Ive been making coffee for over a year now with my trusty aero press and Kyocera hand grinder to good results. My mother recently upgraded her machine and Ive been given her old one which I mostly took just to have a play around with.
Ive made two cups today, both are quite decent but also both very different.
At this stage what Im not so sure about is what should I be looking for when Im pouring to know when to stop? I can leave the machine running and it would pour coffee out until it runs out of water but obviously this isnt how things are done.
Do I stop when the cup reaches a certain amount, or when the colour changes? Im a bit clueless. I watched a video tutorial for the machine on youtube but it completely glazed over this point.
Hopefully someone can clear this up for me so I can start making some good coffee. The problem with the aeropress for me is that I never drink the stuff straight or long black, so Im missing out on that lovely crema for my lattes (Although yesterday I did discover a method to get SOME crema in the cup which resulted in probably one of the best cups Ive made to date.)
