I tried doing things like that and found it unnecessarily risky, particularly when an Aeropress avoids the problem entirely.

To be fair, you can make a big mess with the Aeropress while you push down on the plunger, so maybe I shouldn't praise its safety either.

I wish I had bought an Aeropress at first and never bought anything else. It's a fast and forgiving way of making yummy coffee ranging anywhere from moka-level strength down to drip level strength. It is trivially easy to clean, too.

Something I love about it is that you can start the kettle and while that's happening you can grind the coffee and get the Aeropress ready, which saves time. With a moka pot you are forced to do the coffee grinding and the water boiling in strict sequence, which unnecessarily increases the time from "I want a cuppa" to "This is delicious!".

Cultured butter it is, then. It adds some extra funk. I bet you will love it. 🫶

Butter is fine in my experience. How much did you put in there? You only need a tiny bit.

The breakfast of champions!

And if you like condensed milk but it is too sweet for your taste, I've found evaporated milk to be an excellent choice.

That sounds delicious. Please do tell.

Fuck all these haters. I'm going to try this tomorrow and once I recover from the stomach cramps it will inevitably give me I will post the results.

When I first got the Aeropress I experimented a bit. All good fun, but in the end I have settled on following basically Hoffmann's recipe. It is easy to remember, easy to perform, and produces consistently yummy results.

Instead of spending time finding other recipes, I would focus on finding better coffee beans.
