Coffee/AreoPress Recipe Zero

This recipe is designed for the AeroPress Go, perfect for travel without a thermometer or scale. It's optimised for medium roast, medium-fine ground coffee.

Preparation

  • Boil water, but not to 100°C.
  • Rinse the plunger, chamber, and filter cap (with 2 paper filters) using hot water. Rinsing maintains temperature and enhances taste. I usually rinse the plunger and chamber first, and then paper and filter cap with same water.
  • Set up AeroPress in inverted position, aligning plunger to the 'registered' mark.

Brewing

  • Add one level AeroPress spoon of coffee grounds.
  • Pour a small amount of water to wet grounds and bloom.
  • Stir 2 times left-right and top-down with the provided stirrer.
  • Slowly fill the chamber with remaining water.
  • Carefully attach and lock the filter cap. Invert AeroPress onto your cup and press until you hear a hiss.
  • Clean your AeroPress while coffee settles for a minute.
  • Serve as is, or customise with hot water or ice.
