Using the digital scale, ensure the ingredients’ measurements are accurate.
Take the Aeropress apart and set the plunger aside.
Place a dry filter in the filter basket and attach it to the brew chamber.
Screw the lid on tightly. The filter doesn’t have to be rinsed, as this does not make much difference in the coffee.
Place the brewer in a standing position over your serving mug of choice. The brewer need not have been preheated.
Add 11g of ground coffee to the brewer. For a light roast, make sure it is fine, but for a medium to dark roast, it can be coarser. Ensure the coffee is flat and leveled.
Start the timer and gradually add in all the hot water at once. Aim to wet all the coffee during pouring. For a light roast, get the water at boiling point, but for medium to dark roast, 185°F or 85°C and higher is appropriate.
Immediately put the plunger piece of the Aeropress on top of the brewer 1cm deep. This will create a vacuum to stop the coffee from dripping.
Let the coffee steep.
After 2 minutes on the timer, hold the serving mug, plunger, and brewer.
Give them a swirl. Let everything settle for 30 seconds after swirling.
Gently press the coffee until you get every drop from the brewer.
Drink and enjoy!
