That's exactly what I did the first time I used the Aeropress! (and ever since ) Just seemed logical to a) cool the just-boiled water, b) pre-warm the cup c) determine the volume Also, we were in a hotel at the time and had brought a lovely Colombian COE and a Solis grinder No thermometers... just the beans, bottle of water, a kettle and cupsRichard wrote:Try pouring boiling water into a cold cup then into your Aeropress.
Unlike you, I do like espresso My flatmate has a steam toy which I use for the milk only So I tend to have a very concentrated brew to make a pseudo-capp in the morning But I want to also start enjoying it more as a longer sans-milk beverage... hence my post on this today I've tended to use a closer to espresso grind but without any of my grinders with me here , I think a cheapo burr grinder for coarser (less precise) grinding is now inescapable
Currently, I've only purchased pre-ground of roasted-that-day coffee... so I've only drank my coffees two days in a row, maybe three tops, before leaving it to my flatmate to finish
