How to brew AeroPress coffee
The AeroPress steeps coffee briefly, then a plunger presses it through a paper filter, for a clean, smooth cup in about 2 min. This follows the maker's own method, brewed straight into a mug.

Method
Put a paper filter in the filter cap, rinse it with hot water and twist the cap onto the chamber. Stand it upright on a sturdy mug.
Add 16–18 g of medium-fine coffee and shake it level.
Pour water at about 85 °C up to the 4 mark. Without a temperature-control kettle, just-boiled water is fine.
Stir gently for about 3 sec.
Insert the plunger and let it steep for 30 sec (60 sec for pre-ground medium coffee).
Press the plunger down gently and steadily, and stop when you hear a hiss.
Lift the AeroPress off and enjoy. For a lighter cup, add hot water to taste.
Tip: For iced coffee, keep 16–18 g of coffee but fill only to the 2 mark, press straight into a glass with about 100 g of ice and stir. If it tastes bitter, grind coarser; if weak, steep 30 sec longer.
