Aeropress Brew Guide

 

AeroPress

 

The Aeropress is one of the newest brewing methods and the perfect camping or travel partner. It is easy to use, tolerant of different grind sizes, affordable and virtually indestructible. It also makes an incredibly clean and complex and aromatic cup of coffee. However due to its limited capacity, it is really only suitable for single cup brewing.

 

Method

 

You will Need:

  • Freshly ground coffee
  • Scales
  • Kettle & water
  • Timer
  • Spoon
