New favorite coffeemaker
I like espresso coffee, but it is hard to get when rigged for travel. I have found 2 kiosks (Newport OR and Delta Jct AK) where you can drive up and buy my favorite 4 shot americano from the driver's side window of my 60 ft RV+toad.
So I was intrigued to read about a manual press device, similar to a french press coffeemaker that was said to make a cup of nearly espresso. At $25.00 I took achance on it and find it really works.
Aeropress, available from Amazon is clear plastic and rubber with a small paper filter.
Start 2 cups of water in the microwave ( 4 min) for 175F temp.
Place filter paper in black holder and bayonet mount it to reaction chamber.
Pour in 1-4 scoops of fine ground coffee.
set reaction chamber atop coffee cup.
pour in hot water to the line for the number of scoops
stir with paddle for 10 seconds
attach plunger and slowly push the brewed coffee throughout he filter into the cup.
remove reaction chamber and pour the rest of the hot water into the cup and enjoy. Total elapsed time 5-6 minutes.
Cleanup is a quick rinse. Washing not needed.
