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.

I've been really happy with the following lately:

16g:275ml coffee:water, coffee ground on the fine side of medium. Wet paper filter, 205 degrees Fahrenheit water, conventional brew, 10 minute extraction, swirl to settle grounds to bottom of the press, and a gentle plunge.

It's considerably more work than a prismo recipe, but I think its well worth it

Just riding your coat tails to point out another fun tidbit about the Aeropress, which is that it’s very portable! I pack mine anytime I travel, and there are even a few hand-crank grinders that will fit nicely into the Aeropress cylinder itself - so that all you need are tasty beans and hot water!

I’ve tried lots of great local coffees just by hitting up the local grocery stores or coffee houses, and brewing them up at our hotel or BnB!
