#25: Follow-up on Aeropress brewing: If you're looking for a way to increase or decrease the amount of suspended solids (a.k.a. "fines") in your final cup, make sure your first step is to adjust the type of filter you're using. If you're looking for a richer, full-bodied cup with more fines passing through, then look to getting a reusable standard sized metal disk filter. For a sweeter, smoother cup with fewer oils and fines, take it a step thinner with the fine metal disk. And finally, if you want to remove all of the suspended solids and filter out as many oils as possible (which we don't really recommend), break open another bag of the stock paper filters and you'll find a very light bodied cup to finish off the list.

There is, of course, much more science to get involved with when discussing suspended solids and coffee oils, but knowing how each type of filter can affect the final product is a great place to start. If you'd like to start testing these filters out for yourself, click the Amazon short URL below to see a list of different reusable metal Aeropress filters that you can try from .

Sad to hear that Coffee Kids is closing up shop next year. After 26 years of pushing for social sustainability in struggling communities, our industry has done these hard working people a disservice.

I only hope that through this loss the coffee industry realizes the seriousness of the situation and steps of the game. This is what Guddina Coffee ultimately stands for - getting irresponsible coffee out of people's cupboards. Seeing a reputable organization like Coffee Kids fall away like this is disheartening, to say the least.

Out team will continue to press on with the same great zeal and vision that we've had from the start, but it's important to pause for a moment and recognize the implications of this sad news (in the form of a quote from the linked article):

"There is a double standard in the coffee world – and the world in general. We want sustainability, but we don’t want it to cost us anything."
