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 (100°C) and stir 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!

It's a goodbye for now for the Colombian filter as we welcome the fresh crop from Guatemala and with it Blanca Herrera's El Coyego. It's the second year we've sourced this coffee and it doesn't disappoint: Expect a lively cup of sunshine - chocolate covered tart cherries and a juicy sweetness. A perfect cup for your everyday morning filter or when you're treating yourself to some subtle and hidden complexity.
