Aeropress

Aeropress is one of my favourite bean/ground coffee brewing options... and I have a few!

Brewing methods

  • Use 60g of ground coffee per litre of water, so 15g for a 250ml coffee
  • Assemble the Aeropress upside down, so the plunger is on the table
  • Place ground coffee in the inverted Aeropress
  • Using water that is just off the boil, pour over the ground coffee
  • Give a quick stir using the Aeropress paddle
  • Leave for 1 minute to brew
  • You may want to place a filter (moistened) into the cap and put the cap in place (carefully!) whilst you're waiting for the brew
  • After a minute, carefully place the Aeropress - the right way up - over a cup or mug
  • Slowly depress the plunger - try and take about 30 seconds
  • Stop plunging as soon as hissing is heard from the Aeropress
  • You get the best results and flavours from the coffee once it has cooled
