Aeropress - anyone have one?

You use it with paper filters, or did you also import the metal disks?
Has anyone bought the S-Filter (with the Mesh)

Which method do you use - normal/inverted method?

 

[janinki]

Love my aeropress and use the inverted method

 

[mister]

Also use an aeropress. Never tried the inverted method. Will give it a go tomorrow. Anyone know if anybody stocks the metal disks here?

hmmm, cleanup is not so easy with the metal filter.

I went ahead and bought the S filter anyway and cleanup is actually not an issue. I make my coffee, and when I come back for the next cup, the metal filter just slides off the puck, and I give it a quick rinse, and then I eject the puck. I don't know what all the fuss is about.

I bought it from yuppiechef: www.yuppiechef.com/able.htm?id=11125&name=Able-Stainless-Steel-AeroPress-Disk-Filter-Standard

Love my S-filter, the other metal filters are now ornaments.

I use mine with a paper filter, no mess no fuss.

I switched to metal because I don't want the cafestol and kahweol filtered out with paper.

On a side note, I came across this store in Cape Town that sells the aeropress much cheaper than the other places

Please ignore above post. Emailed them and price is actually R465. That was an old newsletter that wasn't updated.

Best thing I've bought lately. Woolies organic espresso beans + Aeropress = heaven.

What's the diff between this and a normal plunger?

What's the diff between this and a normal plunger?

A plunger makes something closer to filter coffee, the aeropress makes something closer to espresso.

A plunger makes something closer to filter coffee, the aeropress makes something closer to espresso.

So it produces a crema?
