Prepare:

• start heating the filtered water
• grind 17g of coffee to a medium-fine consistency, similar to table salt
• disassemble the Aeropress and insert a filter
• use a portion of the hot water to rinse the filter and brew chamber
• pre-heating the mug is also useful; discard the rinse water

Load:

• assemble the filter and brew chamber and place on top of mug
• add ground coffee to the brew chamber, use a funnel if you have one to cut down on the mess
• you may need to bring your water back to 205° F if it has cooled too much

Brew: 0:00-1:15

• start the timer
• quickly pour 220g (#4 marking) of water into the brew chamber, you can spin the chamber by hand to help with filling
• stir the coffee and water slurry until mixed
• insert the plunger just enough to make a seal, don't plunge yet

Plunge: 1:15 - 1:45

• remove the plunger and stir one more time
• replace the plunger and plunge slowly and steadily for 30 seconds
• you will know you are finished when you hear a hissing sound and the plunger is just slightly compacting the grounds

Serve & Enjoy

There are many Aeropress recipes out there, so we encourage you to explore. The inverted method is one of the most well known.

A few tricks:

• when inserting the plunger, first angle at 45 degrees then insert into the brew chamber; next level the plumber and draw it back a bit to create a slight vacuum seal
• when plunging, go slow and steady so that you reach the end of the plunge at the 30 second mark
