DIY brewing methods such as aeropress, cold brew, pourover, syphon and their more well-known cousins such as French press and stove top coffee form another frontier in the exploration of coffee flavour. What’s more, they’re portable, cheap and easy to learn. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/03/black-coffee-revolution-get-brewing/feed/ 3 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/02/black-coffee-revolution-aeropress/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/02/black-coffee-revolution-aeropress/#comments Fri, 15 Feb 2013 06:38:17 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=5087 David Ruslie, Campos’ resident black coffee obsessive, walks us through aeropress, cold drip and pourover. He says there’s a growing interest in black coffee, because, sans milk and sugar, it really allows you to explore the flavour profiles of the coffees themselves. “Coffee appreciation...it’s catching up to wine appreciation. There’s a lot more tasting notes, say with wine you have 200 tasting notes. Well, with coffee, you have 800 tasting notes, it’s really incredible.” David says. Sure, the man or woman on the street doesn’t need to know all 800 to enjoy their ‘new brew’, but it’s handy, he says, to be able to identify which flavours you prefer. You may think you’re not a black coffee drinker, but maybe you just haven’t found the right bean or the right method. This week David shows us the simplest and most portable of the black coffee methods, aeropress. There are two main ways David uses the aeropress: the ‘normal’ method and the inverted method. In both cases, he advises that you pre-wet the paper filter with a few drops of water beforehand. To be precise, it’s also worth having a digital scale on hand to weigh your coffee and water, but you can also do it by sight. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/02/black-coffee-revolution-aeropress/feed/ 3
