Do you like the icy taste of iced latte, with the richness of coffee and the sweetness of milk, but don't have a coffee machine? This article teaches you how to make a simple and delicious iced latte with an AeroPress in just ten steps!
4. 17g fresh coffee beans 6. A sturdy glass for brewing and drinking 7. Shaker (or other suitable vessel) 8. Pour-over kettle (a gooseneck kettle is best)
What coffee beans are suitable for making AeroPress?
To avoid the latte tasting too sour or bland, it is recommended to prioritize medium and dark roast categories, such as Front Street Coffee Paradise Bird, Front Street Coffee Queen's Estate, Front Street Coffee Golden Mandheling, and Front Street Coffee Huilan, etc.; but if you are more sensitive to bitterness, then fruit-acid type drip bags with a fermented feel are more recommended, such as Front Street Coffee Caturra, Front Street Coffee Strawberry Candy, Front Street Coffee Sunflower Warm Sun Blend, etc., because they combine candied fruit, fermented wine aroma, and certain caramelized flavors, so they pair better with milk.
How to make an AeroPress latte
Alright, without further ado, next Front Street Coffee will share how to use the AeroPress to make a cup of high-concentration coffee! The brewing parameters are as follows:
Beans used: Front Street Coffee Colombia HuilanCoffee-to-water ratio: 1:3 (because the coffee grounds will absorb a certain amount of water, after many tests Front Street Coffee found that 1:3 is the most suitable coffee-to-water ratio)Grind setting: espresso grind (flour-like)Brewing water temperature: 94°CSo first, let's assemble this "syringe" and then turn it upside down.
Then add the coffee grounds and hot water in order.
Stir 10 times and wait one minute.
When the time is up, we put on the cap and take a prepared cup and invert it on top. Then, hold the AeroPress and the cup tightly and flip the whole thing over.
Finally, apply some force to the plunger and press down slowly.
When it is pressed all the way down, the brewing is complete! As you can see, although this cup of coffee is small in quantity, its color is very black, which means it has a fairly high concentration! Take a sip, hey! That's the flavor!So, what everyone is most concerned about now, Front Street Coffee believes, is what effect it will have when used to make a latte. Very good, Front Street Coffee immediately whipped up a portion of milk foam to make it, with the following parameters:Then we got a cup of milk coffee that looks pretty good!
But after taking a sip, Front Street Coffee found that, emmm... it is slightly weak, but it also carries quite a lot of chocolate, cream, and nut aromas. Although the flavor intensity is not as strong as that from a coffee machine, there is not a trace of negative aftertaste, and throughout the whole process there is both coffee aroma and milk aroma. We all agreed that it is worth recommending.
Is the AeroPress worth recommending
The AeroPress combines the immersion extraction method of a French press, the paper filtration of pour-over coffee, and the rapid, pressure extraction principle of espresso. So in theory, coffee brewed with an AeroPress can combine the richness of espresso, the clarity of pour-over coffee, and the smoothness of a French press. In fact, the AeroPress is no less fun to experiment with than pour-over, and the reason relatively few people use it is not that the AeroPress is expensive or complicated, but that there are too many variables, making it relatively harder to get started. In other words, the AeroPress may be "hard to learn," but it is not at all "hard to master."
