a v60 the coffee grounds can get stuck in the mesh if you're not using a paper filter, and if you are, it's about the same cleanup, just wash off the oils and let it dry.
aeropress with normal paper filter, pick up the grounds and dispose, only the cone to wash, done. aeropress pop the grounds, scoop remainders on the plunger, wash the 3 pieces. no argument on the ease of brewing though, aeropress gets you 90% of the way there with almost no skill required
I just bang it out on the trash can after I eject the puck.
I find it harder to make good coffee. It can definitely make great coffee but you need technique.
Agreed, I don't think I've ever made a good cup using a v60 and multiple different recipes that was comparable to a cup I made with the Aeropress.
That's why I have my coffee shop to which I go for coffee.
I like to have my coffee when I wake up, in my own house, and not pay 3x the price for it 😉
I dug my aeropress out of storage not too long ago after like 5 years. it was one of my first coffee tools and I thought I moved on when I got better stuff. I gotta say it's combination of convenience and taste is still unparalleled. It still works great and immediately went back into normal rotation lol
I agree, I've tried other methods (so far only pour over and French Press) and the Aeropress is by far the hardest to screw up. I'm usually adamant on my 2 minutes 30 seconds brewing time (I set a timer) but there have been times that I've forgotten to set it and let it brew for like 5-10 minutes and it still tastes largely the same. I still haven't made a pour over that was as good as an Aeropress brew. French Press is close, but it leaves a bunch of ground coffee in the bottom of the cup.
