HOW TO BREW WITH AEROPRESS

Written By Nigel Rafferty

Aeropress (Inverted Method)

Coffee: 20g

Water: 240g

Temp: 176F-200F

Ratio: 1:12 (coffee : water)

Grind: Med-Fine (Baratza Encore Setting 14) 

Brew Time: 1:15 min

  1. In terms of water temperature, I encourage you to play with temperatures between 176F and 200F. Different flavors can be highlighted with different temperatures.

  2. Pre-wet filter and preheat serving cup.

  3. Invert the Aeropress on the scale and tare it to 0 grams.

  4. Pour coffee into Aeropress with provided Aeropress funnel

  5. Start timer and pour 40g of water. Bloom for 30 seconds.

  6. At 0:30, pour remaining 200g of water stopping at 240g (40g Bloom + 200g pour) 

  7. Place cap and filter onto Aeropress

  8. Empty preheat water from serving vessel and place the Aeropress right side up onto serving vessel

  9. At 1:15, begin pressing the Aeropress plunger 

  10.  Aim to be done pressing by 1:45 (30 sec of pressing)

- I stop pressing when I hear the first sound of air after the water is pressed through the coffee puck.
