Aeropress
Step-by-Step Guide to Brewing Aeropress Coffee at Home
1. Gather Your Equipment:
- You will need an Aeropress brewer, Aeropress filters, coffee grinder, digital scale, kettle, stirrer, and timer.
2. Boil Water:
- Heat filtered water to around 80-85°C, slightly cooler than boiling.
3. Prepare Your Aeropress:
- Place a paper filter in the Aeropress cap and rinse it with hot water to remove any paper taste.
- Attach the cap securely to the chamber and set it on top of a sturdy mug or vessel.
4. Grind Your Coffee:
- Weigh out approximately 15-20 grams of coffee beans, depending on your desired strength.
- Grind the coffee to a medium-fine consistency, similar to table salt.
5. Add Coffee and Water:
- Place the Aeropress on the scale and add the ground coffee to the chamber.
- Start your timer and pour hot water over the grounds, saturating them completely. Aim for a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio.
6. Attach Plunger and Brew:
- Gently insert the plunger into the Aeropress chamber to create a seal.
- Slowly press down on the plunger, applying steady pressure until you hear a hissing sound.
