Review on ☕️ AEROPRESS Coffee and Espresso Maker - Rapidly Brews Tasty Coffee Without Bitterness - Ideal for Brewing 1 to 3 Cups by Tony Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love my Aeropress + Altura screen (sold separately) - see my usage tips!

I only recently started drinking coffee due to a strong craving during my last pregnancy for a taste that I have hated all my life. I'm serious - I hated the smell and taste of coffee. But thanks to the miraculous changes that take place with hormones, I suddenly wanted it all the time. After trying the Mr. Coffee Keurig, which I also bought here at Revain, I almost gave up trying to make my own coffee at home, which tasted close enough to a cup from a local coffee shop. Exploring the single cup options a little more, I found the Aeropress and was a bit skeptical about its performance. But even after one cup, I knew I had a winner! First, I used the paper filters that came with it. The taste was good, much better than Mr. Coffee which I returned. I ordered an ultra premium screen from Altura (http://amzn.to/2cwSURC) and wow! it was important. Get one of these to try out with the Aeropress. Here are my application tips: - Heat water to 195-197. This is much better for me than the lower temperature I tried first. Make your own milk froth: Take a jar with a lid, fill it 1/4-1/2 full with skim milk (you won't get all of it), shake. remove the lid for a minute, microwave for 30-45 seconds and you have warm milk and froth to add! - In the Aeropress, add thick and then water; Stir for 10-15 seconds, then immediately lower the top pestle just enough to seal - Microwave milk, cream, syrup, vanilla, etc. in a glass measuring cup for 30-60 seconds (taking care to ensure that this is the case). does not spill) - Slowly push the water and coffee through the filter with the pestle - Add milk, cream, etc. I make a double cup and put it in a stainless steel glass where it stays hot for a few hours. love how easy it is! Definitely high on my recommendations.
