HOW TO BREW: AEROPRESS

HOW TO BREW | AEROPRESS

This is the standard (upright) extraction recipe used by THE WORD COFFEE using an Aeropress.

What you need

・Purified water or soft mineral water

・Aeropress and dedicated paper filter

・Coffee server

・Coffee kettle

A coffee scale, smartphone timer, or kitchen scale

Recipe

Ratio: Coffee powder/water = 1:13-1:15 *This time, 14g powder: 200ml water

Mesh (grind size) / Medium to medium-coarse

Water temperature: 90℃-85℃

- Place the paper filter in the chamber and blanch it.

- Discard the water used for blanching and place the server and the chamber containing the powder on the scale.

・Pour in all the hot water as soon as the timer starts. Set the plunger (piston part), hold the server and press body, and spin several times.

-Wait until the timer reaches 4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, spin the machine again and press slowly for 30 seconds. When you hear the sound of air escaping, remove the press from the server and the extraction is complete.

-The flavor is basically adjusted by the grind size and the amount of water to powder ratio. Fine adjustments can be made by changing the water temperature.

-Spinning is done to mix the powder and water.

-When pressing, be sure to remove the press body and server from the scale before proceeding.

-In addition to the standard method, there is also the inverted method (where the coffee machine is turned upside down). The inverted method has a similar flavor to the immersion method, but because it passes through a filter, no fine powder remains, allowing you to enjoy clean, mild coffee. However, THE WORD COFFEE uses the standard upright method, which allows for a more pronounced flavor profile.
