Brewing Guide: Aeropress

EQUIPMENT:

• AeroPress or AeroPress Go
• AeroPress Micro Filters
• Coffee Scales
• Coffee Grinder
• Timer (optional, but helpful)
• Kettle
• Mug or Server
• Stirring Spoon

RECIPE:

• Coffee: 12g (medium grind)
• Water: 200ml
• Water Temperature for Extraction: 93-96°C

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE:

Prepare:

• • Gather all your equipment.
  • Place a filter in the cap and rinse thoroughly with hot water.
  • Heat your brewing water to 97°C.

Grind Coffee:

• • Grind 12g of coffee to a medium grind (similar to caster sugar).

Grinding Tip: For a hand grinder, start with the burrs tightest and unwind 3-4 clicks.

Brew:

• • Invert the AeroPress (wide ends on top and bottom, cap facing up).
  • Add 12g of ground coffee to the brew chamber.
  • Place the AeroPress on the scales and tare (reset to zero).
  • Start your timer (if using).
  • Pour 200g of hot water over the coffee in a circular motion.
  • Stir gently five times to ensure all grounds are wet.
  • Screw the cap onto the top of the AeroPress.
  • At 1:45, carefully flip the AeroPress onto your mug or server.
  • At 2:00, press down firmly and steadily on the plunger.
  • Continue pressing until you hear a hissing sound (this should take around 20-30 seconds).

Adjust Grind Size:

• If brewing time exceeds 30 seconds: Grind coarser.
• If brewing time is less than 30 seconds: Grind finer.

Enjoy:

• Allow the coffee to cool slightly if desired.
• Add milk (if using) and enjoy!

Notes:

• Accurate measurements are crucial for consistent results.
• Experiment with grind size and brewing time to find your preferred flavor profile.
• Clean the AeroPress immediately after use for easy maintenance.
