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
- Boil the water (90-95 C).
- 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).
- Put both AeroPress parts together, insert thinner part 1-1.5 cm deep (you will match the number 4 on the AeroPress).
- Put AeroPress on the scales (with wider part up, so the numbers on AeroPress appears upside-down).
- 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).
- Start the timer and pour 200 g of water (90-95 C) in AeroPress.
- Gently stir it 3 times (from your side to front side) to help all the coffee mix well with the water.
- Wait till your timer shows 43 seconds.
- Slowly stir 10 seconds in a circular move.
- Put AeroPress detachable plastic cap on top and fasten it by screwing it a bit on the right side.
- Put one hand on the side of AeroPress and another hand on the side of coffee cup and quickly flip all around.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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).
