Another Coffee Gadget
One of the things that arrived on Christmas morning was an "Aeropress" - a coffee maker that looks like a cross between laboratory equipment and a marital aid.
We tried it out using some of the coffee that also arrived - and it does make a surprisingly smooth cup of Americano. It was so smooth, in fact, that Dawnise drank it straight - no cream or sugar - a first in the time I've known her.
I haven't tried it as straight espresso yet, but I doubt it'll completely replace my other coffee makers, as I find it's brew to be a bit too smooth - and somewhat lacking in... something. Complexity? Or maybe I just like bitter coffee.
Oh, and I may be doing something wrong, but the resulting espresso is lacking in Crema.
But still, it's easy to use, quick to clean up, and produces a very drinkable cup.
