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.

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.

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.
