INGREDIENTS:
Mellow:
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons half and half
2 teaspoons cocoa powder (I used cacao powder)
1/2 oz espresso, fresh or cold
1/2 ounce maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Punchy:
3/4 cup half and half
3 teaspoons cocoa powder
4 teaspoons espresso, fresh or cold
2 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon heavy cream
For the aeropress:
Place a dampened paper filter into the filter basket and screw that onto the aeropress. Place 2.5 tablespoon of finely ground coffee into the chamber. Pour 1.25 ounces of 175 degree F or 79 degrees C water on top. Stir with the stir stick, and then plunge the aeropress down.
For the French Press:
Add 2 T of finely ground coffee to the canister of the French press. Pour 2 ounces or 1/4 cup of 190 degree F or 87 degree C water on top. Stir, and put the lid on but don’t plunge it down just yet. Let it brew for 4 minutes, and then simply plunge it down and pour out the coffee.

I love your hair. Do you have a tutorial?❤

HOW much wather

[@TheKingOfHeartsIV]

What’s the point of the Aeropress? If you’re trying to get a stronger coffee, why not just add more grounds to the french press and save on dishes? Speaking of saving dishes, why not make the chocolate syrup in the initial mug you were going to pour the french press coffee in?

[@ButteredSideUp]

I personally prefer the flavor of Aeropress coffee. But a French press is good as well!
