Quick, easy, convenient, yet able to brew high-quality cups just as amazing as machines with many times the price tag, the AeroPress has recently gained a very strong following. The AeroPress is very forgiving and versatile with a lot of room for experimentation - here's two easy brewing methods to get you started:
Standard Method
For a robust, well-rounded, clean brew that the AeroPress is known for.
- Begin by placing two paper filters in your AeroPress cap. The added resistance from the double filters enhances our extraction.
- Place 15g of your chosen medium/fine Adore Coffee grounds into the chamber. Pour in 225g of boiling water, stirring gently to ensure every ground is adequately wetted.
- To prevent any water leakage, push the plunger about 1-2cm into the chamber's top, crafting a neat vacuum.
- Wait for 2 minutes, allowing the magic to happen. Then, gently and steadily plunge until you detect the sound of air hissing out. A word of caution: don't press further to avoid over-extraction and those unwelcome bitter tones.
- Adore every sip. Remember to give your AeroPress a quick cleanup afterwards.
Espresso-like/Bypass Method
For a more concentrated brew, like an espresso. Brewing with a higher coffee-to-water ratio can make for a creamier mouthfeel, even when adding water afterwards to taste.
- As above, position two paper filters into your AeroPress filter cap to increase resistance and enhance our extraction.
- Introduce 25g of finely ground Adore Coffee to the chamber, followed by 90-100g of boiling water. Stir with passion, making sure every ground is submerged and ready for extraction.
- If you don't have a pressure attachment, insert the plunger just 1-2cm into the chamber's top to form a protective vacuum. If you've got a pressure attachment, you can skip this step.
- After a 1-minute-30-second wait, give the plunger a vigorous press. This forceful action helps generate that inviting crema on top of your shot.
- Adjust with water to match your strength preference or add milk (or alternatives) to create that cafe vibe right in the comfort of your home.
Step into a new frontier in coffee brewing with the AeroPress.
