If I were traveling, it'd be the JoePresso coming along with me and not the (still travel inclined) Flair. To be clear, there is nothing complicated to the JoePresso - you just attach it and plunge.Īgain, in terms of the OPs only question regarding taste, there is a distinct flavor advantage to the JoePresso vs Prismo. The cleanup is the same as Flair, which, while not as easy as shooting the puck out, knocking the JoePresso into a knock box maintains a satisfying feeling. I also saw this where he mentions he has smashed a mug.Ĭool, like any other product, some items immediately jive with a crowd while at the same time are 'pointless' to another set of folks. What's the point in the joepresso? That's what I don't understand. If the creator of the joepresso worked on a distinct press-style espresso machine similar to the delta, nanopresso (I'm tempted to get one of these tbh) or kompresso then they would have an opportunity to do exactly what they want with their own philosophy. I just don't think it's really an aeropress attachment with the same philosophy of the AP. The joepresso seems to add one type of brew (fake espresso) for a huge amount of money, more complicated workflow (messy cleanup) and it's not that simple. What I mean is the prissmo expands the types of aeropress coffee you can brew, extending the range of options which effect the brew available. I get all your points but is it worth $80? The prissmo, for $20, adds a whole I range of features to the AP, and keeps to the simplistic design methodology of the original AP. Cleanup on JoePresso, is a bit more than Prismo, you have to knock the puck into a knock box, just like the Pro2. Optional but interesting accessories for the Pro2 end up costing more than the Pro2 itself! TLDR, when failing a Pro2 shot, the drink is vile, when failing an AeroPress(Prismo/JoePresso) s still not bad.įor reference I drink Light Roast Americano's - which is a known challenge to prep right on the Flair, particularly dialing in the pre-heating of the brewhead (and for some the basket)Īnyhow, taste wise between Prismo & JoePresso -> JoePresso. Nonetheless, i find the ritual of getting everything setup/prepared for the Pro2 adds to the anticipation, bias, and placebo that the Pro2s resulting shot will be great. TLDR, JoePresso, much better 'espresso like' taste than Prismo.įlair Pro2: Sure, it makes pretty good espresso.but the learning curve and ability to consistently make an amazing cup is pretty challenging - unlike using the AeroPress (either Prismo or JoePresso). Regarding taste - wow, its actually very impressive compared to the Prismo/stock paper filters, not quite true Espresso obviously, but it maintains the AeroPress's ability to make a very good cup of 'espresso like' drink without needing to dial-in the variables as tightly as in the Flair. I wouldn't use a fragile glass mug, but any 'standard' porcelain/ceramic/or tumbler is fine. JoePresso: First, no issues regarding 'force through the A/P and smashing mugs'. The ability to use AeroPress non-inverted is my greatest appreciation for the Prismo. Negligible difference if you're adding milk, etc. Makes a similar 'strength' coffee as the AeroPress paper filters. Prismo: Compared to standard AeroPress paper s pretty similar, there are more coffee oils w/Prismo, which i appreciate. To address OP's inquiry of how they taste, I'll offer my experience: So, i have the Prismo, JoePresso, and Flair Pro2 (for comparison). Nice Google / 3rd hand review of Prismo & JoePresso! :)
