Makes 1 cup of delicious coffee

Ingredients

  • 11g whole coffee beans (fresh is best, shop here)
  • 200mL hot water at 95°C

Instructions

  1. Make sure Aeropress is water-tight, then pre-heat the Aeropress by pouring a few grams of hot water in it
  2. Insert paper filter into the cap and rinse with hot water, this reduces the paper taste and enhances filtration
  3. Place 11g of whole coffee beans into the Comandante grinder set on 12 clicks (if you don’t have a Comandante, the grind needs to be reasonably fine, close to espresso grind)
  4. Expel the pre-heat water and place the ground coffee in the Aeropress
  5. Pour 30mL of 95°C hot water into the Aeropress for the coffee bloom and stir briefly
  6. Top up with more hot water to 200 mL total
  7. Wait 2 minutes from the first pour, then screw on the cap with the filter
  8. Invert Aeropress over a pot, carafe, or mug and press slowly for 30 seconds
  9. Stop pressing once hissing starts (no need to press all the way)
  10. Enjoy!
