Basic Aeropress Coffee

  • ← Back to overview

    • Brewing Method: Aeropress

    This is one of my “base” recipes, for whenever I feel lazy. Simple, straightforward, but still hits the spot.

    Be careful inverting the Aeropress, you can really mess it up. Don’t burn yourself.

    Get a Prismo cap instead if you do it often.

    Grind your 18 grams of coffee medium-coarse, at a 70 on the Kingrinder K6. Prepare the Aeropress; place one or two filters inside. Use the inverted style or a Prismo cap.

    Get your water heated to 95°C before pouring it into the Aeropress, covering all the coffee, then start your timer.

    Wait until 1 minute and 30 seconds have passed, then stir the coffee and make sure to disturb the crust on top until it’s fully dissolved again.

    At the 2:00 minute mark, place the Aeropress on a sturdy cup and begin pressing down slowly. Aim to take about 30 seconds for this, finishing at 2:30. Press through the hiss.

    Add milk and sugar to taste.
