Esprismo - near espresso

The discovery of espresso excellence: with this AeroPress recipe, I've achieved a flavor profile remarkably close to that of a traditional portafilter espresso, complete with a lush crema. The key is in the choice of coffee beans. I prefer dark roasts like Tre Forze or Berserk.

As for grind consistency, I trust my Comandante C40 MK4, which is set at 8 or 9 clicks. And if you're aiming for an even finer setting, the red clicks at around 8.5 might be just the ticket.
