AeroPress 1101 SPRUCE ST

PHIDELPHIA, PA 19107

The AeroPress is a unique device that combines

simple and long lasting brew methods. It is a
filtered, full immersion brewing method. This
simply means that the coffee sits in water and
is then filtered finely with a paper filter. The
use of pressure to filter the coffee in an Aero-
Press does not make the resulting beverage
espresso. In order to achieve “espresso” you 4
would need 9 bars of pressure that extract
coffee within about 30 seconds among other
things.The AeroPress does however offer a
dense cup with clarity not found in a French 3
press or other full immersion brew methods.

AeroPress Techniques 2
There are multiple ways to tweak AeroPress Brewing.
We have found 3 that are the most common and taste
the best. It is up to your preference but we prefer the 1
8oz method and provide detailed steps in this guide.

We will touch on the other 2 methods:

1. Factory Method –This is the method outlined by

aerobie the AeroPress manufacturer and instructions
for this come with the AeroPress.

2. 12o z Bypass Method –This method is where

the AeroPress is brewed similar to the 8oz Inverted
Method except more coffee is used and water is
added at end of brew or to cup before AeroPress
is plunged to yield a 12oz cup.

No Moisture

1. ASSEMBLE AEROPRESS 3. DOSE COFFEE

Assemble your AeroPress. Make sure the entire
assembly is dry, since any residual moisture can
compromise the device’s seal. Place plunger just
inside the brew chamber and flip up. The brew
chamber has the numbers on it and the plunger
has the rubber seal attached to it.
2. GRIND COFFEE
It is important for the coffee to be ground with a
quality burr grinder. Grind size should be a bit finer
than drip but not quite as fine as espresso.
c.
We recommend 16 grams of coffee to about 235
grams of water. Simply weighed; this is a heaping
scoop using the included AeroPress spoon (Note: a
household tablespoon is approx. 5 grams of ground
coffee). Place provided funnel on top of brew
chamber and add coffee.

4. BLOOM COFFEE 7. FLIP & PRESS

Now we will add water. Total immersion time
between coffee and water should be between 90
seconds and 2 minutes. 190 degree water is opti-
mal so if boiling water let it sit for a moment.
Fill brew chamber about halfway so that the
freshly roasted coffee can have room to bloom.
5. STIR & ADD WATER
Use the provided stirrer and give slow stirs. Add
water to bring total level just below the top of the
brew chamber. Prepare the paper filter inside the
cap and screw the cap on tighly.
Flip the whole assembly over. Position it atop your
cup and begin applying downward pressure. You
ought to experience about 30 pounds of resistance
here. At the end of plunge you will hear a hissing
noise as the brew chamber release all air. It is normal
and indicates there is no more liquid to plunge.
