I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in or not (sorry, I can't read Chinese very well).
How popular is the AeroPress in Hong Kong? I've been using one for almost two years now, and I love it. It is extremely versatile, allowing me to make black coffee, lattes, and iced coffee. Does anyone else here use one?

(Just to let you know: despite the manufacturer's claims, it doesn't make espresso according to the culinary definition. It makes a very strong concentrate that is like an espresso.)

How popular is relative, I believe. Even french press is quite difficult to gauge how popular it is in Hong Kong as it's mostly dominated by HK styled coffee and tea and, IMHO, espresso styled coffee.
I didn't recall last time anybody discuss about aeropress in this forum. Landy told me once that it's not for espresso and I agree.
I had it once and almost bought it last time I'm in the US. However, I'm afraid I won't use it that much and I don't even have enough time to use both my french press and paper drip... Plus, it seems one need to modify the filter from paper to nylon or mesh steel to get the best out of it... |

It's worth giving a try. Think of it as a paper-filtered Clover for your home.
It's quicker and easier than a French press and requires a less fussy grind, but, you're right, the paper filter will hold back the oils. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing, just a different thing. Because of it's easy clean up, it'd be great for making a good cup of coffee at the office or when you don't have the time or patience for anything else at home. And, like I said above, it's very good for iced coffee--even lattes if you don't have an espresso machine at home.
For those desiring the oils, a food-grade polyester filter can be made for it. I believe you also have to invert it when you brew. Here's a link:

I've been a user of Aeropress for a year or two.
Convenience is one huge advantage of the product, cleaning is simple while the coffee tastes good too.
Though on the website of Aerobie, it claims Aeropress makes Espresso, I totally disagree while still appreciate the clean smooth cup of coffee from it.
One really bad thing is that using the Aeropress method requires a relatively great amount of coffee beans, which is such a waste.
I've heard of the inverted method too. I think those materials needed can't be easily bought elsewhere in Hong Kong...So even if I'm interested in the resulting coffee, I still hesitate to give it a try. |

Hi! I hope it's not too late to reply to this thread.
I've been using Aeropress for quite a while and using the inverted method as well. After my fruitless search for the 5# micron filter in Hong Kong, I began my own little venture - using tea bags (the empty ones you can get from Japan Home Centre or Jusco $10 Store). Simply buy a pack (around 60 to 80 ppcs each) and cut out the filter yourself. I am quite satisfied with the result. I think I can see more crema, though I am not sure whether it's just my imagination.  |
