MacKenzie Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Normally I have espresso but every once in a while I like to have a mug of coffee but I have no drip coffee maker. I do have the Aeropress and it does make a fine cuppa but there are times when I want a bigger mug full. !4 g of freshly ground coffee1.75 C of waterMix in Mason jar.SV for 1 hour @ 185 F.Strain out the grounds.The result is a nice mug of coffee, tastes very good, not strong and not bitter. :coffee2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Crazy! May try it sometime, just for kix. I have an AeroPress that I used to make my morning cup of joe, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Tony, I have the stainless steel filter for the Aeropress and I used that to filter out the grounds. Had to do 2 batches because of the bigger amount of the SV coffee:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I normally use the paper ones in mine, but I do have the stainless screen, too. I use it when I'm making a single cup and doing the "inverted method." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 More on the SV coffee, made more today and made a special drink. It has some Bailey's Irish Cream, Frangelico and whipped skim milk. I'm having fun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 That one sounds especially good. I usually only drink coffee at night when I'm off work the next day. I like specialty coffees like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 ckreef, a friend and I get together once a week and make a specialty coffee. The one we make is a double shot of espresso, 1.5 oz of Irish Cream, 1/2 oz of Frangelico, frothed milk:) It is very tasty. Lately I discovered the whipped skim milk. I can't believe the whipped the skimmed milk. I never drink SM but don't knock it if you haven't tried the whipped SM. You must start with near freezing SM and whip it with an immersion blender, that's it. It is creamy smooth and on the sweet side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Dang it that sounds good. I use to make an Irish express. Equal parts - double shot espresso - Jameson - kahlua. A few of those and you're definitely not feeling any pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 ckreef, I might have to try your recipe, but my friend and I only make two, one each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 My recipe is for a night of adult activities ending with sleeping in late the next morning - LOL One of those will do for a normal evening. Bailey's is a decent substitute for kahlua if you want a more cream type drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
