It really is foolproof. Almost.
Last weekend I was away with friends in the Yorkshire dales in England. (Gorgeous place seriously but I'm also a native so I'm biased). We had a farmhouse and I took it upon myself to be coffee man. Unfortunately I only made one coffee for a friend the entire time. No one was really bothered! Not that I was crest fallen I just got on with it. But I only took the aeropress, some filters, flow control cap, scoop and some ueshima beans from a UK supermarket. I made no attempt to weigh. I scooped. I ground in my p0. I eyeballed the levels. I steeped. I pressed. And I got. Pretty decent brews. It made me happy. No temp control kettle. And that's the beauty of it.
I'm a bit gutted actually because one property we went in one year had a 12 cup filter machine and I was the most popular person in the kitchen. But I just eyeballed that as well!
No flexes no dramatic discoveries just a good UX and nice results. Can't grumble at that.
(AP clear)
I was tempted to take a photo outside with the landscape but everyone already thought I was nuts.
Oh and another friends husband brought and lost his moka pot. I was raging. 😂 Found it as we were packing up didn't he!
