Trestle K-Cup Adapter for the AeroPress

Love a peaceful seat with a veiw and coffee.

Slowly pressing, beginning to have the shakes, a slight rampage beginning to build, finally getting to the bottom, that first sip, a calm begins to form.....nice. 😉😘 Very cool adapter. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️

The K-Cup adapter looks convenient. I picked up the mesh filter and it's nice to not need paper filters.
For backpacking, I might pick up 'hanging ear' style pour over bags. I'm a fan of Vietnamese coffee packets that use the 'hanging ear' bags. There's packs of 50 on Amazon and I'm thinking of filling my own bags for trips.

I love your channel so please don’t take this as a personal criticism but I pretty much disagree with most of your points about this product. 😊

- K-cup coffee is usually borderline stale and doesn’t come close to what I get from my local roaster. Why would I disrespect my Aeropress using it to make a k-cup? If you prefer a particular coffee that comes in a k-cup just open it and dump it in.

- There’s absolutely zero wrong with digging a cat hole for coffee grounds (and an unbleached paper filter if you don’t use a reusable one). If you’re hiking in an area where you have to carry out your human waste then fine, carry out your grounds too but these are just dried and cooked plant seeds.

- I’d rather carry a ziplock of coffee over k-cups for volume, weight is minor but still there.

At the end of the day, if someone likes this product and enjoys using it then by all means go for it! Geting out, having fun and enjoying a coffee is the most important part!!! ❤

I, like you, have upgraded to a metal filter. When I made that purchase, I was amazed at the many variations available in terms of the size of the pore openings. My advice to anyone making the transition is to explore the different options to get one that makes the coffee you like.

However, my favorite upgrade to the AeroPress has been a “flow control” filter cap. Prior to getting one, I always used the inverted brewing method. The new filter cap gives me all of the advantages of the inverted method without the balancing act that goes with it.

Just more parts to deal with. Also maybe a little less stable when pressing. Fresh ground Rampage in the ol' AeroPress does fine for me. Don't see much if any advantage.

After a few years of using my Aeropress regularly, the bottom went missing last week. This product looks to be an interesting opportunity. Thank you.

I like it, been thinking about getting an aeropress and this would certainly be convenient. As for reusable k-cups , CT has a 4 pack for $20 , pretty much the same size and holds a good amount of coffee.

As I've said before, I have an out-of-production Bodum pour-over made of plastic with a nylon mesh. Ultralight and great. But one problem is it doesn't fit over my Evernew cup. My solution was to make an adapter via a plastic lid (off a tub of Coconut Oil) with a hole cut in it. Lid goes over the cup, Bodum goes into the hole. Perfection.

The hat you are wearing, I would like know more about it. It looks warm and more suited to colder weather in Nova Scotia and perhaps here in Alberta. Thanks

That is very cool! I'm not a K-Cup person, but when I travel they're often available in hotels.

I want the Areo press XL.

Why is it a problem to dispose of a bit of coffe grounds in the woods? They are biodegradeable and not harmful to the soil.

Now if you would find carb-free Timbits that taste as good as the coffee, we would be all set in the woods. 🙂

G'day Mark, well explained/demo-ed mate. What I like about it is, as accessory it doesn't disrupt the original design, i.e. simply remove it and you're back to normal operation. So its great for alternating between pods and grounds without major reconfiguration. Cheers Duke.

I always felt like the home machines didn't really get the water hot enough to make a good cup of coffee. This way gives you a lot of control over the process. Thanks for sharing Mark.

How long does it take really for coffee grinds to degrade on the ground?

Howdy from California, Mark!

The Aeropress clear with the valve cap and steel filter is my daily brew. I used to brew inverted because the standard cap would always turn into a drip brewer for me, and the valve cap allows me to do the same recipe with a lower center of gravity. I used to borrow a community K-cup machine by Cuisinart that accepted the official BYO grounds adapter, and that made some darn tasty coffee.

At first I thought, why would I bother with this thing? I don't drink Keurig or Nespresso. But if you think about the convenience, you don't need to bring a grinder or pre-ground beans in a bag, just bring some K-cups and this gadget and you're golden. There's a local shop that sold a very similar allegedly compostable K-cup compatible pods (Trader Joe's French Roast), not sure if they still sell them.

The only thing I dislike about K-cups is, they're much more expensive per cup of coffee compared to whole beans. I wonder if 3rd party "refillable" pods would work in this device?

Makes a convenient way to take along your coffee on your hikes and easy enough to make.
On another note, how is your friend Mike doing?

Love Rampage coffee… great video

What a smart looking hat! Have you made a video discussing the specs of the black hat you are wearing?

Yes I would like the Review, most likely one of your videos, the brim does not look to large it appears more like the small cotton version but in Wool. In the winter or cooler times here in Alberta a large brim would be lost in the wind. A Bucket Hat would work well but have not seen any thing like that in Wool. As a BTW I find I like my khukuri as opposed to my Dad's Hatchet or a large SAX style knife for camp chores. and if you ask just cuz. hard to change a grumpy old (82) man. I even have a Ross Rifle that works, again just cuz. no I do not hunt any more, far too many gun nuts and anti-gun nuts in Alberta, just keep a low profile. Ha Ha

Interesting addition to the Aeropress arsenal. It could be handy for travelers staying in hotels that provide k-cups who want better control over their brew. BTW, what is the product you are using as a ground protector under the wood stove in the video? Cheers!

I've noticed that the Keurig machines can make up to a 12oz cup of coffee with one pod. Seems like a waste to blow a whole pod on a single cup. Can you refill the chamber to get a second cup out of the pod?

Thanks for sharing, I was still deciding on the regular or XLsize aeropress. This is an awesome addition for sure. Enjoyed the video.Thanks.

That's a pretty cool new way to enjoy good coffee in the woods, sure beats my instant Nescrappy...lol 🤪👍 Thanks for sharing, take care my friend and Cheers!

Interesting Design Shared Fairly Priced & Thanks For Your Demo & Thoughts Mark ! ATB T God Bless

have you tried coffee bags ? or even re-uasable coffee bags ?

another nice video THANKS
