I used an aero press this morning for the first time using your coffee and water measurements, and the espresso was so good! Plus, it's really easy to do. I can stop using pods now. Thank you!
Super easy to understand video. I love that you were inclusive to levels of strength because I thought about getting an aero press for my wife but she likely wouldn't be able to make it herself! Great video!
Glad that was helpful! Now, I've had my Aeropress for years, so some of the difficulty could come down to it being old. I should purchase a new one to see if it's any easier! 😅
You are very clear and to the point in this video, engage the audience really well, and inspire with your enthusiasm while also keeping your voice calm, crisp and clear 🙂 Well done! 😊
it is PRESSURE that gives espresso its unique and strong flavor - and the Aeropress provides an inexpensive and easy way to apply pressure to the grounds (although certainly not as much pressure as a $1000 espresso machine)... however some folks use the INVERTED Aeropress method to apply pressure to ALL the coffee that comes through the filter into your cup - because you may notice when you first pour the hot water onto the grounds and begin stirring, some water immediately starts to drain through the filter into the cup, and by the time you start pressing the plunger perhaps 25% of the espresso in your cup is actually pour-over... so INVERT the Aeropress before adding the grounds and water and stirring - then wet the filter and screw it on and turn right-side-up over your cup and press away for a better espresso... Erica - you should do a video on the Aeropress inverted method...
I was just testing out the inverted method, and I didn’t notice a huge advantage, but I need to experiment more! Maybe I could do a video taste testing the different Aeropress methods…
This is the most useful tutorial I have came across. You deserve more subscribers. Oh, and, could you use a lighter roast coffee and use more of it, would that work?
Aw, thank you! Glad it was helpful! You can use a lighter roast if you wish, but if you use more coffee the final flavor may end up more bitter or sour? It's worth experimenting with though!
Could you tell me how many tablespoon of coffee you used for frenchpress and how much water for one shot? I didn’t understand clearly also can i use filter coffee?
Hello! Such a helpful video, I’ve just bought an aeropress. How do I know what the temperature is of the water if not boiling? Do I need a thermometer?
A thermometer is helpful, but (if you don’t care about being super precise) you can also just use almost boiling or steaming water. Or bring it to a boil and then let it sit for a few minutes to cool back down.
I don’t have experience with pour over, but it’d be worth a try to simply brew with less water. How many grams of coffee do you typically use for pour over? A shot of espresso is usually 6-8 grams of coffee, or of course 12-14 grams for a double shot. And the final extracted shot is 1 ounce, or 2 ounces for a double. So you could brew until you get 1 or 2 ounces of coffee, depending on how much ground coffee you use?
I don’t have a lot of experience with instant espresso, so I can’t say whether it would be the same! I guessing instant espresso is probably stronger tasting, so you would use less?
I did see a beautiful espresso machine in the background of another video of yours...would you mind sharing what brand and style it is? New to your channel--I like the cooking from old cookbooks segments a lot!
Thank you! In the meantime I got a small espresso (De'longhi) machine as a birthday gift from my boss. It too leaks, and I don't want to tell them out of politeness/not wanting to hurt their feelings. Back to my Mokapot, haha! @@ButteredSideUp
@@ButteredSideUp so i tried your recipee to make an espresso and then transform it into a latte (using your milk foaming video from last year), it came out ok, but i believe i didn't whisk the milk long enough, since half of it was still liquid and not foamy. I also poured it without inclining the coffee cup to the side, which made me manually mix the milk foam and the coffee with a spoon afterwards, ruining the presentation. Either way, it tastes nice, thanks for the videos, they're straight to the point.
It was gifted to me waaaaay back in the day. It’s called the Perfect Portions scale. I don’t use the nutritional value part, but it’s been a really solid kitchen scale!
@@ButteredSideUp The cofee is really fine like powder , and the taste is terrible ,im using Brazillian cofee ant it is no where like the Starbucks taste cofee
For a fine grind, I would recommend using the aeropress method. The other methods aren’t as suited to a fine grind. Or maybe you could use a coffee sock?

Thanks for the great instructions. The electric stove circle is called a burner. 🙂
i just made a pumpkin spice latte with your french press method and omg best coffee ive ever made! thank you

You're the best. I was looking at moka pots to try and approximate espresso, hadn't even considered aeropress. Thanks!
Finally an actual method I can use! The only equipment I have is a pour over machine lol
Super helpful, can’t wait to try these methods!

@@ButteredSideUp thank you, I’m going to try this soon.
was looking for a way to make espresso style coffee with the french press i own and wondering if that was possible, thansk to you i know!
you nailed the question weighting the back of my mind... how did you know, that is the question...
I love this video it’s so vibes and so helpful!!!❤
Thanks, that insta coffee trick changed up my coffee alot:)
Super helpful. Thank you!
Hello, what kind of sweetener are you using?
Could you tell me how many tablespoon of coffee you used for frenchpress and how much water for one shot? I didn’t understand clearly also can i use filter coffee?
It’s in the description

Nice review. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this information 😁✌️❤️
Is the instant coffee option a joke 😂
There are definitely higher quality instant coffees that taste better than others
Really great video, good job :)
I like your videos .. Can you substitute water with hot milk in the french press and have a latte instantly?
lovely blouse, thanks for the tutorial
Thank you
Why not use ground espresso beans?
You can! I like to grind my fresh, but by all means use ground if you prefer!
how many “shots” would you say 1/4 cup of coffee and 4 oz of water for a large french press gets you?
Is inside the moka pot always aluminium? I know there are steel versions, however, I guess the interior coating is still aluminium.
I believe the one I own is stainless, but it’s no longer made as far as I can tell.
Can pour over coffee work? I use a filter over my cup with kettle water.
I don’t have experience with pour over, but it’d be worth a try to simply brew with less water. How many grams of coffee do you typically use for pour over? A shot of espresso is usually 6-8 grams of coffee, or of course 12-14 grams for a double shot. And the final extracted shot is 1 ounce, or 2 ounces for a double.

@@ButteredSideUp thank you. I tried it last night, and think I've got it! I doubled the amount.
Would the recipe be the same for instant espresso coffee? Thank you! 🤍
I don’t have a lot of experience with instant espresso, so I can’t say whether it would be the same! I guessing instant espresso is probably stronger tasting, so you would use less?

I believe it was the Bezzera BZ07. It started leaking a while back, and IDK if it's worth sending off for repairs, so I no longer have it.

Succinct info, thank you!
She missed india filter coffee, it will be similar to air filter but made up of copper or brass or steel..
3:58 Should be cold or cool water, not boiling water.
Using boiling water reduces the amount of time the moka pot needs to sit on the stove, which decreases the chances of it burning.
Hey! I have a question if I use instant coffee to make a shot of espresso, would it have less caffeine impact?
I think instant coffee does have slightly less caffeine than brewed coffee, but it probably varies from brand to brand.
What type of liquid sweetner do you use?
Maple syrup!
@@ButteredSideUp maple syrup is the best, can't believe how aghast people are when i tell them i add it to my coffee for swetener and aroma
@@amvlabs5339 Yes! I grew up eating our homemade maple syrup, so it feels so natural to add it to all the things!

Hey whts the scale tht you are using tht lists the nutrition value ? Can u link it plz ?
It was gifted to me waaaaay back in the day. It’s called the Perfect Portions scale. I don’t use the nutritional value part, but it’s been a really solid kitchen scale!
So the only thing different about using a French press is that you used a lot more coffee than normal? Man, that's super technical.
@@ButteredSideUp If I had a method, I wouldn't have been watching stupid videos. But that doesn't negate what I said.
The Aeropress doesn't make good coffee most of the water starts to drain before you even start the press.
Try the inverse brewing method to keep all the water until you press ;)
It's called an "eye" or "burner".
Nice video! How much milk to add for cappucino?
you add milk
All of these work great for the purposes of a latte or cappuccino, but they are horrible for a regular espresso
Obviously these are not “true” espresso. But have you tried aeropress coffee? It’s pretty good.
can powdered cofee work?
Are you referring to espresso powder, or ground coffee, or something different?
@@ButteredSideUp powdered cofee or grinded coffee beans
For ground coffee I would recommend the aeropress, moka pot, or French press methods. How finely ground is your coffee?
@@ButteredSideUp The cofee is really fine like powder , and the taste is terrible ,im using Brazillian cofee ant it is no where like the Starbucks taste cofee
For a fine grind, I would recommend using the aeropress method. The other methods aren’t as suited to a fine grind. Or maybe you could use a coffee sock?
Your braces are very nice

Instant organic freeze-dried decaf coffee crap.
She's beautiful
Wtf
another gurl talks like kim cardashian
I've been using boiling hot water. Makes sense why it was always off 🥲
