This brew guide will take you step-by-step through the standard way to brew coffee using the AeroPress.
What You'll Need:
- AeroPress Coffee Maker
- Kettle
- Grinder
- Scale/Timer
- 1:12
- 18 grams of coffee
- 220 grams of water
Grind:
-
Medium-fine (consistency between granulated sugar and cane sugar)
-
Place the paper filter disc in the filter basket and rinse it with hot water. *If you are using a metal filter or the Fellow Prismo, make sure the reusable disc is clean.
Step 1
Lock in the filter basket on the bottom of the brewing chamber, then place the AeroPress filter side down over your favorite cup and tare your scale.
Step 2
Using the included funnel, add your freshly ground coffee to the brewing chamber. Pour hot water over the grounds until you reach your target weight, and set a timer for one minute.
Step 3
Give the coffee a quick stir using the provided stirring paddle to ensure all the grounds are saturated.
Step 4
Carefully affix the plunger onto the brewing chamber, but do not press down yet. After a minute, remove your AeroPress and cup from the scale. Slowly begin to press down on the plunger until all the brew has been expressed into the cup.
Step 5
Pull the plunger back up about an inch to create a vacuum and prevent any drips when you move the AeroPress away from your cup.
Step 6
And last, but certainly not least, sip and enjoy!
Cleaning Tip:
To dispose of the spent coffee puck, remove the filter base and press the plunger all the way down to dispense. Rinse the AeroPress and set it aside to dry.
