Coffee Brewing Guide: Learn to operate the AeroPress and add a coffee ritual to your life!

AeroPress is the easiest and most convenient choice for making a cup of coffee, whether at home or in the office, allowing you to easily get a cup of delicious coffee while having fun. AeroPress has the extraction methods of immersion, filtration, and pressure, and compared with other coffee extraction methods, the coffee extracted by AeroPress is not so bitter and has no strong acid. If you are used to drinking bitter coffee, the coffee extracted by AeroPress may be a little light for you, and you need to adjust the grinding degree to be finer.

Today we use AeroPress to make a cup of coffee~

Equipment needed : AeroPress, coffee pot, coffee cup, coffee grinder

AeroPress Brewing Steps

1. Grind the coffee. If the coffee is ground too coarsely, the brewed coffee will be weaker. Of course, it depends on personal preference. It is generally recommended that the grinding degree is between espresso and drip coffee.

2. Install the two tubes of the AeroPress with the plungers facing down.

3. Put the filter paper into the filter and preheat it with hot water. On the one hand, this will make the filter paper fit well, and on the other hand, the hot water will wash away the pulp smell.

4. Pour in the ground coffee powder.

5. Make the first water injection, pour about 50ml of water with a temperature of about 80-83 degrees, and steam for 45 seconds.

6. Use a stirring stick to stir evenly and gently to ensure that all the coffee powder is soaked.

7. Fill water for the second time, inject about 50ml of water again.

8. Install the filter and tighten it.

9. Keep the coffee powder in the water for a total of 1 minute. Shake gently for 10 seconds. Place the AeroPress on the coffee cup and stabilize it. Apply even and gentle pressure for 15-25 seconds to filter the coffee liquid into the coffee cup.

10. You can dilute the coffee according to your preference. If you are not sure, you can try adjusting the ratio of 1:1 between water and coffee.
