Invented by engineer Alan Adler, of Aerobie Frisbee fame, the AeroPress has, fittingly, inspired crazy ingenuity in a variety of brew methods. The portable and lightweight AeroPress brews a sweet, full-bodied cup wherever you are: at home, camping or on a road trip. This particular method is best when you’re out in the field or if you don’t have a scale.
Press the plunger into the body of the AeroPress, just to the #4 position then invert the AeroPress so that it rests on the plunger.
Insert a filter into the filter basket and carefully rinse with hot water, set aside
Pour coffee into the brewer then fill halfway with hot water, start timer
Allow coffee to bloom for 30 sec and stir gently with the Aeropress Paddle
Fill the brewer with remaining water
Secure filter cap on brewer and brew for additional 60-90 seconds
Quickly and carefully flip Aeropress over onto cup or decanter
Using consistent pressure, fully depress plunger, this should take around 30 seconds
Remove filter cap to dispose of spent filter and grounds
Adjust coffee strength with excess hot water, if desired and enjoy
Sometimes you just don’t want to scroll… so we’ve unprettified it.
