Aeropress
Aeropress is one of our favorite coffee brewing methods.
- Use a metal AeroPress filter, as they allow coffee oils to pass through into your coffee. This, in turn, will give more flavor to your cup.
- Heat up water around 175 °F, (no hotter than 180 °F)
- Measure 16-17g of coffee on a kitchen scale
- Grind the beans slightly coarser than for filter coffee, (Not as coarse as French press)
- Rinse a paper filter, and place it in the AeroPress.
- Add 50g of water, to bloom the grounds, (that’s about 1 and ½ oz).
- Let it bloom about 30 seconds, if needed stir with a wooden spoon, or stick. This ensures perfect grounds saturation, for a complete extraction.
- Add the rest of the water slowly, aiming to sink as much grounds as possible. Aim for a 20 seconds pouring time. You should be able to pour another 250g of water.
- Press the plunge very slowly, aim for a 40 seconds press. This should bring your total extraction to around 90 seconds.
- Pour in cups, and enjoy.
