Inverted Aeropress Recipe

  • Method: Inverted

  • Tools Needed: Aeropress, Paper Filter,Grinder, Scale, Kettle, Timer

  • Coffee Dose: 15-18 grams

  • Grind size: Slightly finer than sea salt

  • Water Dose: 200 grams,

  • Water Temp: 205F-210F

  • Brew time: 1-1:30 minutes

Procedure:

  1. Bring 7 oz (200 g) of water to a boil.

  2. Weigh out 15-18 grams of coffee.

  3. Grind to a texture slightly finer than sea salt.

  4. Insert a paper filter into the AeroPress’ detachable plastic cap.

  5. Use some of your hot water to wet your filter and cap.

  6. Assemble your AeroPress.

  7. Place it on your scale with the flared end up, then tare the weight.

  8. Add your ground coffee. Be careful not to spill any grounds into the ring-shaped gutter at the top of the AeroPress.

  9. Saturate your coffee grounds. Start a timer. Add twice the weight of water than you have grounds. The water should be about 200° F. Make sure the coffee is saturated evenly,

  10. Let it sit for 30 seconds.

  11. Use the remainder of the hot water to fill the chamber.

  12. After a minute has elapsed, stir grounds 10 times to agitate.

  13. Fasten the cap, ensuring it locks into the grooves tightly. Flip the whole assembly over with haste and control.

  14. Position it atop your brew vessel and begin applying downward pressure.

  15. You will experience about 30 pounds of resistance here. Your coffee is fully brewed once it begins to make a hissing sound. This means there is no more water to push through the device.

  16. Once you've unscrewed the cap, you can pop out the filter and the puck of condensed grounds by simply pushing AeroPress's interior section a final inch.

  17. Enjoy!
