Immersion Coffee Brewing Is Better Than Percolation

Neewer Products I Use:

James calling the ek43 a “stock and common grinder” feels like giving your house a deep clean, and then when guests come over, apologizing for “the mess”

[SK-ivml]

I like to think that James doesn't use any hair products but rather the amount of coffee he drinks makes his hair stand up the way it does

[TheBigRig]

The hype for James’ Aeropress video can’t get any higher at this point.

I enjoy coffee very much but hardly ever been worthy of the label coffee snob. I enjoy cheap joe at 711 same way I enjoy it at a fancy cafe and rarely know any difference nor could I tell you how most of these brewing devices work or explain terminology of beverages. But I ADORE. THIS. CHANNEL. You have the most pleasantly soothing voice, near ASMR like in quality, and you are so passionate and ethical and down to earth and even historically educational in your delivery. I could play you to relax anxieties or to fall soft down to sleep or focus on tasks . No crazy annoying bells and whistles. Just a man who loves his coffee and wants to share how you can enjoy it better too. Wish there were many more channels like you.

At this point I watch these videos for two reasons:
1) to learn about coffee
2) to read the always-hilarious comment section

James: "This common grinder, EK43"
Me: *crying in peasantries*

[DragonballG.]

James’s combination of geek chic, composed speech and subtle charm really is a joy to watch, immense coffee knowledge aside.

That "stock" coffee grinder costs as much as a small car.

To me, the advantage of immersion is that it keeps the contact time between coffee and water independent from grind size. With pourover both technique and grind size impact contact time, as alluded to in the video. By making them independent you allow diffusion rate to be controlled via grind size while you manually control contact time. That's an extra degree of freedom in tuning your recipe.

Oh great, now my French press is insufferably pleased with itself.

The aeropress trolling has really ramped up a notch in recent weeks.

[TravisHam]

7 months ago I was considering better alternatives to the Keurig I'd been using for years. This video was a huge reason I opted to switch to a French Press. As I'm out and about throughout my week, I'm consistently grateful & amazed that the coffee I find most delicious is the coffee I brew at home. Thanks James!

[baldbadger]

I really appreciate the fact that James just spoiled the result in the title, letting people who don't care the experiment know the result right away, and at the same time delivers clear reasoning in the video. This title will not let James make more youtube money, but he does it anyway because he wants to let more people know coffee better

"... but the Aeropress is something we will talk about another time." - I literally shouted out: "BASTARD!"

[NoName-ot]

That knowing nod that an ultimate guide is coming...

[AMTunLimited]

Ok, I'll say it. The switch from voice over to on screen for the beginning of the ad read was damn smooth. You didn't need to do that, but it was such a nice touch for the pacing and I appreciate the extra effort

[johnelder]

Explains why my initial attempts at cold brew tasted so awful, sometimes almost as sour as vinegar. Once I got my grind size larger, I got delicious brews. Yet, I had used very find grinds with my blade grinder and had really enjoyed French press coffee. Thanks for helping me make a little more sense of my world!

[NoamCat]

This is an amazing, simple technique. You actually don’t need a French Press for this. I just used this method with the same ratio in a Pyrex measuring cup. No straining necessary — I just poured it slowly and had no sediment in my cup. This is the first time in a while that I’m drinking black coffee. Thank you James.

We’ve all made it through 2020. Think we deserve the aeropress video

[jonerlanc]

I’m going to pass out with happiness when the aeropress video drops 😂
