I’m going to be competing in the world aeropress championships that are being held this year at the world Barista Championships in London this year. It seemed like a good idea to enter, it seemed like the good thing to do, but now I’m thinking what am I going to do and maybe not such a hot idea.
So what is this blog post about ? Well I’m ready for inspiration. Call it copying, but I have always stood by the fact that home users know more than the professionals. you have more times to play discover and push the boundaries of what is possible. I learnt more from home user than anything I’ve learnt from professionals.
So a cheap shot to pinch ( I mean develop) your ideas for aeropress. To read the rules look here and share with me your great ideas of how I can win this thing. Comments will be stolen by others so email me (or leave a comment if you don’t know and I’ll have your email address) and I promise to give you the biggest shout out in the comp if I steal (sorry borrow) your idea.

hrmph.
Think about reusing the aeropress filter paper. (Thoroughly rinsed in hot water!). It might not look pretty, but i always get a better cup on a 2nd (or 3rd) use of the paper than on the 1st.

I have been doing an upside down aeropress with mega coarse grind and letting it brew for between 3-4 minutes. Seems to make the coffee taste a little cleaner and not so dramatic in taste.
so excited!! i even had a dream about it already! (although ben will compete as me, but that should be easy, he’s mastering my accent to perfection by now). aeropressssss!
