Ultimate Guide to AeroPress Coffee

Measure and grind 17g of coffee beans until they are medium-fine (ground/beans).

Place the filter that comes with the brewer inside the AeroPress cap and wet the brewer using boiling hot water. This step helps to get rid of the papery flavor in the filter. Preheat the brewer to retain temperature.

Add the measured ground coffee to the brewer and give it a shake to evenly distribute the coffee to prevent channeling. Place it securely on top of a mug/carafe.

Boil water and then leave it off stove for 30 seconds and then pour into the chamber aiming for 255ml or till the water level reaches number 4 indicated in the brewer. Make sure to pour in a slight circular motion to ensure all grounds are completely and evenly saturated.

Immediately give it a stir and insert the plunger and slowly press it down over the course of 1 minute.

Once the bottom is reached, a hissing sound will indicate you that there is no left over water to plunge through. Which also indicates that your coffee is ready.

Whether to drink the coffee straight or to add milk is completely your choice. Either way, you will end up with a delicious cup of coffee, and minimum cleaning to carry out.
