Aeropress is one of the most genius brewing devices we have come across.

It is a very simple way of making one cup of excellent coffee or moka (strong coffee like the one from a Bialetti coffee maker.)

Here is our basic Aeropress recipe for a filter like coffee:

1. Rinse the paper filter with running tap water for 10 seconds
2. Turn the Aeropress upside down with the handle about 1 cm inside the bottom of the Aeropress. (Inverted method)
3. Use 14 to 16 grams of freshly filter or slightly fine filter ground coffee (light roast)
4. Pour 2dl of water at about 95°C over the coffee.
5. Allow 45 to 60 seconds steep time after 3 vigourous stirs.
6. Mount the filter and filter holder on the Aeropress.
7. Turn the Aeropress around and press the contents into a large cup or pitcher by using your body weight
8. Stir the finished coffee and enjoy.

For a stronger coffee similar to the one made on a Bialetti pot, you can follow this recipe:

1. Rinse the paper filter with running tap water for 10 seconds
2. Use 20 grams of darker roasted coffee (Tim Wendelboe espresso or similar) ground for Bialetti moka pots (quite fine)
3. Pour 1 – 1,5 dl of water brought to a boil (straight from the water boiler) on the ground coffee or poured into the aeropress handle before pouring on the coffee for a slightly lower brew water temperature.
4. Give the brew 3 vigourous stirs.
5. Press by using your body weight and enjoy.
