Making coffee with an Aeropress

Brewing coffee with an Aeropress is a popular brewing method known for its rich and flavourful coffee. The Aeropress is a small device designed to easily brew coffee without much hassle. Using this method, you can brew a delicious cup of coffee in just a few minutes.

Step 1: Grind the coffee

Start by grinding your coffee beans. For Aeropress, it is best to use a medium-fine grind. You will need approximately 17-20 grams of coffee for one cup.

Step 2: Heat the water

Next, heat the water to about 80°C. It is important not to make the water too hot, as this can make the coffee bitter. Pour the water into a kettle and let it cool for a few minutes before use.

Step 3: Place the filter

Place the paper filter in the Aeropress. Rinse the filter beforehand with warm water to remove any paper residue.

Step 4: Add the coffee

Place the ground coffee in the Aeropress. Make sure the Aeropress is on a stable surface.

Step 5: Add water

Pour a small amount of water over the coffee to allow it to 'bloom'. Wait about 30 seconds before adding the rest of the water.

Step 6: Stir the coffee

Gently stir the coffee to ensure all the coffee comes into contact with the water.

Step 7: Press the coffee

Attach the top of the Aeropress and press the coffee out of the Aeropress using the plunger. Slowly press the plunger down until you hear a hissing sound. This means all the air has escaped from the Aeropress and the coffee is ready to be served.
