James Hoffmann's Aeropress Technique

← Back

For Light Roast:

55g/L - High extraction
Finer grind
Hot water as close to boiling as possible

For Dark Roast:

60-66g/L - Lower extraction
Coarser grind
Less than boiling water, maybe even as low as ~85°C

Steps

Put filter paper into holder, lock it into the water holder then put that on top of the mug.

Place grounds in holder, give a bump to spread them out.

Start timer, add an appropriate proportion of water to ground coffee.

Wait 2 minutes.

Give a gentle swirl to knock floating ground coffee down.

Wait 30 seconds.

Press the press down relatively gently, no need to lean into it.

Press it all the way down, then pull back slightly to prevent drips.

Clean the Aeropress.

Tweak grind size or temperature until you find a good balance.
