Let's face it. When we talk coffee we must mention James Hoffmann.
Therefore for the Aeropress, we dare not recommend anything else but; The James Hoffmann method:
Equipment needed:
- Aeropress
- Aeropress paper filter
- Coffee grinder
- Kettle
- Digital scale
- Timer
- Freshly roasted coffee beans
Ingredients:
- 11g of freshly ground coffee
- 200g of water
Instructions:
-
Set brewer in standard position on a server. No need to rinse or preheat the filter. Add coffee.
-
Start a timer and add 200g of water, aiming to wet all the coffee during pouring.
-
Then immediately place the plunger on top of the brewer, about 1 cm in. This creates a vacuum to stop the coffee from dripping through.
-
Wait 2 minutes.
-
Holding the brewer and the plunger, gently swirl the brewer.
-
Wait 30 seconds.
-
Press gently all the way, it takes about 30 seconds.
-
Drink and enjoy!
Feel free to adjust the coffee-to-water ratio or grind size to suit your preferences.
Happy brewing!
