What’s your favorite AeroPress recipe?

3 years ago by moosh to c/coffee

I usually do the Hoffmann method if I’m making it for myself and the default recipe if making for my wife and I but the last couple days I’ve mixed it up and tried out the inverted method:

Time: 1min 30sec

  • Use a medium-fine grind.
  • Put the plunger to the “bottom” (top while inverted) of the 3 so I’ll get a half cup’s worth of infusion
  • add my grounds, 2 AeroPress scoops (22-26oz depending on roast and moisture content)
  • get water to boiling (if a light roast)
  • add enough water to make a paste, do a 30 second bloom
  • add more water until it’s 2/3 full. Stir for 10 sec
  • add water until it’s almost to the top and wait until the timer gets up to 1:15. While waiting, wet the filter and get the top ready
  • give it another few stirs at 1:15 then top off until the water is at the top
  • at 1:30, cap and press. I like to do it into a Pyrex measuring cup.
  • this should yield 1/2 cup of brew (4oz). I then add water up to the 1 cup mark (8oz line) and put 1/2 into the first mug. I fill it up again until the 1 cup and pour that into the second. Add another 1/2 cup of hot water to the first mug and presto, you have two delicious 8oz mugs of coffee!

When I first got the Aeropress I experimented a bit. All good fun, but in the end I have settled on following basically Hoffmann's recipe. It is easy to remember, easy to perform, and produces consistently yummy results.

Instead of spending time finding other recipes, I would focus on finding better coffee beans.

I buy what I think are good beans. I only buy whole beans, grind at home, and tend to get ones that are locally roasted.
