@speltips How much grounds should be used?
#8 | Written by speltips about 6 months ago.

dont make how-to… when you actually dont know how to do it.
and she is even working @ a café
follow these steps instead:

-fill your filter AND make sure the grounds are evenly spread before tamping
-hold the tamper with your index and thumb at the base to help keep it even and easely spread the grounds.
-tamp first with moderate pressure WHILE turning the tamper to even the grounds even more
-tamp a 2nd time with as much pressure you can / around 15kg make sure that the result is level

it really doesnt matter how you hold the tamper.. its how you use it.

I’ve made something close to espresso by pouring boiling water on the grounds (up to level 2, as here) and immediately pressing hard (no stirring). To me, the flavor is pretty close, with almost no bitterness and some of the creamy smoothness.

Great coffee, but is not an espresso.

It’s an insult to the art of espresso making to call this espresso. For espresso you need 9 bars of pressure which you don’t get here. I would rather rate Aeropress between French press and Moka pot.

Fail, this is not an espresso.
#16 | Written by inferniorum about 6 months ago.

Agree with MarkGraeme. This is NOT espresso. What a joke. Wheres the crema?
#17 | Written by beachbobc about 6 months ago.

There are always temperature, pressure, grind and operator variables. The Aeropress delivers uniform heat, (few machines can) and operator chosen, significant pressure. Genuine espresso with crema, and no bitterness is the result. No need to preheat the group, and no tamping or temperature “surfing.” Interestingly, the designers tested many temperatures with expert tasters, and got the best results with water at about 175 F. Espresso machine sellers will naturally badmouth this product.

Maybe so. But you should try it before you jump to conclusions. The crema tells you it’s not just a regular pressed coffee.

Mainstream1967 is right on the money. What he did was no more then any coffee press would do, it’s pressed coffee NOT Espresso
