Aeropress

The AeroPress is a versatile brewing method that produces a balanced cup, ranging from espresso- like to filter coffee.

Equipment:

• AeroPress

• Paper filters

• Medium-fine ground coffee

• Filtered water

  Method:

1. Grind: Use a medium-fine grind, similar to granulated sugar.

2. Heat Water: Heat filtered water to just off the boil (around 195-205°F or 90-96°C).

3. Add Grounds: Place the paper filter in the AeroPress and add the desired amount of ground

   coffee. A general ratio is 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 8 ounces of water.

4. Bloom: Pour a small amount of hot water over the grounds to wet them evenly. Let it bloom

   for 30-45 seconds.

5. Add Water: Pour the remaining hot water into the AeroPress.

6. Steep: Stir gently and let the coffee steep for a desired time, usually 1-2 minutes for a

   stronger brew and 2-4 minutes for a milder brew.

7. Press: Press the plunger down slowly and steadily.

8. Pour and Enjoy: Pour the coffee into your mug and savor the rich, flavorful brew.
