How it goes
- 01Grind the coffee. Takes about a minute with the C3, so do it while the water heats.
- 02AeroPress inverted, coffee in, water in, stir ten seconds, lid on. Wait one minute.
- 03Warm the milk in the Stanley cup over the burner until it steams, not boils.
- 04Milk into the jar, lid on, shake hard for twenty seconds. That's your foam.
- 05Flip and press the coffee into your cup. Pour the milk over. Drink it fast, it's cold out.
The story
It is not a flat white. It is the closest you get to one with a burner and a jar, and it is better than whatever the petrol station had. Made this one at about 6:40 with the sun coming up over the ridge and nobody else around.
