This style of brewing is so versatile, allowing for both immersion and drip methods. The main benefits are its portable size and minimal equipment requirements. You don’t need a fancy kettle or pour technique, making it an ideal travel buddy!
What you'll need
- Kettle
- Scales
- Timer
- Aeropress
- Custom paper filter
- Mug to plunge into
Recipe
- 15g coffee
- 250g water
- Total brew time: 2 min
- Grind size: medium (coarser than pour over)
Method
- Bring your kettle to the boil
- Place filter paper in filter cap and screw to bottom of Aeropress chamber
- Place chamber on mug and pour in boiling water to wet filter and warm chamber
- Once drained and mug had a chance to preheat, empty water from mug
- Weigh out beans, grind, place ground coffee in chamber and gently level off. Place mug with chamber on scales and tare to zero.
- Begin your timer and add 50gm of water, or if you don’t have a set of scales, fill up to the number 1. The aim is to saturate all the grounds so they start extracting at the same time.
- Leave coffee to bloom for 30 seconds.
- After 30 seconds, add the remaining water to take you up to 250g or to the top of the chamber, and remove chamber and mug from scales.
- Carefully insert plunger into top of chamber, creating a vacuum to prevent the coffee from dripping out the bottom.
- After 2 minutes, slowly press plunger down until the coffee has completely passed through filter.
