Have you tried filters with different size mesh? For example the filter used in bubble bags comes in different sizes and they're made of plastic. What affect would different mesh sizes have on the taste of the coffee? Finer mesh for finer coffee. Also finer mesh increases pressure and brew time since it's harder for the water to flow through smaller holes. I think that would be good content. I don't think anyone has done a test for mesh size and taste. Another question I have is what affect screening the ground coffee so that it's all within a certain size particle. You know like between 100 mesh and 250 mesh. More consistent particles makes for a more consistent brew.

[@mexter2011]

I've been using the JoePresso for a couple of years now as my daily driver. One thing I've found is that if you press it too hard at the start, it will make it MUCH more difficult to press the water through. It's much more effective if you first press gently until you hear the water start to pass through the hole, and THEN press harder. My guess is that, by pressing hard right from the start, you are compacting the coffee grounds into the hole thereby reducing the amount of water that can pass through in any given moment. These days I use a much finer grind than I did at the start, and get a much better extraction. They've also replaced the screen since you made this video with one that is built into the gasket. Edit: Temperature also makes some difference. The hotter the water, the harder it is to press. I typically brew around 87-88 C.

Thanks for making not just one but FOUR Aeropress videos! Interesting results with the different filters, I'd not come across cloth ones. For the last week, I've been experimenting with reusing the standard Aeropress filters and generally making about 10-15 brews before binning them. I've also nicked a great tip from one of your commenters who suggested placing the rinsed wet filter against the still warm metal kettle which dries them in seconds - neat! Maybe I'm going mad, but beyond ten or so brews, they started to taste a bit thin and I'm also sure there was a little more resistance each time to the press. Either way, I've been pretty happy with sub-10 re-uses so for anyone who wants to minimise their waste, it's worth investigating. I then tried to find my old metal filter for comparison but it's disappeared, so that kinda eliminates any environmental benefit to re-use - you gotta make sure you don't lose or break the thing! Hopefully it'll turn up. So that's a long comment basically coming round to asking how you feel about reusing the paper filters, and if you notice a deterioration in quality over repeated use. Could be a fun FIFTH video where you basically keep reusing the same filter again and again and tell us what you think of each cup. I reckon 20 brews would be sufficiently hardcore, plus the kettle-drying tip has them ready very quickly!

[@jameshoffmann]

There's one more video tomorrow. Perhaps reusing filters will make an appearance...

[@michaeldimmitt2188]

I am a re-user but not sure I would meet your test criteria... not good at the repeatable recipe-follower cup after cup, even decaf for the late-night warm up; but would like to try!

[@S3lvah]

How about trying nylon sieves? I bought two of them last Christmas for filtering particles that were too small for a fine metal sieve but suspended in milk which was too thick to filter through paper in any reasonable amount of time. Apparently paper has pores of about 10 µm, and the nylon sieves I bought have about 74 µm and 37 µm ("200 + 400 Mesh"). Metal mesh strainers' then are much larger than that, probably 250 µm or so. The nylon strainers have been easy to keep clean, too. No need to fully dry or keep soaked like with cloth. I've used the 74 µm one since that too is somewhat slow for milk. But it seems that it would work for making coffee with body, since the finely dispersed (emulsified?) fat in my milk drink has been able to pass through it.

[@coreypowers2988]

I've been reusing my aeropress filters 2-3x but I'll have to check on using them more! Thanks!

[@jimlow6824]

And here I was thinking the opposite way... if the Aesir paper filter costs 3x the Aeropress filter, I'll just try two Aeropress filters.

[@bibliophilecb]

I appreciate the way you talk about ways of brewing coffee that isn’t for you! As someone who loves your videos but usually prefers darker roasts, more rich brews, and the like (which sometimes seems to be frowned upon by coffee elitists), I find it a breath of fresh air to see someone say “it’s not for me but that’s just preference, if this is your thing you’d love this!”

[@caseysmith544]

I like darker coffee too and I like the metal coffee filters though only if finer as course stuff/mesh I need to use more course stuff then what is from most standard tubs, some dark course stuff from the baggies. To me metal type need to be worked in and they have a true metallic taste the first time and not fully 100% clean ever more like 90--95% cleaned unless they are clogging up. I also let the coffee in bigger machine 12 cup with the 6 oz cups filled only to 8 oz sit for 1/2 hour sometimes if I want the more caramel taste and do not want to have it straight. With paper I get the paper taste sometimes though at work I use paper as it is a time thing working for a middle school Lunch program that we also make for one of the Elementary Schools and will live with the micro paper taste.

[@PhaythGaming]

I find this funny as being a resident of Ottawa (in Canada) darker roasts dominate the scene and thus I find I’m often made fun of for my inclination towards lighter roasts.

I was an "early adopter" of the Prismo, and I have to confess that my first brews were terrible. But, I kept trying, and yes, it got better. For milk based drinks and speedy morning cups, it works nice, once you dial a good recipe for your favourite coffee. I'm actually using the metal filter combined with the standard filter, and long brews (19 g coffee, 200 g water) with a couple of minutes wait before plunging. With this device, small changes produce significant differences in taste, so it takes time to dial your daily cup to your liking.

@@TamarLitvot I'm having a ball tweaking water formulas (that's a rabbit hole I swore I'd never go down), ratios, and will be expanding into acquiring a larger variety of filters.

I'll resist the temptation to have varieties of water formulas (ppm, magnesium calcium ratios, bicarbonate buffers)

A big thank you for getting me back into Coffee as a Hobby. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed trying and challenging myself to get more and better taste out of my coffee. Have had getting an Aeropress on my To-Do list for a while, and just hit upon your channel a few weeks ago, just along the Aeropress #2 video... and got myself an aeropress the day after the #3 episode. Been super great actually getting a nice single cup brew available without putting on half a pot in the moccamaster. It also forced me to rethink my way of doing both drip, as well as espresso, so got a scale as well as a pouring kettle and likely getting a V60 or similar as well soon. I've been on an espresso period due to a friend importing a bunch of coffee from italy, so refurbished my gaggia that has been standing still a few years after almost almost having drip brewed at home for a long while. Realised I really miss the ability to have both espresso and drop/immersion whenever I feel like it. So also looking for a second grinder for drip/aero/pour-over now. Again, thank you for all the knowledge you are sharing with us.

[@harveybirch96]

James, I've been using the metal filter as a daily driver for around 6 months now due travel. I found it easier to store the metal filter directly in the aeropress itself during transport, found this much easier than having to "lug" a small sandwich bag of paper filters which would often get creased and damaged. Just my two pence on the video. Love the aeropress series, it's been a long time coming and I've been waiting a while for it! Thanks again, brew on!

[@chairpeople]

I've been using the Aeropress with an Able Brewing metal filter as my daily driver for the better part of 5 years, it makes excellent coffee.

[@mahidharc4866]

I've been using the Prismo for the past couple of months, and I really like it. Since the aeropress is fundamentally an immersion brewer, I like the using the Prismo to brew without any of the usual drips. But, despite their marketing, I don't have any expectation that it is an espresso brewer. I just think it's great to use purely for the immersion brew experience. I also don't really have a problem with the mouthfeel of the metal filter. The only drawback is that it's a little bit harder to clean, but it's not too bad, and I feel it's worth it. I could use the inverted method, but that just makes me nervous with tipping the hot liquid over and I can't help wonder if I'm ruining the plunger's rubber plug and the seal when it is in contact with the hot water for so long in every brew.

[@ericweiner8902]

I use a metal filter. Spot on about the thicker, siltier brew, but I'm used to it by now and I like it. Only other real downside is you have to remember to remove the filter from the top of the puck before you punch it out, if it happens to stick to the puck instead of the screw-on plastic bit. Don't want to go digging through the trash for your filter. (Source: my trash)

I’ve been using the Prismo with the ultimate technique from the previous AeroPress video for about a week. I’m pretty happy with the results. I’m not a fan of the chalky texture of the metal filter, so I usually throw in a paper filter as well. It’s been a nice change of pace to get a fairly substantial change in flavor profile from the same blend I’ve been using for about 6 months. I’m not sure if being able to leave the brew chamber open rather than doing the vacuum method has any real effect, but my kitchen smells of coffee more, so that’s always a plus!

[@d0nj03]

Hearing him talk about how easy it is to maintain and what a frenchpressy taste it produces, I have to assume he used the regular (larger holes) model and not the "fine". I don't like the French press taste so I went for the "fine" model, which produced a coffee just the way I like it... for about 2-3 times, after which most of the little holes in it got plugged with coffee grinds, with no hope of ever opening them up again using only regular cleaning utensils you'd find in a kitchen. Literally the only thing that worked for me was putting the tip of a sewing needle through the holes one at a time. Epic fail. I need a better metal filter, I can't accept the "dead" taste of paper filtered coffee but also want to stay away from the opposite extreme.

[@FiveStoryTreeHouse5]

Watching this again. Long time Aeropress owner and more recently V60 user after years of using Melitta dripper. I'm learning that over extraction is the enemy when using an Aeropress. After watching James' video again I was inspired to use two filters and considerably less water in the brewer. A time to bloom, add rest of water, stir, and press immediately. I like to add hot water to the cup to get a mug full. What I got was a smooth, somewhat light cup of good coffee. James hooked me with the thought of two filters getting a pour over like experience with the Aeropress. I think he is right.

I am absolutely loving these videos! Thanks, James. My palette isn’t nearly as sensitive or precise as most coffee aficionados, but I like to use two {rinsed} Aeropress paper filters when making mine and I can actually tell a difference when I only use one.

[@joaodias2355]

Great videos! I usually just brew one aeropress scoop of coffee, inverted method, with water up to number 2. It’s quite a strong brew. I use two paper filters together and I also re-use them about 8-10 times. I like strong coffee, I am originally from Portugal, where what we call “a coffee” is an espresso!

[@kandrope1]

I am loving this new aura of creativity that surrounds your latest videos, from the bripe intro to this, absolutely brilliant :D

[@rwhitlowjr]

This series is why I’m subscribed to your channel. I don’t even have an aeropress. I don’t have the resources or the time to test in this manner. You make great videos (love the new intros) with great substance.

[@diongeraldo3348]

the intro and the pressing with foot really killed me in laughter

[@josiahblanton8291]

It’s not only for AeroPress but the Basal Co Filter Coffee Traveller is an amazing product for carrying all your coffee kit in a single case.

[@aarongolob4725]

In my experience, the Fellow Prismo is the way to go. the cleanliness alone makes it a must. I add a damp paper filter to the plunger for the press. Very happy with the result of that combination.

I was about to head out, and decided now would be a good time to sit down and watch this instead

“Hopefully that illustrates how much 9 bars of pressure is” Yeah, the next time I’m pulling a shot all I can imagine is 9 different James stepping on my portafilter.

Indeed

I've had an aeropress for about 6 years but it's finally in need of replacement. This video has given me the push to order a new one, plus the organising station. Thanks.

I've been using Aesir filters since he was cutting them out by hand with scissors in his shop. Honestly the best I've ever used. I've often described them as a cheat code for Aeropress. It's really hard to screw up a brew using them

Thank you so so much James. We asked for an Aeropress video, we got four. We have been blessed.

[@vincenthoule767]

My favorite Aeropress accessory is the JavaJug 2 ! I've been using it for a couple of years. Storage, traveling, boiling, something to press into, all in one !

[@smwillia]

I do kind of love the wooden Aeropress "battle station" as you referred to it. It also looks like the kind of thing that would be a middle school/high school wood shop project that would be made in varying degrees of quality.

[@ResilienceOnPurpose]

I'm thinking of making one myself. I think of it as more of an altar than a battle station me thinks. I have just enough space for it on my counter.

[@hds1337]

I‘d really like to see a test of two original filters vs one aesir filter

[@nib95]

Same! 2 original filters would afterall still be cheaper than a single Aesir filter.

[@ispty]

Im so grateful for this Aeropress series. Im loving mine

[@bae_ofpigz]

i rly appreciate you cutting the majority of the slurps. Keeping one is fair. Honest.

What if he hides that room away when he isn't recording?

Yay! Thanks for the help in keeping our lives interesting by watching your videos, James! :)

James could upload coffee videos every single day of the week and I'd never tire of it.

[@GibsonMarco]

Seeing my machine on your counter kind of make me proud.

[@MrWisdom4U]

Oh you mean the Aeropress....I'm proud of us both.

I was crying in laughter at “only a fool would do that.”

Thank you for another amazing video James!

[@vincentfeugere4847]

Hi Jesse, thank you for all the videos tout même, they are great, I learn a ton of advices. I use everyday the Aeropress for 4 years now, with the Able filter (it was more a choice of not wasting paper) and more recently with the Prismo filter that I enjoy a lot because there are not drip when pouring the water. Thank you for clarifying the difference between the use of metal or paper filter, it will be really interesting to change my recipes.
