This may be old news or glaringly obvious, but last night I had a revelation...
I felt like having a pour over, but I do not have the equipment to make one. I do however, have an earopress. I initially tried making a pour over with the paper filters (My new s-Filter is on it's way) but the flow was too slow, so I started hunting around for alternatives and came across my stash of empty coffeesnobs bags and a lightbulb went off.
I used a paper filter as a guide and cut out a almost-circular filter, good enough to make a good seal in the aeropress. I set my grinder fairly course and checked out the ratios and timings and I was off...
The result was surprisingly good. Not quite as good as a V60 or what I get from my favorite coffee shop, but it satisfied my desire for pourover. I'm sure that with a little tweaking I'll get the recipe down pat.
I also used the cloth filter in a normal Aeropress extraction and I was very happy with the results. There was a very small anount ov extremely fine setiment in the cup and the flavour was slightly different from a paper filter.
I have re-puropsed many household items in th persuit of the perfect cuppa, and this follows the same trend. I had to share.
One question, perhaps Andy would know best, but tips and feedback are welcome:
Can anyone see any possible adverse effects from using the cofeesnobs bags from a health perspective?
