I went through this debate myself and ended on the Encore ESP with a 3rd party bellows. I use the wet beans trick for static issues and the bellow deals with my zero retention needs. It is loud however otherwise perfect for aeropress and V60 duty.

I'm interested, but I doubt I really qualify.

Towards the end you could easily load custom kernels to try and make the os less laggy. Ahh those were the days ..

The pre 2 was the sweet version, but webos is all I ever wanted. 😭

And I just updated my server to the .3 release 😅

I've been thinking about this some more and I suspect when you change over to metal filter your brew may be a lot closer to the French press. Let us know! I'm still rocking the paper filters.

Also, which coffee are you using?

Sweet deal. Yeah you'll figure out what works for your flow. It's fun to play with.

[–] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, a smaller mug for the aeropress for sure. It's only like 220ml I think

Ohhhh, I'll have a Wegmans near me soon. 👍

I've used it on decaf medium roast, Kona, and my current Kona blend and it works great, but I needed to adjust the amount of coffee as it can brew pretty strong for my tastes. I go between 14g and 12g of coffee and use a grind size equal to that I use on the V60, which is 26/27 on my Encore ESP.

I use water that's 175 F, which is close enough. I also put in more water... I have the plunger pulled all the way below the number 4 and pour water all the way to just before the top to leave a small space to stir without making a mess. I think it's like 225 or so ml. I use a chopstick to stir.

I also see a few other second places ones that are only a few steps. For me the aeropress recipe needs to be like 4 steps and take under a minute.

I use the winning recipe from the world championship, from the second one (2009). You like brew the coffee for 15 seconds and then done. I only use 14g max, but it's basically instant coffee that tastes like great coffee.

Ahh I found it:

Coffee: 19.5–20g Grind: Slightly coarser than filter grind Water: 200ml @ 75°C Brewer: Inverted Filter: Paper, soaked

Directions:

  1. Stir 4 times
  2. Stop stirring, secure the filter and turn at around 10 seconds (total contact time around 15 sec.)
  3. Press and serve

How is it? I've never purchased a bag.
