I've had an interesting (slightly sleepless) 1st week with the aeropress.
The main difference (to a mokapot) is how flexible it is. It's very easy to make good coffee one minute, bad coffee the next.
I'm yet to get onto my 'nice' beans so will save the MokaVsAero showdown for once I feel I've got a method nailed. The method I seem to be settling on for getting single shots is as follows;
15g ground fine (two notches from closed on a Hario Skerton mill).
50ml of water (2mins off the boil cooling in the cup).
Rinsed paper filter.
A gentle stir just to wet all the grounds.
15 seconds, then press (all the way).
It's not like a drink from my favourite barista, but it's almost as good as I got from my Bialette already.
Keen to hear ideas for improvement.
