  • The Aeropress never goes out of style, and it's become larger than life in coffee circles. Much like the V60 everyone needs to bring their own recipe to the table, and now I'm finally tossing my hat into the ring. This Aeropress recipe is the perfect all-rounder and will please even the most angsty barista.
    ↓THE RECIPE↓
    15g Coffee/250g water at 90 Celsius
    Grind coffee on medium-fine (25 on the Niche)
    Pour coffee into the Aeropress and shake to flatten
    Start the timer and pour 100g in roughly 10 seconds
    At 1:30 pour the remaining 150g in roughly 15 seconds
    Stir with a spoon in back and forth or side to side motions
    Place the piston to slow the dripping
    At 2:30 swirl and then begin pressing gently at a slow pace (30-45 seconds)
    Press through the hiss, finishing between 3:00-3:15

      I brew with a Hario Switch these days, so it isn't a true pourover. But I still pour the water in a circular motion in to out , like normal. More a force of habit . But when I reach the amount of water, I do nothing. After steeping I give it a little shake, and you see the color of the crust changing, breaking the crust. Then I hit the release. And a minute later the bed is always perfectly flat, with hardly anything sticking to the side. Every time again, without any hassle.

    This recipe changed the aeropress for me. I had given up on it completely due to wildly inconsistent brews. It has nailed every brew I've made from naturals, honeys and washed coffees.

    Perfect timing. I was watching James' ultimate technique again but wanted to go for 15gr to 250ml so this is the perfect recipe to try out after my poor Aeropress collecting dust. Finally some more "real life" recipes using less than 18gr of coffee with the Aeropress, in a way i'm glad they limited the amount of coffee you could use for some competitions.

    I've been using Hoffman's recipe for a while, but I've always had brews that come out a bit thin and tea-like, like how you've experienced. That said the cups were always good. I tried this recipe for the first time and I think it's much better for me for one reason: we're using the Areopress Go. I've always done the Hoffman method, but then adding water to dilute down to get a 15/250 ratio. The brilliance of your recipe is using the bloom phase to allow some of that water to drip down, making room for the second 150g pour. To me this is a significantly better fit for the smaller Aeropress go, and a much more scalable method for bigger cups of coffee too. I can easily see a normal Aeropress user getting well made 400g cups out of this. The one downside I'm seeing is that I'm getting a bit less clarity and slightly more bitterness, but I think that can be fixed with grind and agitation.

      @@chrisregas5045 Just bump up your ratio. 24g coffee, 150g bloom, 250g pour. Granted, there's two issues here: 1.) fresh coffee will gas off a lot, and might make 400g hard. I've managed to get 300g cups with fresh beans and a lot of foam on top. 2) Grind has a big effect the bloom phase draw down. Too fine and you may not be able to draw down in time for the pour phase which wouldn't leave you room for a big 400g cup, so, this would only work on the coarser end of the grind for this. All in all 400g would be much easier with dark/med roasts than light roasts.

    I really enjoyed your video!! I have had a Aeropress for a little over a year but I haven't had a lot of great cups of coffee. I think there are two big issues: first is finding coffee beans. Living in a community of 10,000 the three grocery stores in town (including Walmart) probably only have a total of 4 (name brand) of coffee beans. Everything else is ground coffee (lots of different coffees then). One grocery store has quite a few flavors of coffee beans but they are packaged under the store's name so it's difficult to know who supplies them with the coffee beans. I don't believe the store roasts their own coffee beans. My second problem is try to find the right grind. (I have the Cuisart). I will try your recipe though!!

    Tried this one this morning with a nice lightly roasted single origin Ethiopian with notes of strawberries and cream. Produced a well balanced cup that was probably just slightly underrepresented in sweetness for my taste. I did find that it improved nicely as it cooled down though.
    I used a setting of 22 on my Kinu M47 hand grinder and because I don’t have a temperature controlled kettle (don’t judge me! 😝) I boiled 1.5L of water and let it sit in the jug for 1:30 before starting the pour. I’m thinking that I might grind slightly finer for tomorrow and leave the boiled water for 1:00 to see if that extra heat brings out a bit more character from the beans.

    I did James Hoffman's recipe this morning and I'm going to do this one tomorrow. I usually do dark roast coffees but right now I have a medium roast Papua New Guinea. It looks on the light side of medium to me. I definitely needed something for a larger cup of coffee.

      @@TrudleR sorry I didn't get back. I am not great at describing nuances of coffee. I made this again this morning with a medium roast and i was able to taste the notes in the coffee description better than when I made it with french press. I don't have a fancy grinder so I have to estimate the grind size. How much of the water should drip through during the bloom? I know grind size affects that. I think i could stand it to be a bit richer (I'm wanting to say "thicker") to mimic the best pourover I've had from a local shop. I will try with a different roast maybe adjusting the temperature. The first time I brewed I was just off boiling and this recent time I kept it cooler.

    Love this! I needed a break from the pour over practice (fatigue?) so picked up the aeropress again. Super clean and clear cup of coffee. I used it on Brandywine co-fermented Stellar Collisions coffee with amazing results. I could taste the almond joy note right on the bag. It took a few brews to figure out I needed to grind finer (ended up at 10 on the barazta encore) but preferred 195 degrees farenheit vs a higher temp. For consistency, I stir front to back for 5 seconds with the aeropress paddle then 5 seconds side to side.

    Hi mate,
    First time I've ever made Aeropress and I chose to follow your recipe. I've been drinking pour over for some months now and finally acquired an Aeropress this afternoon.
    I used 15g of natural Nicaragua Miraflor and dialled in my Jx Pro to exactly 3 full rotations. I used water at 92° and brewed as per your guide and pressed for 40 seconds.
    After letting the coffee settle to 65°, I found that this grind setting was almost spot on, as the bright and floral notes of the coffee shone through. There was no initial bitterness, except a slight touch at the very end of the cup. This was an excellent first cup and is definitely a solid recipe.
    If anyone has a JX Pro, this recipe works well on 3 to 3-1 full rotations. I'll make a slight adjustment tomorrow, to see if it removes that slight bitterness at the end of the cup.
    Thanks for the guide, bro!

    I tried your method after using Hoffmans ultimate recipe. I used thr same coffee, Raphaels Roastery Black and Tan. Beans from 4 different regions, half medium and half dark roasted. I did both at 90c and they both produced a less than desirable cup. A good bit of astringency. Then dropped to 80c. Too dark and a very muddy mouth feel. I finally settled on 83c. In your recipe, I find it brings out more of the darker undertones of the roast, where as Hoffmans made it seem much brighter and sharper. Neither was bad... just different.

    Thank you for a good "to the point" video. One thing not mentioned in many coffee brewing videos that can really sway an extraction is the amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the water. James also did a very in-depth video on this important topic and it has a definite role in the extraction process. I used to use a Brita filter that would typically leave most behind, I recently swapped over to a ZeroWater filter that filters everything. I could certainly taste the difference and now lacks certain notes of flavor. It was interesting and I could really tell the difference.

  • @neniugrava

    I just tried this out and it makes a damn good cup. Thanks for the high-quality video and recipe!
    I have found it difficult to enjoy lighter roasts, and this has majorly improved the flavor I get from the latest light roast I am trying. I have been getting by for many years with darker roasts and winging the coffee and water amounts, and I think that has biased me away from the more finicky lighter roasts.
    I have been using Hoffman's recipe, and it is good but doesn't quite make enough volume for my tastes. I have tried his recipe with 15/250, but without the bloom I had trouble getting that much water in due to all of the bubbling - especially with freshly roasted coffee. The bloom seems to settle things down enough to make it easy to add the rest of the water, even for a prismo where you don't get any drainage of the bloom water.
    I use the prismo filter with a paper filter and it turned out great. I will have to try without the paper to see if I get the same effects as the other commenter with a prismo.

    This recommendation to bloom provides a very nice procedural advantage for getting a full 250g of water through the AeroPress without having to bypass, which I like very much. The resulting product in the cup is subjectively stronger to me than JH's ultimate ... the total brew time is likely the key difference.
    I'm using the same grind and temp as with JH's recipe but have not cupped side-by-side for any sort of objective comparison.

    • @romansupaman

    At last, last, last! The perfect Aeropress method and result. I feel like crying! I’ve joined groups that have suggested so many variables that work for them; I’ve tried the original way by Alan Adler that doesn’t work at all as the coffee just drips through at an alarming fast rate before you can do anything no matter what the grind. One member of a group I’m in does do a similar version to yours, but you have fine honed it.
    Some have said use 30g of coffee; but I’m sorry, if I want a treat of a really good coffee I don’t want to waste double of what the norm is 😅.
    Yes, this might take a couple of minutes longer than normal. But what a result! Now I don’t have to sell or give my practically antique version away.

    I'll give the recipe a try, on the V60 there's a point where a too long bloom creates astringency (for my taste), but with an aeropress more water will stay in the slurry so I guess those rules don't apply here. 😀
