Thanks, I'll be sure to try that. I really like Ethiopian coffees.

The Aeropress is simply amazing at making iced coffee. You need plently of ice, personally, I press it right on top of a glass full. You can add a tablespoon of sugar right in there with the coffee before brewing to sweeten the cup and add a little milk/half n half afterwards and really spruce it up. If you like your iced coffee black - try using fruity East Africans/Central Americans for a really nice cup.

Cheers,

@Kevin

I ordered the AeroPress first and the Presso was a "right time and place" type thing. I did not order them on purpose together.

Just got the AeroPress yesterday. Tried it out this morning and love the espresso. I still need to tweak it for water ratio as an americano.

I've had the Presso a week now and really struggling with it. It's really difficult to get crema so far.

Aeropress is kick ass. Very fun to play with the parameters and get very different results out of each brew. Did you order the two brewing devices to compare them to each other? Seems odd to acquire two non pump "espresso" machines at the same time.
