Aerobie Espresso Maker Review

RE: Aerobie Espresso Maker Review Post by camo_angels (683) | (09/10/2006) Profile | Contact We have two stovetop espresso makers (cafetterias) italian style, 3 shot and 6 shot. If you go to a Latin or Italian area (like Miami or New York), you can get them very cheap. Cooks right on the stove, similar to a percalator. My DH used to be a barista at an espresso stand, and we have used the machines, but to him, that is REAL cafe con leche!

In both cases, the filters make all the difference. I've been a happy Toddycafe coffeemaker user for years. But one either buys the concentrate or makes up a batch.

A french press is a method of brewing coffee. The grounds are placed into the french press, allowed to steep, and then the grounds are filtered out using the press. The Aerobie is used to make espresso shots. The grounds and water are placed in the Aerobie and then the water is forced through the grounds under pressure. It is this pressure which distinguishes espresso from drip coffee. I like the Aerobie because it has the simplicity of a french press, but allows me to make espresso shots so I can make lattes or americanos at home. The milk frother is also similar to a french press. It has a plunger which is moved up and down through hot milk quickly. The result is nicely foamed milk.
