@Clavius_42 same! I've had mine for almost 8 years. Learned how to make coffee right during COVID and got used to good (not bitter) black coffee. The auto temperature kettle is a big part of not boiling the water. Nice to meet you!
@bfgreen I've had my eye on auto temp kettles for a while, but I also get reminded that 'we already have a kettle' so I still slum it and count to 30 after the click. 😄
@Clavius_42 same, sorta. Have had an electric kettle for years that turns off at a boil. I’ve been using a barista thermometer to stop it at right temp. I splurged the $50 a year ago and got the gooseneck auto temp one. It’s a luxury but I use it daily.
@Clavius_42 a must watch video for every #aeropress owner - and #coffee lover. Water temp matters! https://youtu.be/9c14DxfVOY4
@Clavius_42 The barista thermometer is a very elegant $8 solution too.
@bfgreen Tidy, cheers. 🤘
@Clavius_42 you bet. I'd happily give you my old one to use, but will be about the same in shipping as buying new.
@Clavius_42 just realized you are in UK (Welsh). I'm originally from Southampton, but lived/worked in US now for 25 years. Enjoy the new coffee toy when it arrives - have a good rest of your day.
@bfgreen Cheers, you too 👍
@bfgreen I love my Aeropress.👍
