Coffee Appreciation

I could do but as dan said about the viscosity, I'd rather prefer aeropress to start off things.

I think Dan was saying you get something more akin to espresso from a mocha pot than an aeropress, which I though you said was what you were looking for?

Obviously it depends, I go for a fine blend of dark beans and I stop the pot as soon as the first bubble spits out, which basically gives you something pretty close to espresso. Thick, with crema, bitter.

I could leave it on for longer and get about twice as much coffee before it burns (and sometimes I do), but it makes it more watery than I normally feel like.

The French press is pretty much just for guests, particularly my mum who likes her coffee watery and bland.

I've only had a couple of coffees from aeropresses, but personally I prefer the mocha pot.
