Coffee Appreciation

Roughly I'd say it should be similar to a V60 pourover but less 'clean' with more body, perhaps a heavier mouthfeel. Most decent coffee shops offer either V60 or Aeropress as the 'filter' choice so that might give you an idea of their similarity. A lovely black coffee that isn't hot water drowning a beautiful espresso.

Time-wise, as you can see from this page everyone has different ideas! I kind of see it as a method that should be quicker than a pourover as there's active pressure involved, so I wouldn't want to go over a 90 second steeptime.

And as you currently smash the espressos I wouldn't bother trying anything remotely similar to espresso on the Aeropress.

Do you work at Monmouth?

Monmouth? I wish! Heh. The cafe I work for serves Monmouth, so I'm currently trying to get onto as many of their training sessions as I can convince my boss to send me on....

Thanks for the tips! I was kind of feeling that way about the body/mouthfeel stuff (my efforts so far seem a bit thin) and I've been hovering around the 90s/2min mark, so I'll keep fiddling. Got some little sample bags of a few different Monmouth coffees, so should help me break away from the espresso!
