The Aeropress method is growing in popularity for several reasons.
Lightweight and durable, it is a great portable option that requires no electricity.
The Aeropress produces a cup that is clean yet flavourful, with less coffee sediment than a French Press.
Depending on the recipe you use, you can brew espresso-like coffee or a lighter filter-style coffee.
Grind size: Medium-fine grind, smoother than sand.
Weight of ground coffee: 18g
Volume of water: 240ml
Best freshly ground but if you don't have a grinder we are happy to do it for you!
- Boil the kettle and leave to rest for 1 minute.
- Insert a paper filter into the cap of the Aeropress and pre-wet it with the hot water.
- Remove the plunger and place your mug underneath the base of the Aeropress.
- Add 18g ground coffee into the Aeropress and pour 240ml of water.
- Stir a few times and place plunger into the Aeropress to stop the coffee dripping.
- Leave to brew for 2 minutes and gently press down to extract the rest of the coffee.
Top Tip: Pre-wetting the paper filter gets rid of the paper odour that may affect the flavour profiles of the coffee.
