AeroPress Coffee Maker XL

It's a brewing device for making filter coffee where coffee is steeped in a tube and then forced through a paper filter with a plunger.

Yes, you may put the AeroPress coffee maker in the dishwasher. The AeroPress is composed of BPA-free plastic that can resist dishwashing temperatures and water pressure. However, it is recommended that only the chamber and plunger components of the AeroPress be washed in the dishwasher, and that the other pieces, including the filters and cap, be hand washed. It is also crucial to remember that cleaning the AeroPress after each use with soap and water will help maintain its quality and extend its lifespan.

Espresso is ground coffee that has a layer of crema, which is a result of the pressure brewing process. The Aeropress method may not produce crema, as it is pressurised, but it is a long way off the 9 bar that would be considered espresso, not to mention the volumes are also different.

The AeroPress works best with a decent grinder. A good grinder produces evenly sized coffee grounds, which maximise coffee flavour. At Rave Coffee, we recommend using a burr grinder. Burr grinders break coffee beans more evenly than blade grinders because they use two abrasive surfaces. This prevents coffee over- or under-extraction, which might affect taste. A good grinder doesn't need to be expensive or high-end. It should work with the AeroPress if it grinds consistently and finely.
