  • Kettle

Ingredients
  

  • 35 grams coarsely ground coffee
  • 150 grams water (81 degrees Celsius)

Instructions
 

  • Measure out 35 grams of coffee and grind “coarsely” (probably like a 9 or 10 out of 10 coarseness).
  • Add the plunger to the AeroPress and set it up in inverted position.  Add the ground coffee.
  • Pre-wet the filter cap with paper filter and put it aside.
  • Heat 150 grams of water to 81 degrees Celsius.
  • Over the next 15 seconds, pour 150 grams of 81-degree water onto the coffee.
  • Stir for 15 seconds, put the lid on, and wait until there is 1 minute on the timer (i.e., another 30 seconds).
  • Invert the Aeropress, give it a swirl, and plunge it.
  • Finally, add 100-120 grams of water to taste.
