  • not actually making an espresso

    No duh. Making a comparison in this specific scenario makes total sense. They are both forms of short, strong coffee. He used the moka pot coffee to make an americano, which is normally an espresso based drink. So of course I’m going to compare them. I would not compare them to a cup of filter coffee because that’s an entirely different drink. Both espresso and the moka pot use pressure as a means to push water through grounds. Filter is obviously immersion. I think the comparison is pretty sensical 🥴

    Where does the Aeropress sit here?

  • Well, for me, it’s an immersion brewer as I use it inverted. Yes, I know I’m using pressure to push the water through grounds but that’s just the nature of the brewer. I could just as easily let the coffee drip through by itself. Which I have done before.
