What You’ll Need
☕ Medium-Fine Ground Coffee
(Recommended: Beanfull AeroPress Grind)
Texture should resemble fine table salt
💧 Filtered Hot Water
Around 85–92°C (slightly cooler than most brew methods)
🛠️ AeroPress Brewer
📄 Paper Filter (or metal filter, if preferred)
🥄 Stirrer
☕ Mug or Server
Brewing Instructions
Step 1 — Prepare the AeroPress
Place a paper filter into the filter cap and rinse it with hot water.
This removes any paper taste and helps preheat your brewer.
Assemble the AeroPress over your mug.
Step 2 — Add Coffee
Add ground coffee into the chamber.
Recommended Ratio:
1:15 coffee-to-water ratio
(Example: 18g coffee for 250ml water)
For a stronger concentrate-style brew, use less water.
Step 3 — Add Water & Stir
Pour hot water over the coffee grounds until fully saturated.
Give it a gentle stir for 5–10 seconds to ensure even extraction.
Step 4 — Let It Brew
Insert the plunger gently to create a seal.
Allow the coffee to steep for 1–2 minutes.
Suggested brew times:
• 1 minute → Brighter, lighter cup
• 1½ minutes → Balanced & sweet
• 2 minutes → Richer body
Step 5 — Press Slowly
Press the plunger down gently with steady pressure.
Aim for a smooth press lasting around 20–30 seconds.
Stop once you hear the familiar hissing sound.
Step 6 — Sip & Enjoy
Enjoy your coffee black for maximum flavour clarity, or dilute with hot water for an Americano-style cup.
You can also add milk for a smoother, creamier experience.
