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
