I think it's just your coffee becoming stale, Oct 19 is almost 3 weeks old, enough time for it to become stale, depending on storage conditions. Have you tried freezing your beans and taking it out in portions as you need them? it will greatly extend your "window", tasting pretty much the same as th...

Remember that French Press, having a metal filter, means that your cup will not only contain dissolved solids, but it will also contain undissolved solids (suspended fines), and also lipids (coffee oils), all of this can severely alter your readings. That's why syringe filters such as the one sold b...

Do try it! it makes all the difference, it converts the aeropress from a full immersion brewer to a forced percolation brewer since it isolates the water and grounds until you start pressing, the ROC works pretty much the same! I get nice crema that doesn't dissipate easily (even after being transfe...

You can get pretty damn close to a moka-pot coffee and even espresso-like brew with an Aeropress if you: - grind espresso fine with a good espresso capable grinder. - overdose a bit (17g x 60ml water) - use a metal filter - tamp with the help of the plunger - put a paper filter on top of the

You could try rapidly cooling the coffee and then reheat it, makes sense, i've had better experience in taste carrying freshly brewed iced-coffee (japanese method) in a thermos for a couple of hours than with hot coffee. Reheating iced coffee sounds a bit risky, but it might work. Other than that, i...

Get plastic or stainless steel drippers instead! Hario offers the v60 in plastic or stainless steel alongside glass and ceramic, and Kalita has the wave dripper in stainless steel
