HOW TO BREW AEROPRESS ESPRESSO
- Start by boiling water in a kettle or pot until it reaches 175-185°F (79-85°C), which is the ideal temperature for brewing coffee with an Aeropress.
- Grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency, which is suitable for Aeropress brewing.
- Insert a paper filter into the Aeropress filter basket and wet it with hot water to remove any paper taste.
- Place the Aeropress on top of a mug or carafe and add the coffee grounds to the brew chamber.
- Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, filling the chamber up to the desired level. Use a stirring paddle or spoon to agitate the coffee for 10-15 seconds.
- Insert the plunger into the brew chamber and gently press down with steady pressure for 20-30 seconds, until all the brewed coffee has been extracted.
- Remove the Aeropress from the mug or carafe and discard the used coffee grounds and filter.
- Rinse the Aeropress with hot water and let it dry completely before storing it.
