Coffee 101

An AeroPress Master-Class


Listen Later

For this episode, Kenneth sits down for an AeroPress masterclass with Jeremy Moore of Bonlife Coffee in Cleveland, TN. In 2014, Jeremy was the US AeroPress champion and competed in the world championships. Last year, Kenneth placed 4th in the US AeroPress Championship, so they both have lots of experience and a passion for this way of brewing. You’ll learn tons from them!
They explain the benefits of this brew method, including how to use it to make the best coffee while traveling, comparing the inverted and traditional methods, and how to vary the strength.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Alan Adler, an engineer from Stanford, invented the AeroPress to help him brew a better cup of coffee.
  • The AeroPress Go is great for traveling. 
  • Take an enamel coffee cup with you when traveling - it won´t break.
  • An AeroPress enables you to vary cup strength. How is discussed in the episode.
  • Squeeze down onto the puck at the end to prevent dripping coffee on your kitchen counter when done.

 BEST MOMENTS
‘He thought - what if you could actually control things yourself and actually even plunge the water over the puck? ´
‘I adjusted my brew method for the championship based on the coffee used.’
‘It´s a pretty self-contained, low-mess brewer.’
