Apologies for not uploading last week. I've been very busy with my kids getting sick and a few other personal matters to attend to. I literally had only a few minutes of free time in the morning before I dived into work. Good thing I am using this task manager to help me organize... sorry just kidding I'm not sponsored by anyone.
So for the past two weeks, I didn't really have any breaks more than 15 minutes to sit down and enjoy my coffee. I just needed caffeine straight away and then I was back to work. This inspired me to try out some espresso-style coffee using the Aeropress. This is coffee made to mimic the strength of espresso coffee minus the crema that espresso machines make.
I looked at quite a lot of videos and tried out all of them before I made my own take on espresso-style coffee.
My verdict is that this style doesn't really recreate what an espresso is but rather just the taste. Yes, it is strong but not as strong as an espresso. But if you need a quick shot of coffee, then making it with the Aeropress is possible.
Of course, you can also buy accessories from Aeropress to create that espresso with faux crema. I am planning to buy one in the future once things at home have settled in and I have a bit of cash to spare. Oddly enough, Aeropress prices in the Philippines have risen quite a lot in the past few months.
