RUNBOOK

  1. invert; load 15g grounds

    medium-fine — between pourover & espresso

  2. pour 220g water (85°C)

    lower temp = sweeter, less bitter for lighter roasts

  3. stir 5x; cap with wet filter

    seal creates a vacuum — no dripping

  4. wait until 1:15

    full immersion phase

  5. flip + press for 20s

    stop on hiss. pressing too hard adds bitterness.

DIAL IT IN

the AeroPress is the most forgiving brewer. experiment freely: try 80°C water for fruity light roasts, or 95°C for dark roasts. metal filter lets oils through like French press.
