The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

AeroPress Pumps it Up (dailycoffeenews.com)

At most, I made two cups using the standard Aeropress with Hoffman's recipe. But this Aeropress XL gives me the idea of making large batch for making iced coffee through the week.

But for the price... I think I'd still go with large clever dripper. Even though at most I could only put 450 ml in.

Anyone excited for this XL?

My #1 problem with all coffee brewing with any process, but especially aeropress, is clogged filters limiting rate of water movement. If AeropressXL uses a bigger filter, I'm likely to try it to see if that improves brewing.

Typically the regular aeropress filter clogs badly enough when pressing (almost regardless of grind size or sifting fines) that it slows to a trickle. Press harder and the coffee leaks out the side of the filter. It's frustrating.

Interesting.. I've never had issues with filter clogs even with finer grind size. Anyway, the article said that it has larger filter diameter. So, maybe it's worth to test it
