minimum dose size?

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

Filter blends vs Espresso blends + Aeropress

Hi, I’m new here and read the rules but in case I missed anything I apologise in advance 🙂

When I buy specialty coffee, I don’t often buy from roasters who specify espresso or filter on the packs, however on the few occasions I have the roasters have been correct (surprise surprise)

I don’t have an espresso machine at home, but find most espresso blends work well in a moka. I also use a v60 (do I need to say filter blends work well in that?), and acquired an aeropress last weekend and have been taking it into work.

The recipe I’m using I would say gives me a result that’s a middle ground between a filter coffee and a moka brew, and I’m enjoying the results thus far.

I’ve also been buying more from Square Mile and Friedhats which tend to specify espresso or filter on the packs.

So two questions:

1) how do roasters differentiate between espresso and filter blends (more so I know what to look out for from roasters who don’t)

2) would you lean more towards espresso roast or filter roast given the result I’ve been getting from the aeropress?

Cheers 🙂

*as a side note, I have a preference for berry flavours that are on the more savoury side, but like exploring all flavours in the light roast realm
