Ingredients:

• Coarsely ground coffee beans
• Hot water (around 200°F or 93°C)
• AeroPress
• AeroPress filter
• Stirring utensil
• Timer
• Coffee mug

Choose Quality Beans:
Starting with high-quality, freshly roasted coffee beans will set you up for brewing success.

Measure Coffee:
Use a fine to medium grind for AeroPress coffee. Start with about 1 to 2 teaspoons (11g-22g by weight) of coffee, depending on your taste preference.

Prepare AeroPress:
Assemble the AeroPress by placing a paper filter in the filter cap. Attach the filter cap to the bottom of the AeroPress and set it on top of your coffee mug.

Preheat and Wet Filter:
Pour some hot water into the AeroPress to wet the filter and preheat the device. Discard the water from your mug.

Add Coffee:
Place the finely ground coffee into the AeroPress.

Add Water:
Start a timer and pour hot water over the coffee grounds. Fill the AeroPress to the desired level, keeping in mind that a standard ratio is 1:16 (coffee to water). For example, if you used 14 grams of coffee, fill the AeroPress to the 200ml mark.

Stir:
Use the stirring utensil to stir the coffee-water mixture for about 10 seconds. This ensures even saturation.

Attach Plunger and Steep:
Attach the plunger to the AeroPress and let the coffee steep for about 1 minute.

Press:
After the steeping time, press down on the plunger slowly and steadily until you hear a hissing sound. This indicates that the brewing process is complete.

Enjoy:
Remove the AeroPress from your mug, give the coffee a quick stir if desired, and enjoy your delicious cup of AeroPress coffee!
