Definitely gona recommend capping first before expelling the air. Learnt this the hard way

[@edzen6122]

Cant agree more

Same

[@markmineses6260]

Thank you for this 🥹

[@forte210392]

@@markmineses6260 No worries

[@luizfarias398]

Me too 😂

[@angrygoldfish]

It's much safer to push the air out with cap and filter attached. I've had the whole brew spray across my kitchen when pushing the air out without the cap and filter on. Not fun.

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Yeah, we agree it’s not the safest. We wanted to share the recipe the exact same way it was made by Tuomas Merikanto - 2021 World AeroPress Champion 💪

[@SamJessop]

My favourite is to screw on the cap but forget the filter, and I am met with many tiny jets of hot coffee that go everywhere.

[@julienholmgren1543]

@@SamJessop you could use that as a weapon and shoot folks with hot coffee

[@danikani1992]

thanks for giving the commandante grind reference 😊

[@HarryJ10]

This worked really well with the unusual Ugandan coffee I have at the moment. It’s a light roast and it’s very floral, this technique managed to extract the majority of the flavours without tasting acidic (as I found with other methods). Thank you!

[@natecorsn9097]

Did you raise the temp for your light roast or did you keep it at 80?

[@HarryJ10]

@@natecorsn9097 I’m pretty sure I used water close to boiling, the most important thing I found was to not leave the ground beans saturated in water for too long - the floral notes were lost with too long of a brew time > 1 minute

[@kenshannon1876]

Gave it a try today and it was very sweet but very little body. Thanks for sharing!

[@Basic-Reviews]

Due to the low temp. Should be in the range of 185c to 190c

[@metalairsoft100]

@@Basic-Reviews wtf no those temp would melt the areopress

Good! Thanks!

AWesome! will try it today

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Let us know how it tasted!🙌☕️

[@martinmanzi1830]

@@EuropeanCoffeeTrip very tasty! The temperature made it easier to drink without waiting too long. I couldn't manage times right though... Do I have to pour the extra 150ml as soon as stirr the first time? Should I pour fast?

[@feras874]

This is waaaaaay better than the normal method

[@andreidumi2960]

Thanks for the recipe, having trouble finding the grind size on my new Barraza Encore ESP, is there a way find a transformation between clicks on commandant vs Barraza ESP setting?

[@Vermonstered]

don't worry so much about it. Eyeball what a 'medium coarse grind' is. Then make a second cup 5 clicks in whatever direction you want and see which you like better. The only point to any of these recipes is to give you a starting point for YOUR taste.

[@alex.vlascu]

You get better result and without wasting so much coffee, with a finer ground: - 15 clicks on a Commandante - 11g of coffee - 200 ml of water - Important: Water 88-90C for regular Espresso roast (light to medium on speciality coffee) You don't have to do the inverted method. Enjoy!

[@bernardoperez1901]

Maybe next year submit your own recipe to the competition :)

[@CrabbyPattydelight]

In a pinch you can make coffee using the kurig little basket adapter thing by itself with a mug, microwave like a half inch of water then put coffee in the little basket adapter, then set that in the half inch and drag it in a figure 8 till it all leaches out, add water heat again

[@mikkisdiyobsessions3742]

Thanks for the concise recipe! Regarding the Commandante, 27 clicks on the standard, or red axle?

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Cheers ☕️🖤 Standard axle.

[@Yagunitto]

nice. will do!

[@EuropeanCoffeeTrip]

Perfect! ☕️👋

[@StarKnightZ]

Why was a coarse/medium grind used?

[@Authenticrunclub]

Because he was probably using a dark roast coffe (my best guess) aeropress sits real nicely within the medium grind ballpark for dark roasts because you don’t want to over extract it. As a light roast you actually want your water hotter and grind finer

[@Authenticrunclub]

Which is also why he’s probably using 80°C, and not 93. Ballpark the extraction water temperature with the larger grind so everything balances out.

[@Adam-vx6to]

Johnathan Gange’s long steep recipe is king

[@CrabbyPattydelight]

Dang I want a hand grinder like that, thats sick

[@Ottolineification]

did you use a regular aeropress or the go version?

[@multheme]

that's the regular AeroPress. the cup is from the Go

[@BrennanHammons]

Pour from altitude, I like that 😂

[@VonBriest]

Would love for this short Video to contain some info about the coffee used. In the longer version you did mention that a lighter roast was used. Love the recipe, thanks for sharing in a short, easy to follow, format :)

[@MrMattCoy]

80 degrees and lighter roast? Sth doesn't add up.

[@VonBriest]

@@MrMattCoy that's the funny part... Look up the longer version and check for yourself

[@cliffcox7643]

I dont know what the benefit is for the pre-infusion vs filling all the way.. I mean it's all mixed in the end, why not pour all water in and stir?

[@ferrypermana2952]

joooosss ngaB

[@johnyg78]

Why am I getting grinds squrt ing out side holes when I press plunger down?

[@markzanetti6228]

I know, I know... because it's made in China. (as are most appliances) and it lacks precision. this is why it's selling for only $30 on Woot.

[@RahulKumar-sv3bj]

But which beans arabica ya rubusta??

Total water is 200g or 50+200?

Is this to avoid early drips?

yes

Pour from altitude?

[@goodgamewellplayed1165]

Yeah, you know, climb your nearest mountain before pouring the coffee into a cup.

[@markzanetti6228]

oh my God, what an ordeal. I don't think I would even re-gift this thing.

I think it’s important to understand that being a “snob” doesn’t just meant you you dislike cheap things. If you love Seikos and think every one with a Rolex is a jerk you’re still being a snob.

[@thrisha824]

Actually I have a doubt, when will you add sugar while preparing coffe in Aeropress and also in Espresso Machine

[@haikal5st432]

There is no sugar should be added. Just, water+coffee=deliciousness

That looks absolutely terrible in every way

2021 or 2022?

2021 because the 2021 World AeroPress Championship was postponed (due to covid) to March 5th, 2022. So this is the most recent winning recipe out there 🔥☕️
