A few thoughts on the new AeroPress, both the brewer and the company. For more information:The AeroPress Clear: https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-clea...

New Hoffman video dropped. Not sure if we have any 3rd wave coffee lovers in this community. I’ve been an avid AeroPress user for about two years now and it will be interesting to see where the company goes, though it will likely not affect me as this thing feels nigh indestructible and I can likely use it for ten years with no issues.

    That’s the Fellow Prismo, which prevents drip without inverting and also adds a little pressure (AeroPress have also recently released the Flow Control cap which aims to do the same but is apparently not as reliable). I don’t trust myself to try inverted. I got a Prismo after I left my filter cap at a B&B and the first coffee shop I went to didn’t have spare caps but did have Prismos. Never looked back. I add a regular paper filter above the Prismo’s metal filter so the coffee is less muddy. I’ve also rediscovered Fellow’s “espresso” recipe for the Prismo which does come kind of close to real espresso.

      +1 for the fellow prismo, makes brewing with the aeropress foolproof and easily repeatable. I use it exactly the same way as you, but if I want espresso-style coffee I use James Hoffmann’s aeropress recipe for it (18g/90ml)
