AeroPress for one: three recipes that never fail

The AeroPress forgives almost everything, which makes it perfect for learning. Change one variable and taste the difference in two minutes.

Why it works

Our everyday recipe is simple: 15 grams, water at 90 °C, a gentle stir and a slow press. For a stronger cup, use less water and add hot water at the end.

Step by step

  1. Classic: 15 g, 220 g of water, press at 1:30.
  2. Inverted: steep for 2 minutes, flip and press.
  3. Bypass: brew strong with 120 g, add 100 g of hot water.
