Touch-screen energy espresso coffee machine interface built with S171D kit. Baristas and technicians have two different interfaces to the machine according to very different needs. Technicians can change every working parameter by the slide of a finger. The hardware runs on a monochrome LCD driven by an Atmel AT90CAN128 (AVR) microcontroller. The board runs Eurek's Touch8 GUI (graphical user interface), which provides also a PC backend for easy development. Board is S171D from Eurek.

doesitwork.net walks you through how to use an AeroPress coffee espresso maker. Both a how-to and a review, you'll see how the device works and the end-results.
@dureyes Thanks for the compliment. I have used other brands of Moka Pots and similar stove-top brewing methods. In my opinion the Moka Pots / stove-tops make fine coffee, although the Aeropress seems to emphasize the sweeter, lighter notes that come from a particular variety of beans, while the Moka pots / stove-tops seem to end up leaving a more bold / acidic cup. The Aeropress will give you very low acidity pretty much with any beans. And clean up is super quick & easy, by the way.
Great video, I clicked on the like icon but it was disabled. I will take your word on it that it makes a great espresso, but its too much clean up for me it seems. I use the Bialetti when Im in the mood for a strong espresso. Have you used the Bialetti Moka Express ? And how would you compare taste? Thank you.
@odranoelxxxx yep, I was pretty much an espresso noob at the time, and I 100% concur that it's not true espresso. Though it does still make delicious concentrated coffee that, with some nicely foamed milk, will stand in for a true latte in a pinch
@messfeeder I would agree, it's not really espresso. However when I heard about this the first time, it was while listening to Leo Laporte (The Tech Guy) and on the show they described it as a "coffee maker", not as an espresso maker. They used it to make cups of coffee (I guess you could say American style), and everyone raved about it. I purchased it based on that and it has been an absolute success for me. I have a decent pump driven espresso maker I use for cappuccino and lattes.
@pschroeter1 Im not saying you can't do it. you can actualy. i Just don't recomend using it. And i Recommend something that is seperate from the product. and i dont feel comfortable heating the plunger because it has that rubber under it.
@giganoto Why not? I been heating the water this way for about three years now. Its one of the options for heating the water listed in the instructions that come with the Aeropress. And since I can control the time in the microwave precisely, it is the best way to achieve a consistent temperature for the water.
I'll leave a comment since the previous one was nearly a year ago. Thanks for the demo. I own many coffee gadgets including a French press. I don't have an aeropress but if it's not too expensive I might buy one to try it out. I started roasting my own beans about a year ago using just about every inexpensive method that youtube presents but 2 mos ago I got the Behmor 1600. I've had good & bad roasts btw. The Aero looks like it might be a welcome member of my pantheon of coffee memorabilia.
you're right, it's not quite espresso, it probably doesn't meet the technical definition, but for someone who isn't an expert, the stuff it produces is a reasonable approximation of espresso.
yes, I do home roast although I just have a model that does like a tiny bit at a time, so it takes forever to roast a good amount..so I usually end up being lazy and ordering from counterculture
BTW, nice to see your bag of Sweet Maria's beans! Do you home roast too? This thing would be good for camping, but I had to laugh when I got my Aeropress in the mail and saw all the testimonials on the box. You'd think it would cure cancer, or something! Again, nice vid.
nice gui
ReplyDeleteExcellent !

nice view
ReplyDelete@doesitworkdotnet It is a tenth the price of even the cheapest real espresso machines.
ReplyDeleteit looks like a Zassenhaus mill. You can get them at Sweet Maria's and other specialty shops. As for the Aeropress, try Amazon.
ReplyDeletenice vid!
ReplyDeletei really like your coffee grinder. what kind is it?
also wondering if there are any canadian stores that sell the aeropress...?
Thanks! Well Done. Took your advice - AeroLatte on order.
