I've never tried Aeropress. I'm a big coffee guy do you think its better than my Delonghi espresso machine ?
Discussion
It's different, no way to quantify. Some claim to make Espresso like shots with it but it's not comparable IMHO. Even built a contraption to increase the force on the plunger to test the limits of what's possible years ago and it still wasn't close to Espresso. No way you're getting a thick crema from that.
I jump a lot between pour over drip coffee (V60), filter coffee (Aeropress) and my portafilter Espresso machine, depending on taste, texture, caffeine preference and mood. I prefer fruitier, more modern roasts for V60/Aeropress.
Thanks I'm gonna look into it
