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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

No apologies necessary!

that's a great tip, thanks for posting

Aw I have the same cup!

I will admit, washing it kinda sucks lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

It must be a hand-washing problem that you are too dishwasher to understand

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

eh? I must be too dishwasher to get the joke.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

I think he was referring to you using the dishwasher twice a day to wash the same mug

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That’s what I was thinking as well. But no, they were thinking I washed the aeropress 2x a day in the dishwasher!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Haha, no worries. It all makes sense now!

How do people like aeropresses overall?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

They're amazing honestly. Extra good for travel.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

Dunno but I love mine!

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Right on, how was it?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ah good point. Mine definitely has steps to it. stepless sounds nifty.
