  Any recommendations for beans to use with this?

    Find some beans that you like, as that won't change by using this maker.
    Grind the beans to Medium-Fine or Fine, depending on the brew time.

    Any fresh beans that are a medium or light roast for brewing (I prefer medium.) Dark roasts for an espresso machine taste burnt, flat and uninteresting when brewed, I find.

    Any light roast single origin is ideal to use with this brewer - from here or any of your local cafes: https://alternativebrewing.com.au/product/ethiopia-parallel-…

    Hope this helps

    Unless you have a specific taste you're going for I'd just stick with the beans Aldi stocks. It's a marginal difference between them and regular coffee tasting more expensive, more freshly roasted beans.

      You're surely joking, right?

      There's massive difference between different coffee beans. Maybe not the different brands at Coles or Aldi, but try some different blends at coffee shops and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

      Also not having 3/4 of a cup of milk and 3 teaspoons of sugar also helps in observing the differences.

        Not joking at all. Unless you have a specific taste you're going for there is a marginal difference between the Aldi beans and the standard stuff without interesting flavours at specialty stores. Yes, I've tried them. I only drink black coffee, no sugar. You can tell the specialty store is better. What you can't tell is that it's 500% the price. It tastes like it should cost about 120-130% the price of the Aldi stuff.

        Obviously I'm talking about with the aeropress specifically although I imagine it translates to a french press or cheap auto machine or other cheaper methods too. Haven't compared them with a good machine and probably never will.

          @DonWilson: French press is different to Aeropress, although not as different as the both of them are to an Espresso machine of any kind.

          Espresso machines are far less forgiving of bad beans than other methods, IMO.

            @Tunblor: Yes, this is why I mentioned not trying on a good machine and that I probably never will. And this is a thread in a thing about an Aeropress so I assume the suggestions are to use with one.

            I'd contend a cheap automatic coffee machine often creates something considerably worse than aero or french or even drip, hence why I mentioned them.

    In Melbourne for beans, I recommend The Coffee Company. Freshly roasted beans and not overly expensive.
