Aeropress Brew Guide
AeroPress is an immersion method where coffee and water steep together before being pressed through a filter. Start with a ratio of 75g coffee per litre of water. You control both grind size and contact time: a fine grind with a short steep of around 1 minute gives clean, bright results, while a coarser grind and longer contact time draws out different facets of the same coffee. Both work, and anything in between can yield balanced, expressive cups. Experimenting is encouraged.
