Brewing Instructions:
- Fill pouring kettle with hot water. Place paper filter in cap, rinse, and attach to Aeropress.
- Weigh coffee to desired strength (17-21 grams) and grind.
- Use the funnel to transfer coffee into Aeropress. Place on a mug, or server, and put on a scale.
- Start your timer and pour 260g of water in 25 seconds (to the ‘4’ mark). Remove mug, with Aeropress, from the scale.
- At 35 seconds, stir for 5 seconds.
- At 45 seconds, place the plunger on top and slowly press for 1 minute.
- When the coffee bed looks dry, and nearly all the water is pushed out, ease up on your pressure.
- Remove the Aeropress, open the cap, and push out the coffee grounds to clean up. Serve.
BREW TIP: When pressing out the Aeropress, do not force the plunger down. A slow, steady press out is the key to a clean cup that is free of sediment. When nearing the end, and you can see coffee grounds, ease up on the pressure and stop when you hear a faint hissing noise. Do not push the plunger all the way down. There should be an air space of a couple inches between the plunger and the coffee.
GRIND TIP: If it is too hard to press out, your grind is probably too fine. If it is too easy, your grind is too coarse.
