Our Guidelines 

Traditional Method

• Weigh 16 gr of coffee on the scale and grind it just before you start brewing
• Place the filter paper into the plastic holder
• Start heating your water to the desired temperature (use filtered water as tap water will give the brew a harsh taste) 
• Place your server on the scale and on top place the AeroPress with the filter down
• Rinse with hot water the filter paper and preheat the AeroPress
• Add your fresh grinded coffee – 16 g
• Start your time on the scale
• Pour gently on top 56 ml of water for the bloom stage which will take 30 sec
• After 30 sec add 70 ml of water and wait 10 sec
• After 10 sec add 125 ml of water, this will bring you up to 250 ml of water, our desired quantity 
• Place the piston immediately in its place creating a vacuum that will hold the coffee from dripping
• When the timer hits 1:30 min take the server and brewer off the scale and start pushing the piston down, gently, up until you hit 2:00 min
• Remove the brewer from the server, remove spent coffee, clean with hot water, no soap, and place the brewer to dry
• Enjoy a fresh brew each day

Inverted Method

• Weigh 16 gr of coffee on the scale and grind it just before you start brewing
• Preheat the AeroPress with hot water
• Place the filter paper into the plastic holder
• Start heating your water to the desired temperature (use filtered water as tap water will give the brew a harsh taste) 

• Place the piston in the brewer, turn upside down and place it on the scale
• Rinse the filter paper from the plastic holder with hot water
• Place the fresh ground coffee – 16g – in the brewer
• Start your time on the scale
• Add 56 ml of water and wait 30 sec for the bloom stage
• After 30 sec add the remaining 200 ml of water
• Place the filter holder on top and secure it
• Let the coffee steep up to 2:00 min
• Place the server on top and with a smooth reverse action and invert the AeroPress onto the server
• Gently start plunging the piston down until all of the water passes through the coffee, this should be up to 2:30 min
• Remove the brewer from the server, remove spent coffee, clean with hot water, no soap, and place the brewer to dry
• Enjoy a fresh brew each day

Small tip:

If you want a “cleaner” cup, lighter in body, we recommend using 2 filter papers instead of only one.
