You'd better make sure to clean it really, really well, though. Otherwise, it'll ruin the flavor of the coffee. Of course, if you're using some cheap, not freshly roasted coffee beans, then it won't matter either way.
I just tried this an hour ago with 1 aeropress scoop of Café Naviera from Tampa, FL. I tamped using an ALDI italian seasoning canister (MANY spice canisters are the same size as the one he uses, so just try out a few in your cabinet). I then added water to the 2 line on the aeropress with a second filter atop the grounds. Pressed immediately. Result: heaven. This is by FAR the best method I've seen. I'm really surprised I don't see more aeropress videos using this method! It makes the closest thing to crema I've seen!!
Best faux espresso I've made thus far with the AP. I used James Hoffman's suggested ratio of 18g coffee with 90g water which will yield a double espresso (60-70g). I bloomed with 30g water for 30 seconds then filled the rest & pressed really slow aiming for 2 minutes total including bloom time. If using a metal filter don't tamp too hard because (in the bloom phase) you want all the dusty fines to get wet, swell up & stick to the puck so they won't pass through. The only down side is that you don't get the efficient extraction by stirring the grounds. For example the water striking the top paper filter spreads to the outside as it looks for the path of least resistance. Thus, I question if the water distribution through the cake is even.
Hadn't seen the double-paper-filter and tamping method before. This is why I never let myself think I've mastered my Aeropress and periodically search for new methods. Thanks!
I just made a cup. Pretty good! I didn't get as much crema as your's in the video, but I'll keep trying. I think the taste was affected due to using lawry's lemon pepper seasoning instead of the chicken salt. I guess I'll go buy the real thing and try again :/
I've been using one for 2 years now and it's amazing. It makes such a smooth cup of coffee. Also, there are a bunch of 3D printed accessories you can get free for this.
One thing to keep in mind is not all coffee beans produce crema, even off a espresso machine. Most of the roasts will give you what you're after. Another thing you need is pressure, and you can get more pressure if you use a metal filter at the bottom. These metal filters are made by Able coffee for the aeropress, and have tons of really small perforations, I don't know the micron number, but it's small. Add the top paper filter as you see here and tamp. That bottom metal filter will build a lot more pressure than a paper filter, and thus produce that crema! Enjoy!
+Steve M. The metal Able coffee disk yields at the same pressure as the paper filter. The double filter trick he's using here will increase the pressure but i'm not sure it's useful because the increased pressure the second filter creates is above the coffee slurry... more effective would be add two paper filters at the bottom and grind the coffee at a finer setting.
Ur amazing for this!!!! I’m about to go buy an aero press today so I can stop spending $5 5 days a week on my espresso drinks! Love how detailed u are walking us through the tutorial and I can’t wait to try this out!
Just tried this technique. I used 3 'aeropress scoops' of fine ground coffee and 60ml water. Insanely good. Delicious! If i didn't know any better i'd have said that it was legit espresso. Thanks man. Very, very difficult to press though!
I've done this over 20 times and each time I feel like I'm going to pull a muscle or something lol. It's extremely hard to push, however I bought a Spressa Mezzo lever kit. This will solve your problem, also one should invest in a GREAT burr grinder to render consistent grinding results. As far as the ratio goes, single shot is 1:1, double shot 1:2, triple is 1:3. All shots should start with 19g. If you want a single shot then you'll put in 19g of coffee and you'll expect 19g of espresso in return, for a double you'll put in 19g of coffee but expect 38g of espresso in return and so on. Water temp should be 200 degrees.
@@my7ek 100 centigrade, 212 Fahrenheit, 202 if you get lucky in Denver. Just sayin', and I'm not the one to be sayin'. I'll say this though about coffee, no matter what the geeks do or say to turn me off, coffee will drive me on.
Just got into this coffee game and bought one of these. If anyone is having a hard time keeping that top filter stuck to the top after compressing use two filters instead of one. I don’t know why but for me using one filter always has it coming back out when I lift after compressing. Two filters has them both stay tucked and sealed to the bottom perfectly after compressing it.
Just tried it and it tastes pretty good! I used 17gr of coffee to 70mls of water + a metal filter on the bottom + 20sec pre-infusion. Btw why are you using your chicken salt container? Just use the press and rotate it afterwards.
This tasted great. The only problem I had was keeping the filter from sticking to the spice jar instead of staying in the Aeropress. I may just try wetting the edges next time.
If anyone wants a tip to enhance this awesome method!! It seems that if you do a rapid plunge 70-80% of the way then pull back plunger to the top & push back down not all the way. If you repeat that technique once or twice it seems that the pressure builds up so much so that this can only be done for stronger people But the crema is more than normal!
Casey keep doing Davinci videos. Also coffee beans need to rest for at least two days after roasting, otherwise you get lots of co2 trapped in beans (which you might think cream of coffee but actually it loss of flavors) We rest the beans for a week to make Turkish coffee, 2 days is enough for an espresso
Holy crap. This is incredible. Well done, Casey Faris. This is in depth, thoughtful, funny, and most importantly- delivers a promising combination of savvy and coffee magic. I like how you advocate 'the good stuff'. I recently got a job offer as a barista- and then promptly accepted another job offer in an office environment. I am now attempting to learn good coffee making on my own, so these video tutorials are critical. Thank you! I look forward to picking up a new gadget or two and trying it.
As an Aeropress afficionado, I have to say that is the most off-the-wall technique I have seen yet! Love it. If it weren't for the fact that I despise espresso, I would try it. Nice tutorial and video production, though.
As someone thats been in post for almost 10 years now....and has an aeropress on his desk right now.....I have NEVER ever EVER thought of tampering down the ground. Oh myyyyy god why have i never thought of that.
This method is 10/10. I followed their directions at first and it was weak and unimpressive. I did this with the two filter method and it was leagues better- emphasis on "leagues". The two filters is golden, man. I won't use any other method in the future. I even tried the inverted method some use with this, but this was much better. My stepdad had a fancy espresso machine plumbed into the house and I'd say this is about as close as you can probably get without spending a thousand dollars. Thank you so much for sharing this idea.
Ok so I know I’m about 7 years late for this tutorial lol but THANK YOU so much for this amazing video! It honestly was a game changer in my daily espresso routine. I’ve saved so much $$$ not getting Starbucks everyday 🙏☕️
I just tried this and it worked great. Really good flavour out of the Aeropress that way. I over compressed the coffee which made it really hard to press the water through, so next time I will try with less compression. It's a bit of work but the result really surprised me. Many thanks :) I used the standard Aeropress recipe (one heaped scoop of the ground coffee, and fill the Aeropress with the water up until the '1' mark).
I'm blind so dunno if I'm missing instructions on-screen. What's your water temperature? What's your brewing ratio? What's your brew time? This is all important info
This is awesome, thank you for doing this tutorial! I had an amazing espresso over Christmas and realized I've been missing out, but I don't want another expensive appliance to be responsible for 😅 this is the kind of hack I was looking for! If I can get my hands on an aeropress I'm totally trying this 🏆
A couple of crucial points you missed is the amount of coffee to use and the speed of the press. Without keeping these consistent you’re gonna get really inconsistent coffee.
wow putting cocoa nibs in coffee is the brainwave i didn't know i needed! definitely grinding that cacao i've got in the back of the cupboard the next time i do coffee.
This is the last thing I thought I would watch today, BUT well done as I now understand much more about how an Aeropress works (and even got a better understanding how espresso is made). Thanks!
+Andybiotic To cover it all up in milk and sugar and vanilla! I am mostly just joking though/being internet pretentious for no reason. I love coffee no matter what and if you like sugar and milk and flavors in there (I'm looking at you chocolate chip cookie creamer) then all the more power to ya- just not my cup of tea (in a literal and figurative sense)
@Dead Man Not necessarily. I just saw another video with a bunch of different variables changing -- inverted vs normal, different amounts of coffee, different grinds, etc., and the finest grind produced less crema somehow. I'd guess there is an optimal point, and I'd sure like to know what it is without wasting a lot of coffee to find out. I just ordered an aeropress and expect it in a couple of days and went out looking for some tips in advance on how to best get the result I'm after. A bit more here on exactly how finely his coffee was ground would have been helpful.
This technique is class. Takes a good bit of force to get the water through but when it makes it to the cup it gives the best home made espresso. Sound :)
Thank you for the tip of using that chicken salt spice holder. Here's a tip in return: Use the Prismo attachment for the Aeropress to get more pressure, thus more espresso like coffee!
Based on how high the coffee sits in the video, I estimate he used roughly 2 scoops of beans. The water seems to do best around 190-200 for me. Also I fill the water to about 2 or 2 1/2. This gets results that look very close to the video.
@@23000tc follow the number labels. But I believe he is using two aeropress scoops (up to 1), and filling the hot water (a little drab at first) and then just a notch above 2, before pressing
I like a cold latte or cold cappuccino so maybe this a way for me. Sad face need find good beans, but what you think starbucks espresso whole beans? Also I am sorry did you say how much grounds to grind and much water and what brand is the grinder.
Casey! You rock!! You are my new fav person! Thank you for making this video! I just bought this product for my boyfriend to make espresso at work. Your cadence throughout the video is excellent and the tips for damping the coffee grounds is fantastic along with the filter. Thank you!
French Press / Coffee Plunger seems to do a better job at texturing milk than a milk wand. Wand tends to produce stiff foam whereas the press can get it smooth and velvety.
disagree. But it will take a good grinder/grind and also strong coffee/espresso roast. With 2 scoops and this method, straight shot.... you will be lit
@@TRIBOY16 I will give it a try in the morning. sure as heck can't do it this time a night. I am still playing with the flair espresso maker I picked up a few weeks ago.
I tries this method and it tasted great, but i saw very little crema. I used another method (inverse and quick extraction) and i got a bit of crema, but it tasted very weak. Why?
most of the time the top filter above the grounds loosens up at the point where the buoyancy from the water makes it weigh less and less - kinda frustrating. I'm using a different seasoning salt shaker but still quite similar bottom. Which version / release / whatever of the aeropress is this? I have an older one that is not as wide as the newer could that be it?
I tried this out today and it turned out yummy, glad I found this video! I like to enjoy my coffee iced and with syrup but a little kick to it/not so mellow. I was wondering if from experience you had any tips on how to keep the filter from floating upwards once I add the water? (perhaps I did not tamp hard enough?) I will try again pretty soon
Tears of JOY. Tried this first time today. WOW It really does work. At first I thought I was watching a magic show with your video. Yes I'm a bit skeptical, born from the show me era. Well I've created a new LIST "curious Must See by Others" on my channel, and of course this is the first on it. Plus added a post about it on my FB page. Yep I'm one of those that loves coffee. Thank you again. (With TH-cam I feel like the man who is up to his neck in alligators because he forgot to drain the swamp. Housekeeping day today.) Again GREAT VIDEO. Also going to follow your color grading tutorials and do my best to understand what you are talking about as I have loads to learn... TY
Great video - I'm optimistic that I too might achieve crema with my Aeropress. So far I haven't had much luck. I can't seem to create a seal tight enough to keep the water from mixing with the coffee when poured onto that top filter. In your video, the water sits right on top of it perfectly. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
I just bought an Aeropress and have it on its first test run business trip. Destroys hotel coffee. I am trying the "two-filter-compression technique next. Thanks for the great idea!
I just got my knock-off YuroPress from Alibaba. Had a few extra accessories and the directions were a little basic. I'm trying to recreate a white chocolate moca I had from a small cafe that, thanks to COVID, had to close for good. I tried regular coffee but it tastes too acidic and I know they used espresso to make it. So time to find the right beans and run some taste tests. Thanks for the video! Your latte looks delicious and gives me hope for my future moka.
Coffee snobs: No milk and sugar allowed. If you add milk or sugar you are not qualified to drink coffee. No, you may not ever drink coffee the way you personally want without me judging you
I wondered if anyone had tried using two filters. I will defo try this now. Have you tried frothing warm milk in an old cafetiere/French press? About 10 secs with vigorous up/down is better than the whizzer, and with a bit of technique you can get a thicker foam for a flat white!
I've been doing this method for 2 years. I dont put a filter on top of the puck though. If you use fresh ground you dont have any issues. I use my old grinder to smack them down and spin the aeropress when i pour the water so you dont get a crater.
![โฮ่ง! (SUGOI) - LYKN [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nFp4zjAARFs/mqdefault.jpg)
Push the water until just a drop of coffee comes out.
Stop pressing and wait 20 seconds.
Push to finish. This infuses the puck. Changes the flavor.
I got the best result by doing this. Thank you
Just a thought!.....if you are traveling with your aeropress, you could fill the spice bottle with coffee grounds and use as a tamper and container.
carolyn veliz Haha! That's an awesome idea!
genuis idea carolyn!
You'd better make sure to clean it really, really well, though. Otherwise, it'll ruin the flavor of the coffee. Of course, if you're using some cheap, not freshly roasted coffee beans, then it won't matter either way.

Well try it young man who wants to be spoon-fed. You may just figure it out all by yourself. You may have your own taste.
You can probably figure it out after one or two tries and experimenting? It's not hard to figure out trial and error...

They make a metal wire mesh filter so that the paper filter doesn't soak up the oils from the coffee. Just FYI if you really want to keep the oils
French Press / Coffee Plunger seems to do a better job at texturing milk than a milk wand. Wand tends to produce stiff foam whereas the press can get it smooth and velvety.
It cannot make this espresso but it does make very good coffee. I have been using the same Aeropress for about 4 years.

Not really digging the rest of your videos, but as a real coffee lover this one just blow my mind! Thanks for this priceless info mate!
Excellent video. And excellent recipe! Best one I have found. Thanks so much.
most of the time the top filter above the grounds loosens up at the point where the buoyancy from the water makes it weigh less and less - kinda frustrating. I'm using a different seasoning salt shaker but still quite similar bottom. Which version / release / whatever of the aeropress is this? I have an older one that is not as wide as the newer could that be it?
I tried this out today and it turned out yummy, glad I found this video! I like to enjoy my coffee iced and with syrup but a little kick to it/not so mellow. I was wondering if from experience you had any tips on how to keep the filter from floating upwards once I add the water? (perhaps I did not tamp hard enough?) I will try again pretty soon
Tears of JOY. Tried this first time today. WOW It really does work. At first I thought I was watching a magic show with your video. Yes I'm a bit skeptical, born from the show me era. Well I've created a new LIST "curious Must See by Others" on my channel, and of course this is the first on it. Plus added a post about it on my FB page. Yep I'm one of those that loves coffee. Thank you again. (With TH-cam I feel like the man who is up to his neck in alligators because he forgot to drain the swamp. Housekeeping day today.) Again GREAT VIDEO. Also going to follow your color grading tutorials and do my best to understand what you are talking about as I have loads to learn... TY
Best espresso hack EVER!
Great video - I'm optimistic that I too might achieve crema with my Aeropress. So far I haven't had much luck. I can't seem to create a seal tight enough to keep the water from mixing with the coffee when poured onto that top filter. In your video, the water sits right on top of it perfectly. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Your silicone plunger end is wore out. Order one from Aeropress for $4.95 plus shipping.
You must make a lot of coffee.
What's the coffee/water ratio did you use?
I just bought an Aeropress and have it on its first test run business trip. Destroys hotel coffee. I am trying the "two-filter-compression technique next. Thanks for the great idea!
Is there measurements in this video? I can't seem to find any.
I just got my knock-off YuroPress from Alibaba. Had a few extra accessories and the directions were a little basic. I'm trying to recreate a white chocolate moca I had from a small cafe that, thanks to COVID, had to close for good. I tried regular coffee but it tastes too acidic and I know they used espresso to make it. So time to find the right beans and run some taste tests. Thanks for the video! Your latte looks delicious and gives me hope for my future moka.
Coffee snobs: No milk and sugar allowed. If you add milk or sugar you are not qualified to drink coffee. No, you may not ever drink coffee the way you personally want without me judging you
nice try
1 of best espresso hack...!!! Amazing..
Awesome tutorial. I was thinking something like this would work with the aeropress, but couldn't find a video on it. Well done, sir!
My Aeropress doesn't have numbers on the plunger, only the outer cylinder. Do I have a fake or is that how they're making them now?
HOW DARE YOU NOT MAKE COFFEE EXACTLY THE WAY I PERSONALLY LIKE TO DRINK COFFEE! -way too many commenters
Well, I mean, the title says "REAL" espresso, and how that works is more or less precisely defined already! I think it’s cool anyway though.
Exactly! They can’t let people enjoy things
coffee snobs on youtube just has to be coffee snobs. This is their entire identity
I wondered if anyone had tried using two filters. I will defo try this now. Have you tried frothing warm milk in an old cafetiere/French press? About 10 secs with vigorous up/down is better than the whizzer, and with a bit of technique you can get a thicker foam for a flat white!
I've been doing this method for 2 years.
I dont put a filter on top of the puck though. If you use fresh ground you dont have any issues. I use my old grinder to smack them down and spin the aeropress when i pour the water so you dont get a crater.
I have been using an aeropress for 3 years. This first time I saw that trick. I have to give that a try
Thank you Casey!
Nice tip!
I do this every day! Thanks Casey!
Great tutorial! I just sold my espresso machine to make some extra money and now I’m missing it! Appreciate the help and pos vibes!
i loved it its completely out of the box :D the brew/beverage looks great
Whats wrong with a one touch machine that delivers better coffe than a plastic tube :) Resolve?
How do you not explode the cup and the table with that much pressure?
This is great! Thank you for the tutorial. :)
Why not compress the ground coffee with plunger of aero press itself? Why use salt bottle?
My guess is that the plunger is too flush, so when you remove it, then the puck will fall apart from the negative pressure.
Really good idea for my aeropress!!! I maked delicious espresso style without creama, but I will training It!!!)) thanks from Russia))
Thanks. Will try it tomorrow.
