our preferred extraction
In the Aeropress, we prefer to use the inverted method for a more even extraction:
- Place the Aeropress upside down and make sure you have a solid connection between both parts as you will need to flip it later
- Add 12 g of freshly ground coffee of medium grind size
- Add 200 g of water just off the boil and stirr well so all the coffee grounds will extract evenly
- Let steep for 2 minutes, then screw on the lid including the paper filter you've wetted before to make it stick
- Hold the Aeropress at the conjunction of the upper and lower part and flip carefully
- Place onto a stable vessel and start pressing until you hear air coming out
- Enjoy!
