Cold Drip Coffee Made Easy: PUCK PUCK + AEROPRESS

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

UPDATE: We did a mistake and didn't place a splash filter properly. This change will make a drip rate adjustment much easier (even with a darker AeroPresses). We will check the manuals and instructions more carefully next time:)

[@Otstrava]

European Coffee Trip also used the wrong "new" in the video description

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Cheers Jake! It is fixed now.

[@Otstrava]

No problemo

[@acastellani91]

Hi, did you rinsed the aeropress filter before put the coffee?

[@RastaJediX]

@J S whaaa my experience is completely the opposite. Perhaps it's a concentrate and you didn't dilute it?

[@hi12349]

Leave a 600 mL bottle of water in the fridge, then freezer for 45 min to get it really cold. Take it out and put a pin through the lid, turn upside down onto the aeropress and put a pin through the base of the bottle and leave the pin in. You should get a drip rate of around 60 drips per minute.

[@schristofersen]

or just unscrew the cap slightly

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Great tips guys. I guess all these hacks were inspiration for the Puck Puck guys to turn it into the product. You are right that you don't need it and you can build it yourself.

[@estebanalvarez983]

I’d just add drip/French sized grounds to a mason jar shake up and let it sit in the fridge 12-16 hrs (before leaving for school/work, etc.) pour and press through either an aeropress with a reusable filter or a French press. Super easy. Nothing fancy. French presses can be found cheap in the home good aisles of department stores. For large amounts like a pitcher you can probably use a colander over a cheese cloth. Side note: spent coffee grounds in your plumbing clumps together. Make sure to compost it in your garden or dispose of some other way to avoid costly problems.

[@Gillysaurxx]

Sweet. This little baby will breathe new life into my old dusty aeropress

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Haha, good to hear!

[@adamlippold8308]

Nice video! I believe the drip screen is supposed to rest of the coffee bed, not stay locked in the top. I have an older version of the aeropress too and if I put the screen on the bed, I don't have an issue seeing the drips.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thanks, Adam! It was our mistake, I tried again, and it is much easier to set up the drip rate. We should read the instruction carefully next time:) I thought that splash screen is designed similar to the batch brews and other brewers. I was wrong:)

[@vanJaarsveld]

You forgot to remove and place the splash screen. Also you could have ordered the official canister ;-). Never less great video.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Haha, you are right Laurens! We tried again in a correct way and it is much easier. Official canister makes it way less portable so we didn't order it but we could mention it. Cheers.

[@CupocafeCoffeebar]

the puck puck is awesome...

[@istvanmeszaros4112]

Great video again! Thx

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thanks István!

[@syhusada1130]

How does the result compare to Alan Adler's cold brew?

[@vojtechpilar5809]

For 20 Pounds this certainly isn't cheaper than many cold brew coffee maker alternatives. Especially if you don't own an Aeropress yet. I also fail to understand how this is portable since you need an Aeropress and a plastic bottle or the vessel. It all together makes the same size of an average cold brew coffee maker... Who makes cold brew on the way anyway? It looks cool, though. Thanks for the great review!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thanks for comment Vojtech. It is true that the Kickstarter price was better than this. We have to mention that cold drip coffee and cold brew coffee is a slightly different technique and cold drip station are not very cheap! What it comes to the portability, if you already have the AeroPress, you can buy water battle anywhere in the world and Puck Puck itself is of pocket size. I don't think you would use it to make cold drip coffee while hiking but for a vacation or a more extended stay, it can work well I think.

[@Hernandez2192]

Does that really get enough of flavor out of the grind?

[@distlledbrewedreviewed]

Nice video, have to have my coffee piping hot even in summer. Enjoyed this though.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Good point! It is good to have an alternative though.

[@nicsievers4387]

Just backlight the aeropress to see the drips. Perhaps just a flashlight

[@Zachadiddle]

Hey guys, It’s starting to heat up which means it’s cold brew season.! By chance, would you have a grind size recommendation for the Comandante C40 and Puck Puck?

[@jordanclapham9321]

Do you need to grind the coffee differently to a regular aeropress grind?

[@lidlprinz]

You forgot to mention the splash filter and if we should rinse the paper filter or not, or boom the coffee with some extra water for a few seconds :)

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Good point, Martin. We stopped rinsing the paper filter after our discussion with Alan Adler, the inventor of the AeroPress. He did taste comparisons and didn't find the difference. We didn't do any bloom neither. As for the splash filter, we did actually a mistake and didn't use it properly:(

[@hassansuboh8033]

Any idea if getting it started before bed and leaving it until next morning would have any negative effect on the coffee?

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

No, it should be fine. Once dripping is on and the rate is adjusted, there is not much more to control.

[@chaoringmeister]

Have you thought about shining a light through the aeropress to help see the drip rate?

[@josue99a]

hello guys, I recently sow the video of the mile high club and I did it. And I was wondering how could I get the sticker? Thanks

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Hey Andy, you should reach out to Ingri from Kaffikaze. They closed the Kaffikaze project, so I am not sure about the sticker. I guess you should send her a personal message. We will try to investigate more ...

[@jeekup]

PUCK PUCK company should provide kit that goes instead of the plastic bottle cause it not safe to reuse them

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

They do but it costs extra money so we didn’t purchase it.

[@jordanclapham9321]

When serving do you diloute the coffee?

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

It depends on your preference but often you dilute it with water, ice or even with some other ingredient. Often, you can use it to create coffee drinks (we will have a video about it soon on the channel).

[@jordanclapham9321]

Look forward to watching! 🤙

[@anaa.g.5569]

Where i can buy this puck puck?

[@samuelkim9794]

where can you purchase this? seems like the kickstarter is done and want to purchase this item.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

If you check their website/Instagram you will get the most recent update. It was available only in Europe lately but I believe it will go international soon.

[@schristofersen]

you don't actually need the puck puck. you can simply cut off the bottom of any water bottle that will sit on top of the aeropress. Put the coffee in the aeropress, put another filter paper that has been rinsed on top of the coffee in the aeropress, adjust the drip rate from the bottle but slightly untwisting the cap. When you have the drip rate to around 50pm fill the bottle with ice and water and put on top of the aeropress. enjoy.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Yes, that would work as well. I guess this hack was an inspiration for the Puck Puck guys. I don't think it is that easy to make it work in DIY style. Why not to try tough.

[@kflynn87]

Ohhh Puck Puck. lol

[@anguswongwu]

Where can we buy it?

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

It seems it is available only in Europe (at least that is written on Puck Puck's Instagram) but you should subscribe their list on the website with all the updates.

[@thrift24]

How about Aeropress Go, its provided with Puck-Puck?

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

No, the Puck Puck is a separate product. It doesn’t come with any AeroPress.

[@thrift24]

@@EuropeanCoffeeTrip its suitable for the Aeropress Go?

[@conan_der_barbar]

Tbh it looks like many Kickstarter projects - well designed, cool idea, but not that useful in everyday life

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Perhaps, we used it almost daily since we made a video so it beyond our initial expectation. We will see in the future.

[@OverlordShanbo]

I dunno man, some coffees are seasonal. Nobody drinks cold brew in the winter months really, so it might sit in a drawer for a few months of the year, but cold brew during the spring and summer is great for the price.

[@RastaJediX]

@@OverlordShanbo not to mention you can heat up cold brew after you make it to get the best of both worlds!

[@sheltzshelton1454]

Lift PUCK PUCK up until you get correct drip rate

[@sethfreehling1823]

The PuckPuck stops dripping after every two minutes (for me). I have to bang it to get it start it up again. Watching for it to stop and banging it for two hours straight is not really feasible. But, it does produce awesome cold brew!

[@harleykeiner4095]

38 grams is A LOT for one cup of coffee!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

It is not one cup of coffee! You would get about 450ml so it depends what is your definition of one cup.

[@vizzo7]

how much water?

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

The basic recipe is 38g coffee / 100g ice / 400ml water. You can adjust it to your preference.

[@paijoblaah]

How to get this cool item in Indonesia?

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

We don't know, but you should ask them directly.

[@jonibangs1797]

available on otten coffee, for the price of almost a new aeropress..:D

[@paijoblaah]

fantastic! :D

[@therocketman321]

2.5 hrs for a cup of coffee???? Lol if I need coffee, it's right now...

[@schristofersen]

how do you make cold brew "right now"? if you want a hot cup of coffee just make it in the aeropress... if you want cold brew this is a nice method... although... you don't need the puck puck to do it.

[@tanyajohnson5645]

All the coffee need to be in all tea bags. Okay. bring all the Culture together.for every body Wall Street. culture business all. Making and building all the community play are park beach all areas. Club danceing. Malls colleges office break time. ice cold. Of the hot weather cool.
