A week away and I really missed decent coffee. I had access to a filter machine and bought some ground coffee for it. Frankly it was rather grim. Coming back to freshly ground decent beans and made in the Aeropress was most welcome!

But, but, butā¦ the smaller the cafetiere, the shorter the time it will need to brew. Also, donāt plunge and leave, you have to pour it into another vessel, otherwise it keeps on brewing.

yes, not leaving it to stand after plunging is crucial, otherwise it will end up tasting like shit.
We used a thermos jug to keep it warm for decanting duties after plunging

Donāt worry, the 30th August roasting date means that it will be better 5-7 days hence. It will be very gassy at the moment.

The French are welcome to itā¦
I like the way that they describe exactly how to add the 750ml of water, but give you the coffee amount to use per litre. Just so you have to do some mental arithmetic. Itās the added inconvenience that makes the real difference.

Faff - because youāre worth it.
Now the EU are forcing us Brits to drink coffee this way.
Proof, if it were needed, that we should just leave now regardless of the impending economic catastrophe that awaits us.

So, have you tried it yet?
Iām wading through a bag of ground espresso that someone bought me at the moment. Wrong grind size etc., but seems churlish to not use it because of that.
