AeroPress brew guide

The AeroPress was invented in 2005 by Alan Adler, an engineer and founder of Aerobie. Its versatility and ease of use have earned it a passionate global community, dedicated competitions, and countless shared recipes. Ultra-portable and simple to clean, it produces a smooth, aromatic, balanced cup – perfect for one.

Parameters:

  • percent Ratio: 16:1 (16 g coffee → 250 g water)
  • grain Grind size: Slightly finer than filter
  • device_thermostat Water temperature: 93 ºC
  • schedule Total time: ~2:30

Steps:

  • Grind 16 g of coffee slightly finer than you would for filter coffee. Place the coffee into the AeroPress (inverted method) and start the timer.

  • Pour 40–50 g of water, then gently swirl.

  • Fill up the aeropress with ~250 g of water.

  • Check the timer. If you are within the desired range, move on to the next step.
    If the shot ran too fast, grind finer.
    If the shot took too long, grind coarser.
    After making any adjustments, repeat the process from step 1.
    Place the paper filter in the cap, rinse it, and screw it onto the AeroPress. Secure the cap gently, taking care not to press down, as the chamber is filled with hot water.

  • When you have a shot that falls within the desired time range, transfer it to an espresso cup and taste it. Alternatively, add steamed milk to your cup or glass for a delicious beverage.

  • At 1:50, press slowly for ~40 s, until you hear the air hiss.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy. Add a little bit of hot water if you want a longer beverage with a more delicate profile
