Great vid! I would advise against 4:45. A lot of times it can slip and spill hot water everywhere. Burnt myself this way a while back. Solution is to just put the filter cap on first then empty the air.
It is really similar to the recipe I enjoy every morning at home for quite some time. 80 degree C makes the final coffee taste very, very sweet and gives a pleasant texture. Brewing at really elevated temperatures (close to boiling) results in coffee which is less sweet but has more complexity. Those observation and my morning routine is directly inspired by the videos about aeropress from James Hoffmann channel, where he find exactly this influence of the water temperature on the final brew. I was only surprised that I enjoyed the 80 degree brew better than 95+ degree brew which was preferred by James.
Wow. That produced one seriously sweet cup - and that was without the water treatment! I used a different recipe and a much hotter temperature prior to this and it was like a completely different bean.
Is there a reliable resource on the web that shows the differences in getting sizes? I have a different grinder and would like to be able to compare, but the grind wasn't shown in close up detail before brewing in this video. Thanks!
I tried this with a dry process Ethiopian this morning. The ratio of 18g/200g is higher than what I usually do which is 15.5g/220g and not inverted. I still prefer my standard method but fun to try new ones. I brew just a bit hotter at 85C. My a-p was bought in 2007 and used 3x / day - fantastic little brewer!
I tried this recipe. Sour and under-extracted. Hmmm. I'll try to adjust grind size. I find it counter intuitive. With a med-course grind setting and 80 C, I would think it difficult to get a proper extraction from a light roast. I would think fine grind size would be better. Thanks for video. Fun stuff. 🤎 Update: I tried this method with medium roast and I like the result. Nice!
My brew was delicious! I generally prefer a nuttier, richer, more chocolate-y taste to my coffee, and this recipe did not disappoint! It was pleasantly sweet, syrupy, and had balanced fruity finish. I used Guatemalan Bourbon.
This is the first coffee recipe where I felt like I could clearly taste the roasters tasting notes, with a balanced satisfying coffee taste/bitterness and not just pure acidity. Light roasts are certainly a challenge to get an even extraction from
Just tried this recipe (still new to aeropress) it is great! I will try a feww more times before I really see how I like it moving forward… could be my main technique now… inverted still scares me every time tho…
Just gave this a go with a Brazilian Gesha. Very interesting! The mouthfeel is incredibly smooth so I 100% agree with the texture being the feature here. Of course the flavor is still excellent, as I find this method balances out fruitier notes, just depends on what you’re in the mood for! But I normally cannot brew this sort of mouthfeel in my own cups so this recipe is awesome to add to the repertoire.
I just tried it with a really old coffee that I’m trying to use up and even that tasted good! I just used water from my basic Amazon water filter. I can’t imagine how much better it will taste with a fresh roasted, fruity coffee🤠
The method of brewing is one I hadn’t tried and the timing of everything seemed to be just right. And that’s what I would describe the end result “just right” it was very delicious as if I had bought my coffee at a coffee shop.
ikr! Every time I watch a aeropress video on this channel I want to get one. For now I am very satisfied with V60 and moka pot but I think soon I will be getting one.
I try Areopress and then clever dripper for the first two brews from my bag of beans. Which ever method tastes better, is used for the rest of the bag ❤️☕
Do you think the texture comes mostly from the Third Wave mineral packet? I feel like when following recipes, the water is the most significant variable that I usually do not match.
Wow, this recipe is really relpicable with similar coffee. I have used Rawanda, Nyakabingo, Washed and it's really producing body and mouthfeel as it's been demonstrated. THANKS AND KEEP IT UP FOR CONTENT LIKE THIS...Much appreciation from Australia 🙏🏼
For the competition recipe it make sense because you cool coffee down and mix it (for judges to try at the certain consitions). It’s less important for brewing at home but give it a try.
Guys , thanks for the video! I wonder if any adaptation is required if I'm using a lower amount of coffee, keeping the water the same ? has anyone tried with JX pro grinder ? What grind setting did you use ?
Thank you for the video. I will definitely give this method a try. It does seem that you need more coffee than what you would usually use at home (brew ratio is 1:11). I guess this is balanced out by the coarser grind and the lower brew temperature.
I'm definitely going to try this out, but one thing that always kind of gets me about the aeropress championship cups is the amount of coffee required. 18g for a ~200ml cup is a little ridiculous. Sure I might try it out, but I'm not going to be using that much coffee for a single cup everyday.
How should I adjust this recipe if I got the aeropress GO which has a smaller volume? Can I just reduce the amount of beans and water according to the same ratio?
The different approach to the water temperature is really interesting, I'll definitely give it a try :) Also, it makes me think, what would be an impact of the initial pour at 80 degrees and then heating the water to ~100
I just had some pour over at a cafe shop where the barista actually did different temperatures but starting hot and then "cold". He literally poured room temperature water on the last 50ml to slow extraction, and result was very sweet with clear plum notes and mild acidity
I tried this and it was much better than what I usually make with my aeropress. My hunch is what made this so much better than mine was the temp of the water and the upsidedown brewing
Great video! And as always very well explained and demonstrated by Tomo. Thank you. I do have a query unrelated to this but related to coffee tasting. I buy various specialty coffee to expand my palette, I can taste the differences but I have idea how to develop a vocabulary or even find the common tasting tones between two coffee. The way Tomo describe the rich body and extraction I have no idea how I know what I am tasting. Do you have a video to help me understand or can you make one? I understand I need to set a baseline first to start defining the difference but no idea how and where to start.
I’ve been searching for this myself and it seems like Tim Wendelboe does a lot in this area, including a podcast he did in April about how to use the coffee flavor wheel. Good luck. and please let me know if you find anything! I’m afraid I’ll need to do an actual class to really learn how to describe what I’m tasting.
@@lizrosenblum6167 Thank you. I will definitely listen to that podcast especially that episode. So I will share what I know about how to better understand what we should be tasting in your coffee. Understanding extraction, what is good and bad extraction. For this I will refer you to the channel 'Brewing Habits' they have two videos related to it. "What does good and bad coffee taste like?" and "The Basics of coffee Extraction". And in regards to coffee tasting, we need to get aroma, acidity, sweetness, texture and flavor from which so far I only understand aroma and acidity. But James Hoffmann's guide to coffee tasting covers its quite well too. I will look into Tim's videos and episode you shared, rewatch James's video and hopefully have some more understanding to try in few days when I order a new bag of coffee. Will share more as I learn more. Thank you again. Keep me updated with your coffee journey too. A hands on class really might make things easy.
This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.
Even at 24 clicks, this recipe came out rather rancid. Is it because I used normal filtered water instead of third wave? Or are Indian coffees harder to extract? Or anything else?
Indian coffees struggle when lightly roasted, I'm not sure why it is but its just how it has been for me.. Tried over a dozen roasters and most of the light roasts were disappointing.. General lack of body and flavor.. See if you can get your hands on African or South American beans, it will surely be a different experience. There's a roastery called Kaffa Cerrado that might interest you.
Nice! Your videos should be seen by more watchers. May I repost your channel without changing anything on the clean platform named Ganjing World? Thank you!
Good video - thank you guys. That said, all these aeropress recipes start to bore me a little (not specifically on your channel). I feel like most of them end up giving pretty similar results and most people just convince themselves that they are making the difference.
It’s a fun game with all the recipes - the best thing about the AeroPress brewing (for me) is that it’s very forgiving. Just brewed this morning without any scale and coffee tasted good.
@@EuropeanCoffeeTrip Oh yeah, definitely pretty forgiving. That said, I think that people should not focus on recipes that much since they are generally pretty similar and often with questionable results. I think that it would be much more worhy for most people to learn how to brew different beans and to think of a recipe more in terms of what they want to achieve with their current beans instead of replicating a recipes that are supposed to somehow magically give them the best out of every bean. Just like with espresso - you have some general rules according to the roast but it's all up to a taste, not to "swirl two and a half times and touch your nose" type of magic.
The "best" AeroPress recipe is still the one used by the inventor of the AeroPress itself. It works beautifully... what's all this other nonsense about? Much ado about absolutely nothing.
It’s a great and simple one!! I also like James Hoffmann’s recipe. But at the end of the day experimenting with the aeropress is so much fun, and it depends on your personal taste as well.
@@EuropeanCoffeeTrip its still very hot water regardless. Over 70 degrees it is toxic to expose plastic to it. WEDNESDAY, Jan. 30 (HealthDay News) -- Exposing plastic bottles to boiling water can release a potentially harmful chemical 55 times faster than normal, new research suggests. Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in the plastics that make up water bottles, baby bottles, and other food and drink packaging.

This is a version of Tetsu Kasuya Aeropress recipe! I should know, because I use it! th-cam.com/video/2C7svyKImiI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ANvneq1-MtdkxeW_ I use 29 clicks on commandante, 200g East Los Angeles Alkalined Tap Water, 20g coffee, bloom 40g 30 seconds, stir 5 times, then fill up 200g water, stir 5 times steep 1 minute then plunge 30 seconds. Add 100g water after the plunge, and airate to another cup... Its literally the same recipe!
Great vid! I would advise against 4:45. A lot of times it can slip and spill hot water everywhere. Burnt myself this way a while back. Solution is to just put the filter cap on first then empty the air.
Yes, we do it that way but we wanted to follow the champ’s instructions. It’s better to be safe, we agree!
That made me wince too!
That freaked me out too. Just asking for a disaster with my skills :)

Just tried this as accurately as possible. Well worth it
Hi -- where is the coffee cup/glass in the video from?
Please tell me, is it coarser than sugar? maybe you are familiar with the timemore c3esp coffee grinder, what settings will it have?
Another Awesome European Coffee Trip Video Thankkk Youuu soo much I needed another way to prepare Aeropress Thank You
I just tried it with a really old coffee that I’m trying to use up and even that tasted good! I just used water from my basic Amazon water filter. I can’t imagine how much better it will taste with a fresh roasted, fruity coffee🤠

Do you think the texture comes mostly from the Third Wave mineral packet? I feel like when following recipes, the water is the most significant variable that I usually do not match.
Is the grind size with the red clix on the comandante?
Standard I think. Redclix is15 microns per click and standard is 30 microns per click
Wow, this recipe is really relpicable with similar coffee. I have used Rawanda, Nyakabingo, Washed and it's really producing body and mouthfeel as it's been demonstrated. THANKS AND KEEP IT UP FOR CONTENT LIKE THIS...Much appreciation from Australia 🙏🏼
Any rules of thumb when converting Comandante C40 clicks to Wilfa Uniform clicks?
I have the Capresso Infinity grinder. Are you familiar with this grinder? I grind at 12 or 13 and was wondering what you would choose. Thank you
did you use the Comandante MK3 or MK4? I found that MK4 grinds a bit courser on the same setting? Thanks
Does swirling at the and and pouring from the altitude truly change the taste, or is it done for another reason?
For the competition recipe it make sense because you cool coffee down and mix it (for judges to try at the certain consitions). It’s less important for brewing at home but give it a try.
Yes. And the key here is OXYGEN
When you pour high coffee oxidates, as wine does. The result is a smoother, sweeter taste
It's almost similar to this my recipe, mine I used 92 degree, 18g/225g total 2min medium coarse
Guys , thanks for the video!
I wonder if any adaptation is required if I'm using a lower amount of coffee, keeping the water the same ?
has anyone tried with JX pro grinder ? What grind setting did you use ?
It would be great if you measure the tds and please give the grind size based on kruve or microns since not every one has commandante.
Tweaked this slightly. 90c water but loved the clarity in the cup. Banging 🎉
do I have to buy the brewista gooseneck kettle or I can just use a normal pitcher ?
Brewed on the comandante, with a washed guatemalan coffee (no tww tho), and I gotta say this is the sweetest cup of coffee I've ever had!
Amazing coffee recipe. Thank you. Extremely well scripted and produced vid, too! Par excellence!

How should I adjust this recipe if I got the aeropress GO which has a smaller volume? Can I just reduce the amount of beans and water according to the same ratio?
Yes, that should work, just keep the ratio.
Amazing recipe, I can’t wait to use the water packets
hello, not sure if this is a ridiculous request, but what's the size in microns of your grind? i want to translate it into my 1zpresso jmax
You post highly instructive material and practicing with it has very interesting results👍
The different approach to the water temperature is really interesting, I'll definitely give it a try :) Also, it makes me think, what would be an impact of the initial pour at 80 degrees and then heating the water to ~100
i was thinking this too!
I just had some pour over at a cafe shop where the barista actually did different temperatures but starting hot and then "cold". He literally poured room temperature water on the last 50ml to slow extraction, and result was very sweet with clear plum notes and mild acidity
Will this work with the classic profile of Third Wave Water?
What is the point of swirling the coffee afterwards and pouring from a height? Seems superfluous
All coffee is good if you savour with gratitude as if its your last
Coffee and water?
Thank you.
How does it matter? 19gm 52 secs 180 secs 201 gms?
i would've liked a comparison between the winning recipe and your recipe as well
Great I'm Burundi I'm Barista the video is helpful
I tried this and it was much better than what I usually make with my aeropress. My hunch is what made this so much better than mine was the temp of the water and the upsidedown brewing

Ok, so I'm only 22 seconds into the video, but let me guess... The recipe makes something that tastes like coffee
Looks weak and underextracted …I would never waste coffee this way smh
Ha, rinsing aeropress filters does literally nothing to the taste of the coffee, judges senses have to really be special :)
For this method, it mainly helps the filter paper stick to the cap when you invert it and lock into the aeropress. Why are you so pompous?
It helps sticl the filter, if you dont do it, when you flip the aero the filter will fall off
Bro that's tea
So whats the logic behind it? color?
18:200 is fairly high in terms of ratio…
