AeroPressThe operation methods are varied and there are no absolute rules. Use your imagination to make a good cup of coffee. Use it however you want. It is precisely because of AeroPress's versatile gameplay, its operability, and the controllability of coffee extraction factors that the current World Aeropress Championships exist.
AeroPress Extraction Principle
In fact, AeroPress is not only a very ingenious creative achievement, but also a practical product. It combines the immersion extraction method of the French press, the filter paper filtration of Pour over(V60) coffee, and the rapid and pressure extraction principle of Italian coffee. So in theory, the coffee brewed by Aeropress can combine the richness of Italian coffee, the purity of Pour over(V60) coffee, and the smooth taste of French press.
Aeropress coffee flavor characteristics
Clean and smooth taste: Aeropress filter paper has high density, and the filtered coffee is very clean. Using the right warm water and the right pressure, you can brew coffee with low acidity and no bitter taste, but full of flavor. Rich flavor: Complete immersion brewing can maximize and evenly extract coffee, keeping the flavor of coffee intact.
Rich body: Make a perfect cup of coffee in 1 minute, and the actual filtering time is only 20 seconds. However, due to the pressurized extraction process, you can get a richer body than other steeped coffees.
The Aeropress is probably the easiest coffee maker to make besides the French press. If you delve deeper into how this product is made, it can produce many unexpected changes, comparable to the existence of "Taiwan Balm". AeroPress was officially released by the American company AEROBIE in 2005. It caused a strong response as soon as it was launched due to its ease of use, high efficiency, and delicious coffee. This brand-new coffee-making appliance was invented by Alan Adler, a mechanical engineering lecturer at Stanford University. With the holding of the World Aeropress Competition WAC (World Aeropress Champion), Aeropress has become known to more and more people.
Its structure is similar to a syringe. When using it, put ground coffee and hot water into its "syringe", then press the push rod, and the coffee will flow into the container through the filter paper. The principle is a combination of the immersion quenching method of the French press, the filter paper filtration of filter coffee (hand brewing), and the rapid and pressurized quenching principle of espresso coffee. Through different combinations of powder thickness, water temperature, pressing speed, soaking time and rhythm, coffee with a wild taste similar to espresso can be brewed, and coffee with a refreshing and rich taste similar to hand brewing can be brewed. This "magic oil" ability is unique in expressing the flavor of a bean.
