You’ll need the following:-

2. Aeropress
3. Digital Scale
4. Water off the boil
5. Your favourite cup
There are so many ways to make this. Our recommended method is as follows:
- Boil water, rinse Aeropress and wash paper filter.
- Construct in the upside down method – ie, put plunger top upside down on the table, insert tube in just 1cm and keep filter off
- Put 15g of freshly ground medium to fine coffee into the tube and top up with water. Weigh the coffee as all coffees weigh differently.
- Ensure water is off the boil (88 to 93deg) Fill Aeropress: this is approx 250 ml.
- Quickly agitate with a long spoon or knife to ensure all grounds along the bottom are wet.
- Screw on filter, invert into upright position over cup and plunge over 20seconds.
- Water should be in contact with the coffee for about 90seconds in total
- Serves 1 cup. Do not dilute. Drink as the cup cools and discover a world of flavors
