Since purchasing an Aeropress this past March it has become my go-to daily brewer. After watching a bunch of instructional videos, I quickly developed a recipe and work flow that worked well for every coffee that I had on my “coffee station.” This short reel/video shows both.
Recipe:
22g Freshly ground coffee – a bit finer than pour over
200g Filter Water at about 195F (90C)
50-100g extra Filtered Water to bring final coffee to your preferred strength and body
Work Flow:
- Filter water and bring to a boil
- While water is heating up weigh out and grind coffee and put two Aeropress filters in the filter cap
- Once water is just off boil wet the filters
- Set up Aeropress in inverted position and pour in ground coffee
- Shake Aeropress to level grounds
- Pour in 200g of water and stir to hydrate ground (about 10 seconds)
- Screw on filter cap and push out air that’s above the coffee slurry
- Let coffee steep for 2 minutes
- Flip Aeropress onto an awaiting mug and gentle press
- Discard ground and filter (or rinse filter for later use)
- Add 50-100g of water from kettle and stir
Enjoy!
