Getting the Most from Your AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker

Congratulations! As the owner of an AeroPress coffee maker, you have in your hands a simple device for making the best coffee or espresso you’ve ever tasted.

It’s easy and fun.

For a quick start, watch a video on the AeroPress product page of our web site, www.aerobie.com

Brewing a Double-Espresso, a 10 Ounce Mug of American Coffee, or a Latte:

1 Remove the plunger and

the cap from the chamber.

2 Put a filter in the cap and twist it onto the

chamber.

3 Stand the chamber on a sturdy mug.

4 Put two AeroPress scoops of fine-drip grind

coffee into the chamber.

5 Pour hot water slowly into the chamber

up to the number 2. Use 175oF (80oC) water for the very best taste.

6 Mix the water and coffee with the stirrer

for about 10 seconds.

7 Wet the rubber seal and insert the plunger

into the chamber. Gently press down about a quarter of an inch and maintain that pressure for about 20 to 30 seconds until the plunger bottoms on the coffee. Gentle pressure is the key to easy AeroPressing.

8 You've just made a double espresso.

For American coffee, top-off the mug with hot water. For a latte, top-off the mug with hot milk.

Cleanup and Storage:

Remove the cap and set it aside. Push the plunger to eject the "puck" of spent grounds into the trash (or save for compost or plant food.)

Rinse and/or brush away any grounds left on the rubber seal. The seal has already wiped your chamber clean, so no further cleanup

is needed.

Always eject the puck right after brewing and store your AeroPress with the plunger pushed all the way through or completely removed.

Storing the seal uncompressed will keep your seal air-tight for years.
