If you're wondering why we used coarse grind for the Aeropress, you can find an answer to your question here ---> th-cam.com/video/JEs8nkb0eQs/w-d-xo.html
If you like stronger coffee, you should use fine grind, and even espresso grind... you should not wait to press, or hold for 1 minute, as that causes the acidic flavor to come out... just press slower... also I will point out that you filled the Aeropress upside down... this is based on my experience. Also get a metal mesh filter, so you get the oils from the coffee, and you will have an exceptional coffee...
@@AdamDavid "...you filled the Aeropress upside down..."
That's the way to do it when you're making "full immersion" coffee (French Press style) as opposed to making espresso.
I am too distracted thinking about how many people are drinking from the same cups :x
"Am I being punked" 4:20. Yes. Yes you are.
I'm more distracted thinking why the guy has a pair of apple air tags in his ears.. and how he managed to get a hold of them back in 2019 when the video was made.
Quite amazing. But I like it. Gives hope in days were people are still confronting eachother with masks in.
Exactly. Most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen
Same
Why didn't you stir the Areopress? The agitation of the Areopress is an important aspect.
1st sip: smooth, sour tones. Hint of black currant.
2nd sip: rounded. Bright. Hint of saliva

I rewinded 5 times to listen to the guy in the black shirt say '"mmMMmmmm" after every sip
2:36 Actually, it's more "mmm. MMmm, MMmm, MMmm." Can't really do it justice without musical notation!
I rewinded 5 times to see the short-haired princess that appears tasting at the beginning
Rewound*
He sounded like Yoda after taking a cough drop!
I'm in this video, and I think its so funny to go back and watch this post pandemic. We thought nothing of sharing the mugs. I mean he wiped em off, but honestly it was just fun.
first thought: super spreaders over there... 🤙😎
I'm sorry are you from the future? "Post pandemic"? It's 8 months after your comment and we're still in this shit 😂
Lol super spreader. I think you guys will be just fine.
I honestly wouldn’t have shared a cup pre-pandemic either 🤣 but it definitely hits different watching this video for the first time in 2022
@@rebeccafrazer6738 I recently tasted a friends coffee from the mug he was drinking out of. It felt VERY wrong, but also kinda lovely.
You sure they're tasting coffee, and not other people's after taste🤤
Mugs were thoroughly wiped down after each use! In the future, everyone will have their own cups.
Thanks for watching!
Yes but all of their lips touched the liquid
It's amazing to think how a company, Aerobie, can make frisbees and a dog toy called Dogobie, as well as an iconic coffee brewer such as the Aeropress. Thank you, Alan Adler.
the noises the guy in the black shirt remind me of villagers in minecraft lol
Hurrrrr
Watching this in 2021 and cringing at the shared drink 😱
I've noticed that they almost always pick the last one they tasted...
th-cam.com/video/3O4xFg-mC6I/w-d-xo.html
The temperature of the drink has an effect on taste. ( the temp for an Aeropress brew is much lower than Chemex) How did you account for that?
It would have been funny to give them the same coffee in both cups and see how many tasted a "difference"
Unfortunately, in this video we didn't account for that, but you're totally right!
In an upcoming video, we had our testers come to us, and reduced the time between brew and taste.
Maybe in the future we can have a rematch!
Agreed, you should rematch 😁
I think you can get similar results with each, the recipes used were vastly different...and understandable, but for me a chemex can get a more clean taste with a 1:15 or 1:16 ratio, 201F(94C) and brewing about half as much
Medium grind(for me 5.6 out of 10 from my grinder)
I thought I loved pour over coffee until I bought myself an aeropress and dont think I could ever go back!
Hi, are they super bitter? or bitter at all? I'm looking at them for my birthday
You both preferred your second sip, this was probably down to your taste buds being primed by the first.
I was also wondering if/to what degree the order of tasting affected the results. They ought to correct for that in future taste-offs.
who brews aeropress that coarse lol
Pretty sure this is the recipe from the 2016 Aeropress competition: th-cam.com/video/Ay5O5s4obAE/w-d-xo.html
35g to 150g water seems nuts to me, even for immersion brewing. Nearly a 1:4 ratio. 1:14-15 is typically recommended for immersion brewing.
@@JuggleAddict In that recipe, at least, you end up diluting with another ~100g water at the end. Definitely a high ratio regardless, but that seems to be somewhat fashionable with Aeropress nowadays: large ratios, coarse grinds.
Jacob MacDonald and boy, they are the best cups I’ve ever had
Our next video answers this very question! Keep an eye out for that, should be up soon.
In the future you should try to equalise the ratio and temperature (and serving vessel, maybe pour both from identical Hario servers). Otherwise you may be comparing the recipes more than the brewers themselves. Also, you don't show in the video how much water you add to the Aeropress coffee after the brewing
This is what CHAZ thought life would be like without the police.
HHAAAAHAAA Winner comment!
This is what they would do with their time because they're utterly useless.
35grams of coffee in the aero press 😅
Ew so many people drank from the same mugs!
Just as when I use my French press, I steep the coffee in my Areopress for 4 minutes also. PS: the Chemex coffee looked WAY weak.
Chemex coffee looks that way because of much thicker filter so coffee it produces has more clarity. This test just shows preferenece over a certain coffee, not brewing method in ma opinion.
I Love my AeroPress! I use the metal fine screen filter instead of the paper. I usually grind my coffee between course and medium. I jave tried a few others but always go back to tje AeroPress.
read what the inventor says about metal filters and cholesterol.
What kind of roast goes best with aeropress?
@@Peter-uk3sp I like the darker roast and ground just a little fine but not super fine like the Caffe blends.
@@MrTrisdiastatos the inventor is awesome but he is no expert on cholesterol lol.
I can't believe what you just did. Why did you compare a full brewed coffee from chemex to a DILUTED coffee from the aeropress, even though you could have done a full brew from the aeropress to have a fair comparison? When you dilute the coffee coming from the aeropress, the coffee becomes a lot sweeter and the difference between a full brew and semi brew diluted is amusing. That's just not fair
that guy in the black... lol
Aeropress = overrated re-invention of the wheel...
The coffee it makes is really consistent.
They should take the same people and do a cilantro test - there has to be some major taste preferences here on who tastes what, very interesting.
That's a good idea!
I have Chemex, Bialetti Moka Stovetop, Aeropress and Aeropress is definitely my pick among them.
Oh, I have a question these days about if I should buy a Bialetti Moka pot or Aeropress. I like strong, dark coffee, like espresso, would you mind give me an advice which one I should buy?
I own both, a Chemex and an Aeropress, and use both almost daily. I use my Chemex in the morning when I'm making two cups, and the Aeropress either at work or at home if I only want one cup. I like both for different reasons, I like how clean and smooth the Chemex is, but I like the ease of brewing and the more full-bodied rounder taste of the Aeropress. I tell everyone I can about both, hyping both up equally
Redo this blind taste test with Europeans. You might have to do it with different countries: Germans, French and Italians.
Then make 2 identical cups and do the same taste test with the folks at the office 😁
Did you just throw away the recommended AeroPress instructions? Comparing the AeroPress to another method and using wrong amount of beans, grind, water ratio, water temp, didn't stir, steep time... Experimentation is great any other time but on a comparison, pointless!
Hey guys try it with the same coloured mug. Apparently in an experiment done some time ago with a white, glass and blue mug all with the same coffee the white mug tasted bitter compared to the glass and blue mug. Color of the mug can affect taste perception.
That’s hilarious
@@sparks6177 True though
You should use sam cups....i hate to drink from black cup ....don't see anything
What was the reasoning behind the 1:13 ratio? Seems pretty heavy on the coffee side. Just curious.
Wait, I love Post Coffee! It's my favorite place to go whenever I am back home
We love them too!
...as I drink my Aeropress. Thanks for putting in the work.
Who is the Edward Norton looking dude? And the girl at 4:10 is dreamy😌👍
I had suspected that temperature was an important variable not being controlled for, and the receptionist seemed to confirm that
This is just disgusting. I can't even focus on what you're trying to compare.
7 to 5 is not statistically meaningful; the sample size is too small and the difference too little to demonstrate the superiority of one method over the other. If you were to repeat the test, even with the same people, on a different day you might get different results.
Should have been these in a thermos for the test
You've all been turned into germaphobes. lmao Nice job media.
With such a short brew time of 1:30 for the aeropress I think it’s much better with a finer grind. Something at or finer than a pour over coarseness
That's a good call out Wesley. We used Filip Kucharczyk's recipe from his 2016 world championship and it leant itself really nicely to the coffee. We definitely mix it up with different coffees though. What's your go to recipe?
I'd never brew coffee in plastic. Chemex is healthier too as it removes the bad oils.
Fun video thanks, but no scientist would sign off on this test. a. Results were so close they are utterly inconclusive (aka meaningless) b. the test samples should be served in same colour cups at the same temperature. c. same test should be repeated x >= 3 d. the order in which the cups are offered should be alternated.
The inventor of the Aeropress states NOT to push hard on the presser. Just apply light pressure.
it seems bizzarre that people found the aeropress LESS acidic. the chemex is famous for absolutely demolishing the acidity of coffee and people that dislike acidity absolutely love the chemex. weird to watch this. makes me wonder how much value there is in OTHER peoples experiencing something vs your own experience.
Great point, Mihir. 🤔
Good point Mihir. I think alot of people are just used to your standard burnt dark roast pike place beans so when the chemex comes along and tastes nothing like it then they don't think it's 'proper' coffee. I can't wait to get my hands on a chemex......soon.
Wait a minute, no... Aeropress makes THE lowest acidity coffee when used properly with a paper filter. It’s what it is known for. So confused! I was thinking the same thing you said, but in exact reversal!! I hate Chemex coffee consistently. It makes even great beans taste like my mom’s oxidized old Folgers drip brew after two hours in the heated carafe. Intelligentsia light roast lover here, FTR.
arrowpress probably tasted like plastic and cold sores . yucky
Great experiment! These are my two options, so this is a very helpful video. I guess each can still be tweaked with different grind sizes and both would probably be good!
What's with the camera shake? Guys ... get a tripod.
Somoenes getting mono or worse yikes
Are they really all drinking from the same cups?
I love how everyone says the same shit about each one oh that one has more flavor and then another person said the other one does haha
35g/150g? What the hell are you doing??
People's rate buds, noses and brains are soooooo different!
I love your kitchen!!
No one cleansed their palette between tastings! Waste of time.
So in otherwords:
Some people like full bodied coffee
Wouldn't you have had to stir it up with the Aeropress?
My issue with the aero press is that it’s plastic. No thanks
Aeropressed coffee has 1 5th the amount of acidity then drip
where are you from? grams and farenheits same time?!
Can you repeate the test with the same ratio :) pls
Must try v60 much better
not really
Much better than Chemex, and almost as good as Aeropress.
why didn't they ask any men to take part in the taste test
Mmmmmmmm
I wonder if the order of tasting has a bearing on preference'?
What company is this that you had the taste test in? Looks like a cool place to work.
How many old men have you tasted?
It's like beer vs wine drinkers.
Who wants to use plastic not me
These guys are pushing me for some cups of Coffee, 😁😁😁
Yo! Oddly correct! That's my local spot they make great stuff.
So many other things come into play here that make your taste test fraught with perception. Best situation would be all the coffee tasters try the coffee within minutes of each other in the same place (coffee room) but if you can't do that at the very least you should use the Same color and shape of cup. First five people get brand A" first and Second five people get brand B"" first. Serve the coffee on a serving tray.
Totally! We've since worked on a solution for this, and we'll be implementing it in future videos.
Thanks for watching!
Aeropress by a mile
Dam where do you work? A lot of cuties
team aeropress
Aeropress didn't win statistically. Still can determine if it's not 50/50. So, with that few people tasting, you would need 10 tasters out of 12 to prefer Aeropress over Chemex to get a standard p < 0.05 level. Or, to put it a different way, if 5 folks preferred Chemex, then you would need 15 other folks to prefer Aeropress reach the p < 0.05 level (so that would be a total of 20 tasters). If there is a preference, it is probably small, and you would need to have a lot of tasters to find it. So, we didn't really learn anyway from this video....
Scottie hmmmm.
Aeropress 👌
If two people always agree, there isn't a use for one of the people!
I think there could be a round two, with a tweaked ratio for the chemex
For 8 oz, try approx 14 g grinds with approx 280 g water, same bloom time, use a goose neck to be able to pour just little bits and you won't get that watered down effect
Double for a bigger brew, but only if your cup can fit it
You did not do a fair comparison because it is not the product that won. It is the brewing method. How can infusion drip surpass the extraction of infusion and pressure. Also, your coffee to water ratios were off. For fun, it's ok. Have fun. I bet on the aeropress.
Great production value for a channel with less than 200 subs. Good news guys, I think you got on the algorithm
Thank you! The algorithm can be particularly difficult to please
Hey! What was the recipe used for aeropress?
Hey there!
This is the Chemex recipe www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/chemex-brew-guide
And here is the Aeropress recipe th-cam.com/video/Ay5O5s4obAE/w-d-xo.html
You can make aeropress vs v60
Talal Aljabri v60 is pretty much the same as chemex. There both a pour over method compares to the pressure method of the aero press.
Vlog Central this is true but chemex has way way thicker filters so it steals a bit more body from the cup
Wesley McElheney learn something new everyday :-) I thoroughly enjoy using my aeropress it’s my go to method when I’m away from home and at work. Makes a great cup of coffee at the office.
Vlog Central I swear V60 and Chemex are a big big difference. personally I don’t like the Chemex but I love the V60
big different indeed .... i actually think Chemex make steady good coffee and hard to fuck up... V60 is very varied and harder to control result... if you like cleaner cup lighter body go with Chemex.. but you can also achieve that with V60 too
I recognized one of your coworkers. I've been to your workplace before!! 😊
SO YOU DID NOT READ AEROPRESS INSTRUCTIONS NOT 197 DEGREES BUT 175 And ratio
half these doods add mad sugar and cream.
Do you guys exclusively hire cute chicks there? Damn that first chick was cute.
someone really said the chemex was fuller bodied than the aeropress
I wonder how the temperature effected the flavor as it was past around.
it would be great if you followed the instructions as there is imho no comparison with the aeropress.
They should be able to clean their palate between coffees.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.. Great broll.. I'm guessing you're a fan of Peter McKinnon as well?
Hi David!
I (the video editor) am a huge fan of Peter McKinnon, so I really appreciate your compliment on my B-Roll sequence! (:
We'd also love for him to test our app that's in the works. 📱

Areopress all the way
Great design off kitchen tiles!
Whats the name of the song???
And one taste like plastic
Test is not double blin 😳
Chemex > Aeropress!
