Aeropress to French Press: Homebrewing Techniques 101
There are many benefits to making your own coffee at home: it's more affordable, your order is always just right, and you can customize your drink ingredients exactly to your taste and diet preferences. If you're ready to upgrade your house blend with a few new home brewing techniques, read on! We're reviewing three brewing methods that you might not have tried before.
Aeropress
Moka Pot
This stovetop espresso coffee maker1 produces a strong cup and is perfect for homemade Americanos2, hot or iced. The pot is easy to use and quite durable, lasting decades if properly cared for. Use fine grounds to make coffee in this style. Because of the heat of the water and the pressure used during extraction, Moka pot coffee tends to be strong, a bit bitter, and bold. If you love espresso but don't want to spring for an expensive machine, consider trying a Moka pot!
French Press
This method steeps grounds in hot water before filtering the grounds with a plunger. French press3, or press pot, coffee is becoming increasingly popular, perhaps in part because of the ease of use and affordability of brands on the market. Coffee made in a press pot is quite bold and tastes best when made with freshly ground beans.
