How To Make An Espresso Using An Aeropress: Quick Tips And Tricks

- AeroPress is perfect for a great cup of coffee that’s prepared relatively quickly and leaves little mess to clean up after. It’s not ideal for groups or marathon caffeinating sessions (it only makes a cup at a time) but it’s the most convenient way to have a quality coffee without turning to your local barista. Most importantly, it makes the coffee well, without sacrificing much by way of flavor or body.
The Aeropress is actually a rather unique tool because it comes with its own measuring tool. The set includes a scoop and the press itself has ovals with the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. These numbers correspond to the number of scoops you can use and where you should fill the water for each amount.
So rather than having to weigh your grounds and water to get the right ratio, you can simply use these guidelines to get the job done. While you definitely could whip out your kitchen scale, to do some serious tweaking and experimenting to find the perfect brew for you, it’s not necessary. You can get a great cup without all of that.
Thanks to those handy measurement markers, you can switch up your ratio to achieve anything from an espresso-like concentration to something resembling your average brew. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Just followed this exactly. I’m very happy with how it turned out, just wish I didn’t test it out at 5pm.
lul
5PM??? I just tested 3 different grind settings (which means i drank 3 shots), using 18g espresso and 65g water, at between 11PM and 12PM 😂 I am usually able to sleep pretty quickly after i drink coffee though...
lol i just did it at 2am. it’s so delicious
About to make the same mistake
I did that to myself last night and had a terrible sleep. It’s 7:25am now time to try this device again
2:41 When he synchronizes the funnel taps with the music beat...Amazing
I read this comment immediately before that happened.
As someone who makes and edits video, that was incredibly impressive and mind blowing!!! I keep replaying it, lol 😁
It's called great editing! I've done that myself with my videos. It's not a coffee channel though! 🤣
Perfection! Just made this and although it's not espresso, it's one of the best "strong coffees" I've ever had. Thank you sir!!
Pulling the plunger up a bit is clever, preventing that dripping without inverting it or using more filters. 👍🏻
Just do the inverted method
Yes!! Thank you, this is the tutorial I needed especially when I don’t have a scale 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you so much, this was very helpful. I was following the instructions of another tutorial and was always fumbling around with two filters that never really worked. This is much easier and the result is much better than what i get out of my mokka cooker. Like this a lot, like the taste, although it’s not a proper espresso.
I usually follow this recipe
Inverted or Regular Method
11g fine, espresso-ish coffee ground
200g water
2:30 min and then plunge for 30 sec, total time 3 minutes (give it a gentle swirl in the middle)
Today I tried
11g coffee
100g water
Basically a very strong, smaller cup of coffee, richer in taste than my usual morning cup.
I liked it.
Tried this, turned out absolutely amazing! Thank you! :)
So glad I found your tutorial. I'm now drinking a much better espresso. Many thanks!
I came here to see the espresso and now I want a turtleneck
Is it a1.5 mins from when you put the rest of the water in or from when you zeroed your scale after adding the first 30mls?
Dude lookin exactly like I would imagine Coffee nerdy guy. I like him.
Love the sync between tapping the funnel and the background music 👌🏻
Well done, that's hilarious! :D
Whatever is in that coffee mug, your guess is as good as mine. 😂
I love making pseudo-espresso with my Aeropress, I use 20 grams coffee to 100 grams water with the Aeropress flow control cap. This video would have been far more enjoyable for me without the music - as someone with hearing issues, I found it almost too distracting to finish watching.😮
What temperature water?
Hot
It's definitely not an espresso but it's fantastic nevertheless!! I was never expecting to get a real espresso out of an aeropress anyway, but it can sure brew a really fantastic strong coffee.
Mind showing what the espresso looks like?
If your brewing around same time, what's the diffence between this and brewing regular coffee in it? So is a espresso in aeropress just a couple of ozes and then add 6 oz to make regular coffee or? Since even regulate coffee uses pressure with aeropress
It's extraction. Espresso brew is significantly finer than a regular aeropress brew or pour over. More extraction due to the finer grind size and a bolder flavor because of the high coffee to water ratio.
Example: my regular aeropress cup is 15g coffee and 250g water. This recipe is 18g coffee and 125g water. More coffee in half the water.
I didn’t know the Jonas Brothers had a brother that was a barista
I was going to make the exact same comment 😂 Thanks for the coffee tips, Joe Jonas!
How much 'espresso' max, can we produce each brew?
It’s 5:30pm now, should I try?
Water temperature?
All this and he doesn’t show what the espresso looks like?
Exactly!!! 💯
I wanted to see the coffee, did it have a crema?
There won't have been any due to the pressure of the Aeropress not being high enough. The Aeropress can't make true espresso, but if used as in this tutorial, it can make a short strong coffee that's about as close as you can get (on par with a Moka pot) without an espresso machine.
If you use two filters, you do get a little more crema-like foam.
Isn't it too much water for a espresso?
Very nice video, especially since most common folk dont have scales to measure coffee
If you don’t have a cheap little 10 dollar kitchen scale, you’re doing it wrong. I use mine all the time. Not even to make coffee.
When I add my water, the brew drips right through the filter. If I wait 15 seconds, it’s almost all in the cup. What am I doing wrong?
Do the inverted method.
He puts the plunger in and pulls it up a bit, creating a vaccum and preventing from more water dripping through.
There is no doubt at least some watter going through while stirring and putting in the plunger, though.
Or go inverted, I guess.
Nice.some people use a slice of orange instead of a paper filter for a different flavour.but you would need to grind a bit coarser and use the original method( not inverted) for this extraction.
Wtf?
How is this different than a French press?
Aside from you plunging it directly into your mug.
Because you
a) use a paper filter to pour the coffee through, which makes the taste smoother, less acidity
b) in case you keep the coffee longer in the french press, you get a highly extracted coffee, tasting worse every minute.
At least that is what I have found with my Aero Press
isn't inverted method better
You should've used a clear mug!
LOL this isn’t espresso. I just did espresso in my aeropress tonight and it wasn’t like this and it’s amazing.
2 paper filters make it better
you dont even show the end product
Too much.. High sounds in the audio track! "Unlistenable" on 'detailed' headphones.
The coffee leaked everywhere and the water was all gone
I just leave it upside down...
my dude said pouring some water will preheat the aeropress to maintain even temperature 😂😂😂
Why would you approximate 1.5 scoops to make 18 gms when you have a scale RIGHT THERE? !!!!!!!!!!
That was just advice for people who didn't have scales.
18gms is almost 2 full scoops in my test, oh my
No shot of the crema?
Thats a sin as far as espresso guides go, how are we supposed to know the quality of the final product
Lame. No final shot of the espresso. Is there crema?
What is wrong with the audio i cant put a finger on it but it makes me sick
Disliked the video as you didn't show espresso quality in the video
@Lance Faltinsky he is crying. give him hot chocolate instead
Thanks for this idiot-proof guide!
What's that music, completely distracts from the presenter. Can't watch it.
Fruity
TONS of pressure... nothing a "Director for Education" would say
What..
This is just how to regularly use an aeropress. Nothing about this is espresso.
For actual espresso-y you should add one wet paper filter on top of the coffee powder, now it takes even more pressure to push the water through. Still doesn't top the real thing.
Shty tut. It's not espresso.
How to make an espresso with an aeropress.... you can't.
Clickbait title is clickbait
He literally describes it as "mimicking" and talks about the pressure being lower. Right at the start. Right. At. The. Start. It's quite nice to be able to reach a "near" flavor if you cannot afford or do not wish to own an espresso machine.
An aeropress cannot make espresso. We're talking 9 bars of pressure. I'd change the title of this video.
There's always someone who doesn't understand that we're talking about flavor rather than ISO standards.
