Once again, my predictions were right. Coffee is good for you! Actually, I've known this along time despite the bad rap that coffee got with the health officials. So, because of the new guidelines just released on how coffee can actually be good for a you, I wanted to feature my newly found friend. It's called the AeroPress. Bike man bought this handy device about a year ago, but I wasn't really using it because we had our fancy dancy automatic espresso coffee maker. Well, now that fancy dancy espresso maker has decided to quite working, so this was the perfect time to start using a less complicated device.
Just to prove how easy it is to make a delicious cup of coffee....or espresso, let me show you. Unscrew the bottom of the AeroPress and put your coffee filter in place. FYI, you do have to buy these little coffee filters.
Grind your coffee beans on espresso setting, or purchase already ground espresso beans. Two scoops!
Boil 8-9 oz water, then place your AeroPress over a nice wide coffee cup and slowly pour the hot water into the device. You do get a little paddle with the AeroPress that you can use to lightly stir the water and coffee grounds inside.
After pouring all the water inside, I wait about 20 sections, then I use the plunger and slowly start pushing down to express all the water into the coffee cup.
If you're interested in the AeroPress, just look on Amazon.com.
