Anyone else use an AeroPress?  They really are amazing especially at only $30.

I was thinking about getting one of those presses eventually. Seems like they are getting more and more popular.

My counselor broke out with one at my last appointment and gave me a cup of black coffee, since then I have been drinking it that way.

I like the bite now.

I would highly recommend a metal screen to go with it.  I love the oils and you lose them if you use a paper filter.  The AeroPress with a metal screen makes better coffee than a french press and it leaves NO fines in the cup whatsoever.

Well I pour the boiling water over the espresso grounds, but I think watering down espresso is technically an Americana too :lol:

An americano is pouring water into an espresso shot to water it down and add volume to be drank like an american style coffee.  Just because you use dark (espresso) beans doesn't make it an espresso.  You need to use an espresso machine which uses around 9 bars of pressure.

Pouring water over coffee is aptly called a pourover.

Black coffee is also healthier than pouring sugar and cream into you stomach every morning, better for your teeth too. I actually like the taste of coffee so black is the way to go and grinding the beans make for a fresher tasting cup.
Well I guess it's time to go make some. :stoned: :coffee:

Yeah but tea taste like leaf water and doesn't pack the punch that coffee does.

Well.. CS, or real teas will never pack a punch as you said, like coffe does, but there are full bodies black teas which are round and strong in taste... I know of a quite cheap Golden Downy which is a favourite of mine amongst black teas..

If you get into spiced teas and herbql teas, they might pack quite the punch as you said.. some chai thing with capsacin or something, and peppermint oil.. it will be burning and freezing at once...

if you want bitterness, I recommend Calea Zacatechichi...

I would never trust McDonald's employees to be pouring espresso shots for me :eek:

Also, OP I know a little about tea (mostly kratom tea) but that one is in a league of its own and I feel America in general is a little behind on it. I like black and chai teas a lot but other than that, I can't give you much info on them.

McDonald's espresso is identical to any other big chain with shitty automatic machines.  They just push a button and "espresso" comes out.  It's always garbage though.  You have to go to a real coffee shop if you want good espresso.

Ahh alright.. I thought they were going through the process of grinding, tamping and pouring. Continue on McDonald's you may make espresso in peace.
