AeroPress coffee is easy to make, but it's not necessarily intuitive. Here are simple AeroPress instructions. You'll be brewing perfect cups of concentrated coffee before you know it!
Place the filter in the cap of the AeroPress and carefully pour hot water over it. Discard the rinse water. Then attach the filter cap to the brewing chamber.
Set up the brewing chamber and add coffee grounds. Place the brewing chamber on a cup or other heat-safe container. Add the coffee grounds, being careful not to spill grounds on the seal.
Start your timer and pour about an ounce of water in a circular motion over the grounds. Make sure you cover the grounds evenly. Then let the coffee bloom for 30 seconds.
Pour water to fill the chamber, up to the fourth line. Stir the mixture 10 times and then let the AeroPress sit for two minutes.
Attach the plunger and carefully push it down.
Notes
If your kettle has a temperature gauge, aim for about 200 F. If not, let the water sit for a minute or two after boiling so it can reach the ideal AeroPress water temperature. Use a ratio of 15-16 grams (one rounded scoop) of coffee to 7 ounces of water. Make sure your coffee is ground to a medium-fine consistency.
