AEROPRESS BREWING

May 16, 2021 at 11:48 pm, No comments


You may need:

  • 16 g coffee beans
  • ~ 400 g water (filtered)
  • Grinder (with possibility to adjust grind settings)
  • Scales (with 0.1 g accuracy)
  • Timer (if it not on a scales)
  • Kettle (perfect if you can adjust the temperature)
  • AeroPress
  • AeroPress paper filter (or metal if you prefer)
  • AeroPress funnel (optional)
  • Stirring tool
  • Coffee cup or another vessel (big enough to put over the AeroPress detachable plastic cap and at least 200 ml)

STEP BY STEP

  1. Boil the water (90-95 C).
  2. Insert paper filter in AeroPress’s detachable plastic cap and rinse the filter with ~ 150 g of hot water (this will help to take off paper taste in coffee).
  3. Put both AeroPress parts together, insert thinner part 1-1.5 cm deep (you will match the number 4 on the AeroPress).
  4. Put AeroPress on the scales (with wider part up, so the numbers on AeroPress appears upside-down).
  5. Grind the coffee (to a texture slightly finer than sea salt) and add it to AeroPress (you can use AeroPress funnel for easier coffee insert).
  6. Start the timer and pour 200 g of water (90-95 C) in AeroPress.
  7. Gently stir it 3 times (from your side to front side) to help all the coffee mix well with the water.
  8. Wait till your timer shows 43 seconds.
  9. Slowly stir 10 seconds in a circular move.
  10. Put AeroPress detachable plastic cap on top and fasten it by screwing it a bit on the right side.
  11. Put one hand on the side of AeroPress and another hand on the side of coffee cup and quickly flip all around.
  12. Gently press coffee in the cup (~23 seconds*). It is done when you hear a hissing sound. This means there is no more water to push through the device (coffee is ready after 1:20-1:25 minutes).
  13. Take off the AeroPress and clean it - unscrew the detachable plastic cap, and separate it from AeroPress. Then simply push AeroPress’s interior section a final inch. Rinse the top.
  14. Back to your brew. Stir a coffee for a balanced taste and ENJOY your ~170 g freshly brewed coffee!

* If the pushing feels too easy, your grind is likely too coarse; if it’s very hard to push, chances are the grind is too fine (or you are just weak, ha).
