Same lesson as hot lather. Temperature is everything.
Too hot and you scorch the work. Too cool and you never open it up. I bought one for myself because I wanted an easier way to control the water I'm running through my AeroPress for different roasts.
Here's how I run it for my tumbler of what I drink everyday:
190 degrees for my really dark blends - no more than that so you don't over-extract them. 195 degrees for my mediums and COWBOY blend - opens them right up.
This lets me dial it in to perfection every time.
With the OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Kettle, you pick your exact temp with a simple twist of the knob. Any temp from 170 to 212°F, and it heats and holds it there for up to 30 minutes. Cordless lift-off from the base, silicone base so you can set it down anywhere, crystal-clear BPA-free borosilicate glass so you get pure, clean taste. Stainless steel, silicone, and glass build. 1.75L capacity.
Hand wash. 2-year warranty. BPA free.
This is barber thinking applied to coffee. Right tool, right setting, no guesswork. Same standards as our straight razor work. If you run an AeroPress at home and you drink different roasts, this is what takes your cup from good to exact.
