and even though I’m tired, things are all right!
Aw I have the same cup!
I will admit, washing it kinda sucks lol
Weirdly, I’ve never had an issue with it. The dishwasher seems to get it clean every time. shrug
It must be a hand-washing problem that you are too dishwasher to understand
Ooh, didn't think of that. Bet it would be a pain, lol
How do people like aeropresses overall?
Dunno but I love mine!
Love mine. Especially for cleanup and time it takes to brew. Very happy with it. I have a French Press and a ceramic filter I use once in a while, but if it’s just me the aero press wins over.
Same reasons why I ditched my French Press. Moka Pot can be messy and seems like a more involved process. Aeropress is such an easier and cleaner process.
They're amazing honestly. Extra good for travel.
would recommend it to everyone. I don't use it every day, but there are a million and one ways to brew with it, it's very handy for traveling, it's super easy.
I use it particularly for when I'm at the end of a bag of coffee and don't have enough left to do a French Press or a pour-over -- I have a couple of Aeropress recipes that use 10-12 grams.
Have you tried inverted method? It allows you to steep longer, thus extract more coffee.
I have! although I prefer the plunger/suction method. 95% of the water stays in and I don't have to bother with flipping it!
I have tried that too, but never really saw the value in that, although that could be because my lack in tasting skills.
I’m grinding fairly fine (1.1 in the Aergrind), which seems to clog up the paper filter to such an extent that dripping is very slow. I also stir a lot to make extraction a bit faster, so I would say that I haven’t had trouble with extracting enough in the upright configuration.
The inverted method kicks ass!
How do people like aeropresses over all?
Dunno but I like mine a lot! If you want to learn more about them check out James Hoffman on YouTube.

Or do?

What an nifty cup!
I might do the same, the drip coffee I make (primarily for my wife who prefers quantity over quality) does not scratch the itch like the aeropress does.
How often do you use your aero? I have one but I pretty much stopped using it once I got my v60. Does it have any advantages in brew or anything?
Multiple times a day! I like it because it's quick to brew, makes a clean, tasty cup of coffee, and very little to clean up when I'm done. Haven't really looked into a Hario or pour over too much but I've been fairly happy with my aeropress. IMO it's like a French press and gives a nice full-body brew but without the oil or fines in the bottom of the cup.
V60 is easier cleanup and even cleaner brew but a total rabbit hole of fiddlyness
Pro tip: Don't consume caffeine within about 1 hour of waking up. Waiting a bit gives your body time to clean up the sleep chemicals and get started on the being awake chemicals before you start adding to the mix.
There are a lot of articles about this out there (here's one), but they all say more or less the same thing, as far as I've been able to tell.
that's a great tip, thanks for posting
I've heard the name, but don't know anything about it.
What is it, and what does it do?
Nice! What grinder are you using?
A capresso burr grinder. Nothing too fancy but it gets the job done.

Wow this is so cool, I had an Aero Press way back in my college days. Didn't know they were still in existence / popular. Best cups of coffee I've ever had.
Thanks op, this motivated me to finally get off my butt and clean my aeropress. With leftover donuts too :)
