Pro tip: Don't consume caffeine within about 1 hour of waking up. Waiting a bit gives your body time to clean up the sleep chemicals and get started on the being awake chemicals before you start adding to the mix.

There are a lot of articles about this out there (here's one), but they all say more or less the same thing, as far as I've been able to tell.

    Oh, interesting! I’m very, very guilty of doing the opposite of that. Making coffee is always the first activity of the day for me.

    Sorry I’m bumping a nearly month-old thread here, but big same. Making coffee for myself and my wife in the morning is one of the most enjoyable parts of my morning routine. I guess I should consider when I actually “wake up” and when I start consuming the coffee, but it’s almost certainly less than an hour most days.

    Weirdly, I’ve never had an issue with it. The dishwasher seems to get it clean every time. shrug

    How often do you run your dishwasher if you drink two aeropresses a day?

    Oooh. Haha, you gave me the ol lemmy switcharoo. I was saying that I put the mug in the dishwasher, not the aeropress! Aeropress gets rinsed and stored in it’s caddy/storage rack.

    Ah, after reading whole thread again it makes perfect sense. I was fixated on washing aeropress because I quite recently had a debate with my family about alternative coffee brewing methods and how easy it is to clean after them. That's why I thought it was about aeropress, not the mug haha. Sorry for the confusion.

    How do people like aeropresses overall?

    would recommend it to everyone. I don't use it every day, but there are a million and one ways to brew with it, it's very handy for traveling, it's super easy.

    I use it particularly for when I'm at the end of a bag of coffee and don't have enough left to do a French Press or a pour-over -- I have a couple of Aeropress recipes that use 10-12 grams.

    What an nifty cup!

    I might do the same, the drip coffee I make (primarily for my wife who prefers quantity over quality) does not scratch the itch like the aeropress does.

    Right on, how was it?

    The difference is truly night and day. Hardly any bitterness, and so much more flavor.

    Yea, that’s where I’m at too. Can’t really go back. I’m always sad with the coffee they have available for us at the office.

    I have a second brewing setup at work for just that reason. The cheapest part, ironically, is the Aeropress. The Aergrind is so good I got a second one so I don't have to worry about bringing it home in the weekends.

    Well now I’m intrigued, what’s the benefit of using an aergrind over an electric burr grinder?

    The Aergrind gets you step-less adjustment. I'm not familiar with an electric grinder that offers that at anywhere near the same price point. It's also very capable of espresso grinds. I have a Solis Barista Perfetta Plus espresso machine, and I can very easily dial in the grind setting for a specific bean/roast and pull some really tasty shots.
