The Aeropress Technique

THE AEROPRESS TECHNIQUE

 MATERIALS NEEDED:

 Aeropress, Small Circular Paper Filter, 20g Coffee, 125ml Water, Spoon/Agitator

STEP 1

Whilst the kettle is boiling grind 20g of coffee to a medium to medium-fine level, place the filter into the top cap, and throughly rinse it through.

STEP 2

Keeping the Aeropress inverted, push the plunger to the number that corresponds to the amount of coffee you want to make. In this case, 3 cups are being made.

STEP 3

Fill to the top with hot water, having left it for a few minutes off the boil. Then, using either a teaspoon or the Aeropress supplied Agitator, thoroughly stir the coffee grounds. Make sure your stirrer is making contact with the bottom, this ensures a good stir.

STEP 4

Flip your Aeropress the other way up and place onto your cup. Gently push straight down on the plunger keeping your weight central to the cup. There may be a bit of resistance, in which case lean a bit more weight into the plunger, again keeping it centred - otherwise you might have a spillage on your hands.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The Aeropress is a quick and relatively simple espresso brewing method, perfect for the adventurous. Alternatively, it's a great early morning caffeine-hit, requiring very little preparation - you can add a drop of water to make an Aeropress americano.
