Follow this step by step guide to make the perfect Aeropress coffee.
You will need:
Aerobie Aeropress
1 x Rinsed filter paper
200 ml Hot water (just off the boil)
12g Coffee (ground medium fine)
Weigh Scales
A Timer
Buy AeropressSet the rubber plunger to the number 4 that is printed on the side of the Aeropress barrel.
Remove the cap and turn the Aeropress upside down and place on your scales, see picture
Insert the paper filter into the cap and wash in water. This will remove any residue and taste.
Set the cap and filter aside.
Measure approximately 12 grams of freshly ground coffee and put it into the Aeropress cylinder.
Boil some water. If you're using a kettle, open the lid for a minute to let the water cool slightly. It should be about 93-94 degrees
Pour the hot water into the Aeropress cylinder and start your timer.
Stir the coffee for 5 seconds; preheat a mug with some hot water.
After 35 seconds, screw the filter onto the Aeropress.
Place your cup or glass upside down and over the cap of the Aeropress. Next spin the whole contraption over being careful to support the plunger, barrel and the cup at the same time.
It's a good idea to grasp the Aeropress where the plunger meets the barrel so you can grip both together. Spin all 3 items over together.
Please take care when flipping the aeropress on to your cup.The Aeropress is under pressure when plunging so please take care not to force the extraction
Plunge pressing consistently and steadily until your brew is in your cup!
Cleanup is easy: unscrew the filter, push the filter out into the bin, and rinse the Aeropress and you're done. Enjoy your coffee!
