Brewing a cup of Aeropress coffee is like creating a magic potion – mysterious yet delightfully satisfying. This method delivers a robust, rich flavor that dances on your taste buds. It’s artisanal alchemy at its finest.

  • Cooking Method: Aeropress brewing
  • Prep Time: 2 minutes
  • Brew Time: 2 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: Beverage

Ingredients

  • 14 grams of freshly ground coffee (medium-fine grind)
  • 200 milliliters of hot water (92°C to 96°C or 197.6°F to 204.8°F)
  • 1 Aeropress coffee maker
  • 1 paper filter

Cooking Instructions

  1. Insert the paper filter into the Aeropress cap and rinse it with hot water to eliminate any paper taste. Assemble the Aeropress and place it on your mug or cup.
  2. Add the 14 grams of ground coffee into the Aeropress chamber.
  3. Start your timer and pour 50 milliliters of hot water over the coffee grounds. Wait for 30 seconds to allow the coffee to bloom.
  4. Pour the remaining 150 milliliters of hot water, making sure all grounds are saturated.
  5. Stir gently for 10 seconds; don’t get too excited, we want coffee, not a whirlpool.
  6. Attach the plunger and press down slowly and steadily until you hear a hissing sound, taking about 20-30 seconds.
  7. Voilá! Your Aeropress magic is ready to dazzle your mornings!
