Brew Guides Just For You

We will be bringing you our home brew guides for all the different coffee paraphernalia.

01.

Boil your water, and then preheat the Aeropress and rinse the ﬁlter paper by performing an empty brew. This is important as it means the implement won’t leach heat from your brewing process and it ﬂushes the paper to reduce a papery taste in the coffee.

02.

Weigh out 1 serve of coffee. If not pre-ground use a burr grinder to grind your coffee on a medium-fine setting. Freshly ground is always best if possible.

03.

Weigh out your dose of coffee. If not pre-ground use a burr grinder to grind your coffee to the desired particle size. See the variables chart for the correct values of grind size and dose for your desired extraction.

04.

Place the ground coffee directly in the chamber, tare the scale, and add the hot water vigorously until the water volume is correct. Give the coffee a good stir to allow the coffee to de-gas (bloom).

05.

If traditional place the push component in to create an airlock and hold the coffee and water in extraction for the total bloom time. If inverted then place the lid back on, with the rinsed ﬁlter paper, and ﬂip the Aeropress over onto the cup at the end of the total bloom time.

06.

Press down with a constant amount of force to complete the brew. If you have difficulty in pressing you may have to make your grind courser.
