Coffee 14g espresso grind 70g 93degrees celcius 20s stir 60s press --> 50g coffee Milk 100ml 60 degrees Shake

[@nicksanchez530]

You know what? After watching some espresso and tasting it, I think I'm going to try this suggestion in the morning.

[@nicksanchez530]

It's pretty good!

[@132nd.professor3]

I love your videos! Amongst the coffee KZbinrs, you are absolutely one of my favourites! Wonderful smile, very sympathetic impression, calm, no overpowering music and content is always to the point. Keep it up!

[@shadeinthedesert]

I was on the fence about my aero press. It makes an OK cuppa coffee, I thought, but what I really liked is the new house all equipment. After this video, I made a flat white ….. mind blown! My second cup I added half&half to offset my low fat milk. Hands down best cup I’ve ever made at home! Great video, no fancy tools - I’m not opening a coffee house! Thank you! 😁

[@qai5er]

This is it. i'm on the fence about buying a proper coffee machine after not being particularly impressed with my Nespresso. Having seen this will give it a go with an AeroPress instead.

[@kippywylie]

I've had my Aero Press since about 2014 and just recently I've rediscovered it and brought it out of storage. Can't wait to try this flat white idea

[@AndyGait]

Take a mix of this and the Cappucino video. Aeropress for the coffee (with a Fellow Prismo if you've got one), and a French Press for frothing the milk. The French Press gives a much denser foam needed for the fIat white. I make mine with 22g of coffee. 50g of water. 180g of milk. This gives me a nice, strong tasting flat white.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Cheers!

[@khirek5335]

I never knew you could make foam with a french press, good to know that it works! Do you leave every part of the stamp attached? The squishy sieve too?

[@khirek5335]

Edit: No need to respond I just did and it worked flawlessly! Don't have anything else to do the job so this little life hack really comes in handy. And great recipe of yours too!

[@AndyGait]

@@khirek5335 Glad you liked it.

[@cherochow]

I totally enjoyed this recipe. I find that it was comparable to James Hoffman's aeropress recipe for coffee with milk using 18g with 90ml water. This yielded a smoother, more rounded cup for me and I save 4g of bean to boot. Good job!

[@suikarbus]

You know you can just make a bit less coffee if you want to save on beans, right😁? Both James and Aleš used the same coffee to water ratio in their recipes so if anything Aleš is saving some more time for you since his recipe total time is 1 min while James waits for 90 seconds before pressing down.

[@cherochow]

@@suikarbus whichever the case I'm thankful to both for sharing all the great tips and recipes! So much to learn for noobs like me.

[@lorimcquinn3966]

Excellent video, I've been trying this all week with good to excellent results. Every day with a small modification, it gets better. 70 grams of water @ 199 degrees, 14 grams of beans ground @ 4 clicks out on a Porlex Mini ll, Milk @ 155 degrees F, foamed in a mini French press, all done on a inverted AP, excellent Flat White, Thanks!

[@khirek5335]

Is inverted necessary or just a preference? I thought on super fine grind sizes it wouldn't make that big of a difference because there's barely any leakage. But Imma def try out your recipe I just got my aeropress this christmas and am new to milk coffees

[@lorimcquinn3966]

@@khirek5335 More habit than anything else. I started with a A/P (2) years ago and quickly changed over to inverted as I didn't like the early start to the process. You might very well be right in regards to the finer grind in the normal position, I never tried it. I suspect the grinder and coffee bean has more to do with success when using this process. While the Porlex Mini ll is a great little grinder, I think consistency can still be improved. A good espresso blend also makes a huge difference. Good luck!

[@User-dh4bp]

been doing this since im a newbie and i dont wanna invest in much equipment yet. thank you for sharing this vid :)

[@KC-px4jb]

Great vid. Just made the flat white, it's really lush. My latte art skills are poor but will up my game as my boyfriend got me a barista course as a bday present :) Keep up the quality!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thank you! Good luck with a barista course ☕️💪

[@STARDUSTVOID]

I'm new to aeropress and making my own coffee in general. Tried this and loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thank you, Nichola. I hope you will find many more interesting coffee videos and tutorial on our channel ☕️👍

[@lindsaygallagher167]

can't wait to try it with my aeropress 👍

[@jamesspurling]

Looks like a great way to get my latte game on while camping. :)

[@DHANSON94]

Followed his recipe as described. Very good substitute when actual espresso isn't available!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thanks!!

[@ashrafmorenos402]

how long do you steep the coffee or you just straight away push the aeropress?

[@roznothejon]

just did this, came out amazing

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Great to hear, Radu!

[@SidBonkers51]

Its so strange that this should have popped up into my suggested videos as I recently bought an AeroPress and have been using this exact method for a couple of weeks now, so it seems that its true that, 'great minds think alike' .

[@martinmanzi1830]

Just tried it with my aeropress & the subminimal foamer...awesome recipe!!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Good to hear!

[@rosecruz9926]

Just tried it out now and I love it!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thanks!!

[@diverg3]

Fantastic guide and really nice to watch video, thanks and keep up the good work !!

[@cherochow]

Thanks for sharing this simple recipe! Love your sincerity and humbleness.

[@cherochow]

Just tried this and I was not expecting it to be so good given the 20s aggression stir and short brew time! Had it with steamed soya+heavy cream and my old my!

[@adamseward358]

Thanks - this has become my go-to coffee method. Love it!

[@westay4924]

I LOVED IT THANK YOU

[@AP-lh1bq]

Love your channel. Watching all your videos.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thanks Anthony ☕️💪 Let us know what you like the most.

[@rivkinbangayan2610]

I see you are using 1:5 ratio with 14g coffee to 70g water. Have you tried lower ratios like 1:3 or 1:4?

[@gonacts]

How many clicks on the Comandante grinder? :)

[@UserNameNiemand]

Based on previous videos about aeropress ways to brew, it should be at 6 up to 8 clicks on comandante 😉

[@thekoteXD]

This way to do it, it's like taste heaven 😍

[@beardacus4893]

Just made it and man, it's good!

[@bahavamoss8372]

Looking forward to making this. Thank you.

[@ahmadseptian9990]

Always great video from you guys! Love it.

[@Lukas-bo8rq]

Thanks for all the videos you upload Aleš. I enjoy a lot the hard work and the enthusiasm you and your team has for making the videos. I specially enjoy the AeroPress ones, since it’s my main brewing method to prepare coffee, and i love how you invest so much time developing new recipes for this artefact. Hope you are all doing well during this pandemic. Will wait your new videos with great excitement. Cheers!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Thank you, Lukas! We wish you all the best from Brno.

[@Lukas-bo8rq]

Thanks. Wish you too the best from the Chilean Patagonia :) I hope i could see a video about AeroPress and different types of coffee profiles (dark, light roast)

[@thanasispinkflo]

Nice cup 😍

[@carlosjuarez7796]

The total time is from when water first came in contact with the coffee?

[@user-xn7jc7ym2j]

Yes

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Yes, that is right but it is just a marker for your reference. It depends on how much you stir and how long is your pour.

[@jxxxs831]

Love this, I've already seen the french press latte art video please~ make more clip about doing latte art without machine like more detail :)

[@omarnajam]

This is amazing!!

[@carlosbarbe3417]

How many clics is fine for espresso? I generally use between 8 and 11 clics in recipes with milk

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Yeah, I think it is a good range. We are also between 8 to 10 clicks.

[@ashrafmorenos402]

Do we need to steep the coffee after adding the water since you just go straight in pushing the aeropress?

[@BrianJosephMorgan]

Interesting video, beautiful accent!

[@pimeye]

Wouldn’t the coffee be cold by the time you have got the milk ready?

[@kalebirey7805]

Not cold. Cooler than when you brew, yes, but if you're brewing at the normal temp of around 200°F, and then adding that warm/hot milk, you're probably fine.

[@hammyjammies]

Could you say why you used the aeropress over something like a Moka pot? How would you change the amount of coffee and grind size accordingly?

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

It’s much easier to use the AeroPress. I can control the brewing parameters (like coffee to water brew ratio or temperature) that I found difficult using the Moka Pot. It’s fair alternative for a strong coffee to dilute with milk!

[@ruveydabekdemir]

LOVE IT!!! Greetings from Turkey.

[@middle_pickup]

That's pretty neat!

[@jasongans]

If I want to make a double espresso do I just double the coffee and water to 28, 140g? Or do I need to adjust the time as well? 🤔 Also, I love the cup you use for your initial aeropress brew, is it insulated? Who makes it? 😁

[@AZ-sz1tj]

The cup comes with the aeropress go package.

[@5uckk]

Nice, what’s the ideal grind for this?It’s important for aeropress.

[@Pabpelja]

Would this recipe work for two milk drinks by doubling coffee and water?

[@BerlinariCrossFit]

Great video!!!! Thank you... I will definitely try it! 🙌

[@lupitou.-.6032]

Ok, so how many clicks are you using in the comandante?

[@wizendwizard]

I like how everytime you try to make latte art, you always say you're not an expert. 😄

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Because it is true 😅 but I know, I shouldn’t make these excuses anymore.

[@wizendwizard]

@@EuropeanCoffeeTrip 😅 I'll be looking out for more of this disclaimer in you videos haha

[@akrambr1714]

Thank you 👍

[@abstronaut]

What utensil you used for heat up the milk?

[@triptyayesha8845]

Whenever i am shaking the jar, it results in more like cappuccino foam.

[@jerhughes500]

Is it possible to get a crema with an aero Press? Black coffee with a frothy head. Thanks.

[@worldisbig]

I used a French press to make foam but the bubbles are big and coarse. Shaking flask is totally out of my mind. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@johnw2895]

Amazing!

[@Nashlaga]

"step 1: make coffee" got me ☠ nice video!

[@garnettbrown]

you can heat and froth the milk in the pitcher in a microwave and froth using an inexpensive milk frother wand

[@JakeBiddlecome]

What kind of burner is he using for the milk? I've only ever seen mini burners that hook up to the standard half size cans that you can get in any hardware store. The burner he's using is much smaller and doesn't look like a standard propane tank.

[@burke803]

Thank You

[@chriswilson5174]

I really enjoy your videos, the style of production is great, I loved the Aeropress documentary too. What type is the small gas stove you use to heat the milk? do you have a link to purchase? or the brand so I can search online?

[@northbound42]

I find that 17g coffee to 55 ml water is a lot closer to espresso - use the metal filter if you have it

[@michaellmikeyymike]

I will try this

[@mickeytran1936]

Zdravím, jsem začátečník a chtěl jsem se prosím zeptat jestli je normální, že mi voda protéká filtrem už když nalévám vodu (před stlačením plungeru)? Mám pocit, že se potom tato část vody nesaturuje kávou..

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Diky za dotaz! Je v pohode pokud protece par kapek (kdyz nalevate pomalu a mate vyrovnanou vrstvu kavy) - pokud by to bylo mnozstvi tektiny, chtelo by zjemnit hrubost mleti. Nejvetsim ukazatelem je ale to jak vam pripravena kava chutna:)

[@cssc939]

This is a greaaaaaaaat recipe. Now please share how to make a cappuccino, cortado, and latte. PLEASE.

[@cssc939]

With the aeropress

[@renaldi5089]

At 3:10 you said you was using 100 ml milk, but you scale that 100 grams milk, I don't get it, please help me, were you using 100 ml or 100 gram milk? Give me explanation about that.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

At least with water 1 ml ~ 1 gram, milk can be slightly different but not that much. I hope 😅

[@darkim1777]

Normally milk has the density of 1.03 grams/mL, so it didnt differ much with water 103grams of milk equals to 100mL of milk But frothing the milk will give more volume, depends on how much air you get inside the milk.

[@kerkodain]

how many grams of coffee you use?

[@ignaciobosco8136]

I tried this but the milk got cold vey fast (or maybe it was the foam?) . What am I doing wrong?

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Perhaps you can pre-heat the flask with hot water, this way it should not cool down quickly (also it is good to use an insulated flask).

[@ignaciobosco8136]

Thanks I'll try that!

[@josephmclord]

French press is also a good tool to foam the milk,

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

You are right! We featured the technique in the other video so we wanted to share an alternative. Thanks for sharing it anyway.

[@pinkhyanggi]

This way is really good! I tried right now. Thank you~😍

[@davidfabriziopauta4991]

Isn't it supposed that there should be more coffee than milk?

[@bouneibrahim2425]

Salut c'est de l'art.

What's the difference between flat white and a machiatto?

[@kirillfayn6354]

As far as I know, it's the amount of milk and coffee, and frothiness of the milk.

[@AndyGait]

A Machiatto is an espresso shot, with a little amount of frothed milk on top. The flat white is its bigger brother.

[@ivanlinuxandunix]

the milk foaming worked i am practicing latte art.

[@tasmedic]

I think it's essential to preheat the flask. Otherwise, your milk will end up tepid and your flat white will be horrible.

[@garnettbrown]

try heating the milk in a microwave. Its easier, faster, and readily available

Ok, sorry about that. Perhaps check some of our AeroPress videos so you learn the basics.

[@borges87]

Nice tips! But everytime I put milk on my coffee I remember that I don't like the end result 😅

[@pimeye]

Wow - you don’t have a microwave!

[@gblan]

Why do people insist on taking a coffee making device and claiming it makes espresso based drinks when they know good and well it can not make espresso. People you CAN NOT make espresso in any form with an Aeropress, therefore you can not make a flat white, cappuccino or a latte with one. You can however make a delicious cup of coffee with one.

[@robowis1]

Dang I like your videos but I wish you would put measurements in U.S. as well as metric, great videos though

[@asjeot]

But the rest of the world uses Metric...

[@nlptrckshmn5535]

Just use a converter tool like everybody else in the world does for American videos.

If you're using a scale (and you should be) milliliters are equal to grams. 1ml = 1g
