Preparation
Step 1
Heat the water at a temperature between 92 °C and 96 °C.
Step 2
Insert a paper filter into the AeroPress's detachable plastic cap and rinse it with hot water.
Step 3
Place it on your scale with the flared end up, then tare the weight. The numbers should appear upside-down. Add the desired amount of ground coffee and tare again.
Step 4
Pour the freshly boiled hot water completely saturating the grounds. Give it a stir to make sure the coffee is saturated.
Step 5
Fasten the cap, ensuring it locks into the grooves tightly. Wait about 1:15 min.
Step 6
Flip the whole assembly over with haste and control.
Step 7
Position it atop your brew vessel and begin applying downward pressure. This will take about 20-30 sec. Your coffee is fully brewed once it begins to make a hissing sound.
Step 8
Remove the appliance from the cup.
Step 9
Serve the coffee.
