The Aeropress is highly versatile, combining immersion brewing with pressure extraction. It yields a clean, smooth cup with low acidity and bitterness and highlights sweetness, while remaining forgiving for beginners.
Prep the Filter
Place a paper filter in the cap and rinse it with hot water. Lock the cap onto the chamber and place it on a sturdy mug.
Grind
Grind 15g of coffee to a medium-fine consistency (slightly finer than table salt)
Add Water
Add the coffee to the chamber. Pour 250g of hot water (90°C–93°C) over the grounds within 10 seconds.
Stir
Stir gently for 10 seconds to ensure all grounds are evenly wetted.
Steep
Insert the plunger slightly and pull up just a little to create a vacuum seal. Let it steep until the timer reaches 1:30.
Press
Gently press down on the plunger. This should take about 30 seconds. Stop when you hear a slight hissing sound and enjoy.
