How to Use AeroPress?

Step 1: Make your AeroPress ready

Take your Aeropress and attach the piston to it. Push the piston a little deep but make sure you do not insert it completely in the base. Put it as such that the base faces upwards.

Step 2: Preheat the filter paper

Put the filter paper on the detachable cap and rinse it thoroughly with some warm water.

Step 3: Preheat the AeroPress

Rinse your AeroPress with some lukewarm water.

Step 4: Add coffee

Take the ground coffee and add it to the AeroPress. Shake it slightly to create a flat bed of grounded coffee. You can directly add medium-fine grind coffee. Around 14 to 28 grams of coffee would be good to go, as per your taste.

Step 5: Pour some hot water

Add 25% hot water over the coffee grounds, and add water in a circular motion, making sure that the grounds are completely saturated. Make sure you use double the amount of water for your coffee grounds. 28 to 56 ml water will be enough in this case. Give the mixture a fine stir after a few seconds.

Step 6: Pour the water again

Again add another 25% water and stir the mixture 4-8 times.

Step 7: Add the remaining water

Now gradually add the remaining water and stir the coffee 4-8 times finely.

Step 8: Place the filter cap

Put the filter cap on the top and turn it around to make sure it is locked well to the AeroPress. Let the coffee steep for around 10 to 50 seconds, as per the brew strength you desire.

Step 9: Flip your AeroPress

Put the AeroPress over the container in which you would like to extract the coffee.

Step 10: Press the plunger down

After steeping, attach the plunger and slowly press it down. Insert pressure through your forearm or your palm forcing the brewed coffee through the filter. The process would roughly take 20 to 30 seconds.
