Method

Heat fresh water to 93-96°C.
Grind 16g of Studio Black coffee to a medium-fine consistency (similar to table salt).
Insert the plunger into the AeroPress chamber and pull it back to create the inverted position.
Add the ground coffee directly into the inverted AeroPress.
Start your timer and pour approximately 50g of water over the grounds to begin the bloom.
Gently stir to ensure all grounds are evenly saturated.
Allow the coffee to bloom for 30 seconds.
Slowly pour the remaining water until you reach 250g total.
Place the filter cap onto the AeroPress and tighten securely.
Let the coffee steep for 2 minutes in the inverted position.
After 2 minutes, gently stir once more.
Carefully flip the AeroPress onto your mug or server.
Press the plunger slowly and steadily until you reach the bottom.
Remove the AeroPress, swirl the coffee, and enjoy.

Frequently asked questions

The plunger is really hard to press, is this normal?

No - pressing should feel smooth and easy. Your coffee may be too fine which can block the flow. Therefore, grind slightly coarser, and check your filter isn't clogged up.

Why do I need to rinse the filter paper before brewing?

Rinsing removes the papery flavours from the coffee, preheats the brewer and helps the filter stick in place.

The story behind the AeroPress

Invented in 2005 by Alan Adler (who also created the Aerobie throwing ring), the AeroPress is an unusual yet immensely popular coffee brewer. It works similarly to a large syringe: hot water and coffee steep inside the main chamber before a piston is used to press the brew through a paper filter. The result is a smooth, well-balanced cup of coffee that can be enjoyed at home or taken anywhere you travel.
