Aeropress Vs Moka Pot

Several months ago i moved next to an awesome local artisan coffee shop and started to really get into coffee.

Aeropress vs moka pot. Either way you re getting near espresso coffee without the hefty price of an espresso maker. Takes me about 5 6 minutes. You can get a respectable moka pot for around 30. The aeropress is very versatile and makes coffee with a moderate body.

What i found after getting to the end of my cup however was that the aeropress made a far cleaner cup than my moka pot and you could actually drink the last little bit of coffee in the cup. Love my aeropress and my bialetti. Note that neither fauxspresso is anything like a true espresso. For me the aeropress is for my morning cup but a moka pot is for a chill evening with friends or something where time is not an issue and sharing is encouraged.

I actually preferred the moka express better at first. Moka pot does not require a filter too. It s also very forgiving and a great method for beginners. From what i read on.

I would follow james hoffman s advice on how to brew with a moka pot start with hot water don t let it steam and shock it with ice water after you re done brewing. Use that as a baseline and then try it with the aeropress filter repeat 3 times. I like both but prefer the aeropress i d try inverted aeropress for low ratio low volume coffee. Essentially both the aeropress and the moka pot are quite similar.

I don t like things too strong cappuccino or latte person nor do i like the bitterness or extreme acidity of some coffees sensitive teeth. Looks like it may remove some of the oils.

A moka pot makes a fauxspresso as well but it s different from what an aeropress makes. Yes the moka pot takes about 5 6 minutes to heat. The only difference is that the pressure is far less in these two methods than in a typical espresso machine. The moka pot squeaks out a win here since even though the aeropress comes with all the equipment you need the moka pot has less overall equipment to take care of.

They both make use of pressure to brew coffee much like an espresso machine does. I also felt the aeropress made coffee a bit more like a super thick and robust french press coffee brew. I know most of you are livid with me for not reveling in the bitterness or acidity. From my own sampling i thought the moka pot made coffee that was a bit more potent more like espresso.

Moka pot produces some good and very interesting coffee. How are moka pots and aeropress similar. I love my moka pot. Aeropress is easier to adjust if you want a bit stronger coffee or a bit weaker you can adjust the ratio and brew time with moka pot there s exactly 1 size 1 ratio and you can t really change brewing time.
