AeroPress technique
- Use 15g of medium-fine coffee with a paper filter rinsed in hot water.
- Pour 200g of 85°C water and stir for 10 seconds.
- Insert the plunger and let steep for 1:00 to 1:30.
- Press over 30 seconds with steady, gentle pressure.
- Dilute with hot water if you want a longer, lighter drink.
The AeroPress is forgiving and fast. The classic recipe stays put; experiment with inverted brewing or different water temps once the basic shape is comfortable.
