AeroPress

AeroPress, Standing Brew

The AeroPress is the most forgiving brewer we own. A slightly cooler water temperature and a short steep give a sweet, rounded cup from almost any coffee.

Method

Step by step.

Weigh everything, start the timer with the first pour, and change one variable at a time.

Set up
Before you start
Rinse a paper filter in the cap, lock the cap on and stand the AeroPress on a sturdy mug. Add the ground coffee.
Pour
0:00 - 0:15
Start the timer and pour 210 g of water in one steady pour, wetting all the grounds.
Stir and seal
0:15 - 0:30
Stir three times, then insert the plunger just enough to form a seal and stop the drip.
Steep
0:30 - 1:30
Leave the brew undisturbed.
Press
1:30 - 2:00
Press down slowly and evenly for thirty seconds. Stop when you hear the hiss.
