AEROPRESS

 

The aroma of the cup is of fish sauce, soil, eel, fermented tomato, kambo, and leather

The body is weaker then when cupped and has a tea like consistency now 

The acidity is still high but is dry and astringent with a lingering dirty ash note

The flavors of this cup are of soil, bakers chocolate, oak, toasted tahini, dried orange, bottle brush, and liquid smoke

I do not recommend making this on Aeropress, it dose not bring anything to the coffee and really brings in down in character and quality
