Coffee making accessories for the coffee wanker in your life

[Orang Utan]

Because you seemed to be under a misconception about the faff involved and having used both methods, I was suggesting one that makes a nicer brew.

I only want the one I posted. Not splashing out on something as dear as an Aeropress just for a morning coffee.

Just?!

 

[Orang Utan]

Just?!

Yes. I just need it to get me out of the house.

 

[Orang Utan]

ooops think I have my wires crossed. Just googled the price of an aeropress and it’s not the thing I was thinking of. I thought they cost a couple of hundred or more and were about the size of a breadmaker. Two people I know have them. I wonder what they are

 

[Orang Utan]

Still not getting one though. Wanna measure the coffee myself

You can with an aero press.

Don’t they come in sachets or capsules?

 

[Orang Utan]

Still not getting one.
now just cos everyone else has got one

Think of it like a massive syringe. Mainlining into your cup

No, you just put coffee in. I've even got one at work.

Less than the one you're buying... and a few quid more gets you one with stainless filters.

The only problem with an aeropress is you don’t get a huge volume of coffee.

But isn’t it all about concentrating it so you don’t need a lot?

I like a proper mug of coffee. You only get about half a mug. Maybe you can dilute it but I like my coffee strong.

That’s why I’m getting one of these:

You just add even more coffee so the stuff it produces is a true concentrate and add water to that.

I'm no stranger to buying tat of AliExpress, but you know that's going to be shit.

Neither of those things have been discussed

Is it not an exact copy of an aeropress, but better?

No the plastic will be thinner, the seals will fail and it will just feel cheap.

The internet seems to think otherwise.

The internet seems to think otherwise.

OK, in fairness the reviews seem ok and I might have given one a go as second device.

That said I've had my first aeropress years, and it's still going strong, so I don't think they're bad value. The second one I bought recently came with a bag of decent coffee, which made it even cheaper.

I thought the Aeropress was overpriced for a bit of plastic, but I saw those ones on Aliexpress, and the price seemed much more realistic/reasonable.
I might buy one and leave it at my mother's, as she doesn't do proper coffee, and I can't drink instant muck.

It’s a cafetière you plunge into your cup!

Wake up sheeple!

Sounds like the bean to cup machines. Add beans and water, push button, get espresso. I appreciate the simplicity straight out of bed.

No, these have capsules that look a bit like the ones that jelly stocks come in

 

[iona]

No, these have capsules that look a bit like the ones that jelly stocks come in

Nespresso (other machines that do the same thing but aren't nespresso brand are also available)

Because coffee that's just as bad as bad instant coffee AND uses a fuckload of single use plastic is just what everyone needed.

Bean to cup machine use beans. The clue is in the name.

And the cups aren’t big enough

Getting one of these so I can say goodbye to weak instant without any fuss or bother:
