Featuring some art I did on a flat white I made.
Nice! Latte art on a flat white!
I’d like to learn to do latte art on a long black but it doesn’t really work too well.
(Of course while writing my silly comment I had to search to see if anyone had done it, and found this)
Yeah, there’s a whole lot of fun stuff you can do with black coffee and an espresso machine. Like an aerocano (where you basically foam the drink with ice to infuse it with air, it looks like a stout beer)
Here’s me drinking an aerocano I made:
Oh wow! I already had someone convince me into an expensive hobby this week, so I’m not going to go and buy an espresso machine, but if there’s anything fancy I can do with a plunger or aeropress then I’d give it a try!
Yeah, the rabbit hole on espresso goes deep. I’m ashamed to say that the machine I made that drink with cost me over six grand 😢
I’ve never actually used an aeropress but everyone seems to love them. You can make milk foam with a plunger though so you might be able to effectively do something similar to the aerocano.

In my experience, an aeropress is a plunger that is easier to clean. I’m not convinced the coffee is any better than a plunger, but for sure Americans love it compared to drip coffee.
I could try using a plunger to foam up my coffee, I’ll try to remember to do that tomorrow and see if it works.
I’d probably want to put some ice cubes in the plunger to both cool it and provide some extra agitation when “foaming” it.
My filter brewer of choice is the Hario Switch, absolutely love that thing.
I did it! Didn’t use any ice, it worked fine without it.
I forgot I already had coffee plans today, will try when I’m home tomorrow.
I don’t really like filter coffee (or at least, I’ve never had something described as “filter coffee” that I liked). Might just have not had a good one.
There’s filter coffee and then there’s pour over coffee. I personally like pour over - the water doesn’t stay in the grounds and get over bitter and the coffee itself is immediately consumed instead of sitting around getting overcooked.
But the great thing about coffee is whatever way you like to consume it that’s the right way.
I would categorise aeropress as filter.
