A note of Moka Pot to Aeropress (lemmy.ml)

Some time ago I commented that one of my favorite ways to brew coffee is on a moka pot which I then aeropress to clean out the particulates. Many responded that they just put an aeropress filter on the moka pot for the same results. So, I tried it. The resulting brew is VERY different and, to me, not good at all.

It seems that the aeropress filter in the moka pot is removeding the brew by requiring more pressure to boil over. The result is a bitter brew that loses any subtlety in flavor.

If you are someone that uses the "filter in pot" method, please try brewing the cup unfiltered and then pressing it. Let me know what you think.

It's fascinating how individual changes can make such big differences in the type and quality of coffee.

It's quite likely that some of the people enjoy the taste that you hate, and wouldn't like it if they tried brewing without that filter!

One reason I love the coffee hobby so much is that there's so much room for experimentation.
