  • I’ve been trying out Lance Hedrick’s Aeropress method for older or darker roasts where you use a ton of very coarsely-ground coffee, fairly cool water and get it through the Aeropress quickly.

    I think my main takeaway is that I’ve not been grinding coarsely enough. However, 25g of coffee is a LOT of coffee to use for the resulting beverage. 20g and leaving it to steep for longer yields just as much beverage, similar taste, but uses 20% less coffee in the process.

  • Under-extraction is the key for any coffees that are a bit toasty. Monmouth filter recipe is 26g / 250ml running through in about 3 mins for pour over. That’s why it tastes good there but burnt when you make it with a modern recipe at home.
