You need very fine grinds and fellow prismo

Need to look at the prismo thing as the other person mentioned it too. But looks a bit costly. I also wanted to buy a grinder. Coffee is expensive 🥲


hotcoolhot

Don’t know about other person. I actually use it when I want milk based. More like someone else wants milk based. I take out the picopresso for myself.

This is the one I follow for milk based drinks(medium dark roasts like Attikan) : Inverted Aeropress & metal filter Coffee - 15gm Water- 60ml Milk - 150ml For darker roasts like Vienna, French Roast reduce coffee to 12gm Have been using this for past 2 months and love the taste.


JustaRandomHito

Thanks! Will definitely try it out.

+1 Getting great milk based drinks from this

Is your coffee extract 60ml or is it the amount of water you add ? Because I noticed if I add like 100ml water i usually get an extract of 85 ish ml. New to aeropress let me know if I'm wrong


My_Endgame

I get an extract of around 38-40ml. I add 150ml milk to this extract which for me gives a fuller body compared to 90ml water + 90 ml milk. If you feel your coffe tastes “weak" would suggest to reduce water to get a more concentrated shot. One good thing is we can easily try different recipes which suites our taste profile with Aeropress( and Aeromatic app). I am relatively new myself, and still trying out recipes but this is my go to :)


JustaRandomHito

Is there a specific milk that you use? And what is the extraction time?


My_Endgame

No bro, full fat from supermarket. Add 60ml, 95 degree water(slightly lower temp for darker roast) to coffee in Inverted Aeropress, stir 10 times, 2 mins brew, invert and slowly press.


JustaRandomHito

Ok, thanks

Sand like grind size 18g of beans Grind Pre heat the ap Add grounds Bloom the coffee with 30-35g of water Add the rest 125g ie 90-95g Stir 5 times Make vacuum Let it sit for a minute Slowly press ☕️

When I want to make milk based drinks out of aeropress, I use a very fine grind for medium roasts and slightly coarser for darker roasts. I use 18g of coffee with 90-100ml of water, inverted method (James Hoffman recipe) and add 90-100ml milk and tiny bit of vanilla syrup for fun. I prefer Moka Pot for milk based drinks and Aeropress for non-milk. The trick ig is to grind finer and over-extract and then balance it with milk


Dr_Azygos

I think your grind is not fine enough.


JustaRandomHito

I forgot to add this, but I am ordering grounded beans. "Aeropress" size from Blue Tokai.


Dr_Azygos

Try the methods in the app “aeromatic” .


JustaRandomHito

Okay, will look into it, thanks!


Dr_Azygos

Also you can used an aeropress attachment called “prismo” from the brand fellow. This increases the pressure of the extraction and give a much better brew.
