 What You’ll Need

  • 1 / Rinse Filter

    Place an Aeropress paper filter into the filter cap. Hold the cap by its ears and carefully rinse your filter with hot water.

  • 2 / Position the Aeropress

    With the plunger inserted just below the printed 4 on the outer casing, stand your Aeropress upside down.

  • 3 / Get Your Coffee

    Add 20g of coffee to the Aeropress. The coffee should be ground slightly finer than medium coarseness.

  • 4 / Get Your Water

    You will need 250g water at 200-205°F in a gooseneck or fine-spouted kettle.

  • 5 / Bloom

    Pour approximately 50g of water over 15 seconds. Stir three times. Let the wetted grounds sit for 30 seconds.

  • 6 / Continue the Pour

    At 45 seconds fill the Aeropress to the brim. This should bring you to the 1-minute mark overall. Stir again.

  • 7 / Position Filter Cap

    Take the wetted filter in the cap and carefully lock onto the Aeropress.

  • 8 / Flip + Press

    With the cap firmly locked on, flip the Aeropress and center it atop your serving vessel/mug. Begin to slowly and firmly press downward, stopping at the wheezing sound. This should take about 45 seconds.

  • 9 / Discard Puck + Enjoy

    Remove the Aeropress from your vessel, remove the filter cap and push the Aeropress interior a final inch to discard the grounds. Your coffee is ready! Enjoy!

What to do if your coffee is too strong or weak:

CHECK YOUR GRIND

A finer grind results in a higher extraction and strength. A coarser grind results in a lower extraction and strength.

CHECK YOUR COFFEE-TO-WATER RATIO

Too much coffee can result in a brew that is too strong and sour. Insufficient coffee can result in a brew that is weak and bitter.
