Equipment You'll Need

Coffee Amount and Grind Size

Prepare Your Water and Coffee: Bring 7 oz (200 g) of water to a boil. Weigh out 15–18 grams of coffee. Grind to a texture slightly finer than sea salt.
Prepare the Filter: Insert a paper filter into the AeroPress's detachable plastic cap. Use some of your hot water to wet your filter and cap.
Assemble Your AeroPress: Make sure the entire assembly is dry, as any residual moisture can compromise the device’s seal.
Place it on Your Scale: With the flared end up, then tare the weight.
Add Your Ground Coffee: Be careful not to spill any grounds into the ring-shaped gutter at the top of the AeroPress.
Saturate Your Coffee Grounds: Start a timer. Add twice the weight of water than you have grounds (e.g., for 15 grams coffee, add 30 grams water). The water should be about 200 degrees F.
Fill the Chamber and Stir: Use the remainder of the hot water to fill the chamber. After a minute has elapsed, stir grounds 10 times to agitate.
Fasten the Cap and Flip: Fasten the cap, ensuring it locks into the grooves tightly. Flip the whole assembly over with haste and control.
Apply Pressure: Position it atop your brew vessel and begin applying downward pressure. You will experience about 30 pounds of resistance here.
Discard the Puck and Enjoy: Once you’ve unscrewed the cap, you can pop out the filter and the puck of condensed grounds by simply pushing AeroPress’s interior section a final inch.

Bitter or Harsh Taste: If your coffee tastes bitter, it may be over-extracted. Try using a coarser grind or reducing the brew time.
Weak or Underdeveloped Flavors: If the coffee tastes weak or watery, it may be under-extracted. Consider using a finer grind or increasing the brew time.
Inconsistent Brews: If your brews are inconsistent, make sure you're using the same coffee-to-water ratio and water temperature each time. A scale can help with this.

Stir, Don't Swirl: Use a chopstick or a narrow spoon to stir the coffee grounds after adding water. This ensures even saturation and can lead to a more balanced extraction.
The Back Pressure Technique: To prevent water from dripping through prematurely, insert the plunger to create back pressure. This ensures that water is forced through under pressure for optimal extraction.
The Inverted Method: For a more robust flavor, try the inverted brewing method. This allows the coffee to steep before any under-extracted coffee starts to drip through the filter, giving you a more balanced cup.
