Aeropress - Brewing Guide
Illustration by Claudia Casiraghi.
Inverted and with bypass. This is how we like to brew our coffees with the Aeropress:
1) Grind 18 grams of coffee quite finely (1 1/3 on the Fellow ODE V1.0, 5 on a K-Max from 1Zpresso);
2) Put the paper filter into the filter holder and rinse it with hot water;
3) Add the ground coffee into the brewing chamber of the inverted Aeropress;
4) Pour 120 grams of water at 94°C and agitate vigorously the grounds and the water with the paddle, close the Aeropress with its filter;
5) After 2 minutes, turn the Aeropress around and quickly press the plunger through the grounds into a Carafe or Mug in around 10 seconds;
6) Pour another 80 grams of water at 94°C into your coffee concentrate to dilute it.
The result should be a nicely balanced, complex, flavored cup of coffee with a very nice creamy body that you can enjoy as it is cooling down.
