James Hoffmann's recipe

Ingredients

  • 11–12 g ground coffee, Aergrind set at 2.4
  • 200 ml water

Instructions

  1. Set brewer in standard position on a server. Don't rinse or preheat the brewer (it doesn't make any difference). Add the ground coffee to the brew chamber.
  2. For medium roast coffee, heat water to 90–95°C. For dark roast coffee, try 85–90°C.
  3. Start a timer, add water. You can rotate the AeroPress while pouring to make sure all the coffee is wet.
  4. Immediately place the plunger on top of the brewer, about 1 cm in. This creates a vacuum to stop the coffee from dripping through.
  5. Wait 2 minutes.
  6. Holding the brewer and the plunger, gently swirl the brewer to break the "coffee crust".
  7. Wait 30 seconds.
  8. Press gently all the way, it takes about 30 seconds.
