Make Espresso At Home | AeroPress

We've shared some of the most popular and classic brewing tools, such as the French Press and the Pour Over. But did you know there is a way to enjoy coffee that is so new it wasn't even around in the 1990's? Not to mention, it can actually produce a coffee that is reminiscent of espresso with the method we outline below!

The tool? The AeroPress!

Fun Facts About The AeroPress:

• The AeroPress was debuted at a coffee trade show in late 2005
• The AeroPress was invented by a Stanford Professor and inventor who was frustrated that there was no easy way to brew a single cup of coffee
• The inventor's biggest hit before the AeroPress was a frisbee

What You Need:

• Finely ground Joffrey's Italian Espresso or a dark roast
• Hot water
• Digital scale
• Grinder (if you purchase whole bean)
• AeroPress
• Your favorite coffee mug

The Process:

• Weigh out 17-21 grams of ground coffee
• Bring 200 grams of water to a boil
• Remove cap
• Insert paper filter into the cap
• Pour hot water slowly over the filter, to rinse it and allow it to adhere to the cap
• Assemble the AeroPress (make sure it is completely dry) and place on the scale with the numbers upside down
• Add your fine coffee grounds
• Pour 34 grams of hot water(double the amount of water to coffee), making sure the coffee is completely saturated
• Stir coffee grounds
• Use remainder of hot water to fill the chamber
• Wait 1 minute for grounds to steep
• Get ready to press down hard to push the water through the coffee.*
• Fasten the cap, flip over, place over your mug
