AeroPress Recipes

The Classic AeroPress method uses 17g coffee, 220g water at 85°C, stir 10 seconds, press gently for 60 seconds total. The Inverted method flips the AeroPress (plunger at bottom) for full immersion, then flip and press. Winning competition recipes often use finer grind, lower temp (80-82°C), and extended bloom times. AeroPress variables: grind size (fine like espresso to medium like drip), water temperature (75-95°C), brew time (1-4 minutes), agitation (stirring), and water ratio (1:12 to 1:18). The device is forgiving—experiment to find your taste preference. The World AeroPress Championship has produced countless creative recipes; the winners' methods are often published and worth trying. Paper filters produce clean cups; metal filters allow oils through for more body.
