AEROPRESS BREW GUIDE

AEROPRESS MADE SIMPLE

This space-age machine, similarly to the french press, uses hand pressure to push hot water through medium coffee grounds but in a tall, cylindrical plastic tube. Using water no hotter than 200 degrees, this method produces a very clean, very defined cup of coffee. THE METHOD: A tall, cylindrical, tube with a paper filter, midway. THE SECRET: In comparison to the French press, the paper filter catches and absorbs more of the coffee’s natural oils. THE RESULT: A very clean, refined brew with defined tasting notes.
