  1. Heat waterHeat your water to 175 to 180 °F. If you don’t have a variable temperature kettle or a thermometer, boil the water and let it sit for about two minutes.
  2. Rinse the FilterPlace the paper filter inside the cap and rinse it with hot water. This way, you eliminate the filter’s papery taste, and you seal it inside the cap.
  3. Weigh and grind beansUse a scale to measure about 16-17g of beans. Grind the coffee slightly coarser than filter.
  4. Mix Coffee and WaterPlace your cap on the AeroPress and dump the grounds in. Add half of the water.
  5. BloomGive it a few stirs and let the grounds bloom for 30 seconds. This allows the trapped gas to be released from the coffee and it helps the extraction.
  6. One more StirGive it one or two more gentle stirs, and fill the AeroPress almost to the top. Allow some room for the plunger.
  7. Steeping timeInsert the plunger in the brewing chamber, (just enough to seal it), and place the AeroPress on a cup, with the cap down.
  8. Filter ItPress down with steady pressure to the end. Enjoy.
