The Tastiest Aeropress Recipe

There is more than a single method for getting good results in an Aeropress. I've found that the Inversion method produces excellent results.

Instructions

  • Heat your kettle to 194-196 F. Use a digital thermometer to achieve perfect temperature.
  • Grind 18 grams of coffee to a 6/10 setting, where 1 is finest espresso grind and 10 is consistency you'd use for drip coffee. A digital scale is helpful to measure the right weight.
  • Wet the paper filter in the Aeropress cap over your mug. Swirl and dump the hot water. Set your lid aside.
  • Add the ground coffee. Shake them until they lie flat at the top of the plunger.
  • With a timer or stopwatch counting, pour 216g of water over the grounds until you reach the top of the Aeropress. Use a paddle or knife to give the grounds a brief, gentle stir and break up any clumps.
  • Wait until you've reached a full minute before attaching the lid to the top of the Aeropress.
  • Holding the middle of the Aeropress (both top and bottom) flip the Aeropress on top of your mug and plunge.
