(36,827 posts)36. Different coffee making devices produce coffee with different character
There are literally hundreds of flavors in a coffee bean and different extraction methods extract different flavors. The Aeropress produces coffee that is very similar to a commercial coffee maker called the Clover, which costs upwards of $10,000 and are found in some of the best coffee houses. So it's pretty cool that a device that costs $26 can pretty closely replicate a cup produced in a $10,000 machine.
If you check the youtubes, there's plenty of videos about alternate methods of using the Aeropress. They are pretty popular with the coffee geek crowd.
