AeroPress, definitely one of our favourite brewing methods.

First released in 2005 by retired Stanford engineering lecturer Alan Adler It became kind of a coffee-cult following among coffee enthusiasts. Adler was hoping to improve his daily coffee experience by using pressure to decrease brew time and reduce bitterness.

Finer ground coffee will require more strength to extract coffee while a coarser ground will make of the extraction an easier and smoother step.

You will need:

• Your AeroPress Kit (AeroPress, funnel, stirrer, doser)

• Paper filters (Unless you own a reusable metal filter)

• A small scale (To weight your coffee and water)

• A timer (we need to keep an eye on time)

• Coffee grinder (We recommend it to keep your brew fresh and tasty)

• Coffee beans (Pre-ground if you don’t have a coffee grinder)

• A water kettle (Gooseneck is highly recommended even better with adjustable thermostat)

Step 1

Remove any paper filter taste by rinsing the filter with hot water after placing it inside the filter cap.

Step 2

Grind your coffee. Weight your coffee already ground. (We suggest 14gr of coffee) for 1 cup.

Step 3

Set up your AeroPress completely open (with the gum-syringe area around number 4) and upside-down over your scale. Put your coffee ground inside making sure is evenly distributed.

Step 4

Once the AeroPress kit with the coffee ground is on top of the scale Pour over about 80ml of hot water (93C as recommended). Let it bloom for 15 to 30 Seconds, then stir gently and steadily.

Step 5

Continue pouring hot water until reaching 225ml of water.

Step 6

Close the AeroPress with the filter cap (Paper filter inside) place your jug or cup over the filter cup then flip it over (back to standing position)

Step 7

Push down the syringe-like cylinder gently and steadily aiming for 2 to 3 minutes extraction time.

Enjoy!
