It's American Press and I didn't say that wrong, that actually the name It's not the American press.

It's not an American press.

The name is It's American press Now.

I will do my best not to start this at a disadvantage for having a kind of weird name.

It's sort of a French press, but it's really not.

Actually, it is about £60 which is not cheaper if I think about $80 in the US, so certainly an expensive way of doing things, but it's not really a French press, and I know it says it's not a French press.

It says it's American press, but I need to explain what I mean by that.

That the French press brewer is an infusion brewer.

All of your coffee hangs out with all of your water for a period of time.

You get all the flavor out and then you strain the grounds from the liquid and you have a good time.

This is totally different.

I'll explain inside here there is this little kind of pod they call it, which is a space in which you put your ground coffee.

There's a little mesh at the bottom.

There on, there's a mesh on the top two, and then you fill this with just off the boil water, and then you're gonna press this little park of coffee through the liquid, which is really interesting.

It's actually much more like a Nespresso in that way that you have a kind of column of water passing through a park of coffee.

It's a bit like the Delta Press, which works a little bit like this again, was totally different to the era press, which was also an infusion brewer.

So this should be interesting.

It's a little bit unusual.

It's a little bit expensive off the top of my head.

I don't really know where to grind.

Some gonna go somewhere around like a two cup be 60 you know, like a like a medium fine kind of way.

See how that bruise you, how that goes.

Let's get some coffee in this some hot water in that and make it's American press.

I just can't I can't say that like that anymore.

So I have my brewing a courtroom or it's quite a simple set up here for makeup through some hot water.

Now the little pod that you dose into is actually pretty small, so I could see it easily being a little bit messy.

But, you know, I've done okay.

Now it's 20 grams in there on I'm gonna brew, probably more like a 60 grams per liter thing here, cause it's not an infusion brew.

It's a percolation.

So let's put this together now.

Therefore, let's put about 330 ish grams of hot water in here, lovely, and I guess we just press and he should end up with clear liquid below above coffee.

Now that's interesting.

That looks a little weak so far.

Interesting.

Kind of pretty.

I would imagine they would propose a relatively slow contact time here.

I'm not sure that's really to be the defining factor.

It's gonna be about grind size and your coffee to water ratio.

Their play is actually the cleanliness of this whole deal.

It's it's it's the press without the mess.

Also like that, I think, is their trademark.

So they're pitching the idea that this little puck is contained and easy to clean up afterwards, and there's no awkward renting out of French presses, which, sure that's kind of a nice thing, but it's It's probably not the most interesting thing about this brewer, So I have pressed when there is not yet mess.

But looking at that, that's very weak.

It's a very weak brew.

I've done a bad job here.

You could.

I'm not a huge fan of using agitation to do this.

Just go again right now.

You could just pull that water back through do that.

But I think it'll probably taste awful.

But I don't think there's gonna be a good bro.

Anyway.

I've seen some breeze where they like to get a little little extra work at the end.

Let's see how far away from good this is.

It just smells wildly under extracted.

And I know you can't smell extraction, but you know what I mean?

Not unpleasant, but not pleasant, either.

My fold for sure, Definitely, definitely, too coarse.

She's interesting.

That's sort of where it would make a French press.

But I guess my contact time was maybe a little bit short, but either way, I'm gonna get a good bit finer, not espresso, fine, but certainly a little fire to see.

We get a bit more extraction But what flavor?

Bit more.

Goodness, let's go again.

Now having a chance to reset was actually really interesting.

It allowed me to test their claim that this is really easy to clean up, and in fairness, it is.

It's actually quite a pleasant experience to clean.

The little pod detaches from the plunger on was easy to clean this two bits of mash to clean this bit bond.

The main piece of the bottom here worked pretty well in fairness to them.

So 20 grams again as before, Put this back together.

Screw this back in.

I wear the same recipe as, well, 1/3 of a liter.

I'm going slowly because one, it's hard to press, too.

I want some more contact time this time, so that was two minutes to brew.

It does advise longer contact times, but I'm not willing to spend that much of my life slowly pushing the thing down.

So two minutes is kind of a CZ, much as I'd ever really be willing to do.

Looks a bit better now just what I'm letting this cool.

I've been thinking about this and and I feel like it's probably a better brewer for darker roasts, which sounds like a weird thing to say right with lighter roasts, you have to grant a bit finance.

They're harder to extract on defining a grand on this.

I worry that the more finicky the process is gonna become.

The French presses is like an era press, which is that they're infusion brewers, and as a result, they're pretty easy to get right.

Well, certainly right enough that you're happy with your morning coffee the moment he moved just things like percolation that that's just a more difficult brewing process.

That's just more possibilities for issues.

Things like channeling are a concern, and things like small changes to grow in size will have a big impact on the way that the water moves through the coffee cake.

I'm not saying it can't make good coffee, I think probably can.

For the trade off of having a easier to clean brewer, you'll have a slightly harder to use brewer, and I guess that if used dark roast that it just couldn't be more forgiving and extract more easily than you might have a nice time if you're frustrated by the message in French press, but you want that sort of form factor, an approximate experience, then that's pretty good.

Now the coffee.

The coffee is good, and that's because good ground coffee.

Good, fresh, clean water.

What extracted?

The brewer can make a nice coffee.

I'm not saying it can't for a minute, but I think the trade offs are definitely interesting.

I do worry about longevity of a couple of the pieces, especially that sort of the main mesh just the way that that's kind of put together.

I worry about its life span.

There's some rubber gaskets, but they should be relatively easy to replace over time.

Overall, I do like it, but I'm not sure that I would reach for it to brew my morning coffee or that often if I had to use it, I think I could get some good coffee out of it.

But I might not reach for it first thing in the morning.

If I want a percolation brew, I might just broke the 60 a smile like that, and if I want an easy brew, then I might just brew a regular French press.

And so the question for you off should you buy this well, does it meet the needs.

Do you like metal filtered slightly silty, A heavier Richard coffee?

Do you find the mess of a French press?

A real problem on you, happy to tweak and play a little bit with your coffee brewing?

Because I think if that's you, then this might work for you.

It's a capable brewer.

It's not floor to necessarily, but it It's fixing quite a specific set of problems for me that I don't really have in my day to day coffee brewed.

And it's £60 really right at the upper end of pricing for what feels comfortable for for what you get for your money.

It does feel well built.

It feels nice, but it's still £60 for a very simple coffee brewer.

But this is where I'm interested in your thoughts.

Do you have one?

Have you had a very different experience to me?

Have you had much better experience or a worse one?

Are you curious about this?

I'd be really interested to hear your comments down below now.

I don't get to keep this.

I'm gonna give this away to someone who supports me and patriot and thank you to everyone who doesn't makes these reviews possible, lets me go out and buy these things, play with them, drink some coffee with them and share that with you.

So I'll say Thank you so much for watching.
