How to Brew with the AeroPress Original

1. Heat fresh water to approximately 185°F (85°C).
2. Place a Standard AeroPress paper filter inside the included filter cap and twist it securely onto the brewing chamber.
3. Position the chamber upright on a sturdy mug. Do not use thin or delicate glassware.
4. Add one heaping scoop (approximately 16–18 g) of medium-fine ground coffee. Gently shake to level the grounds.
5. Slowly pour hot water into the chamber until it reaches the number 4 marking. Stir gently for approximately 3 seconds.
6. Insert the plunger approximately ½ inch (1.3 cm) into the chamber, then pull upward slightly to create a seal. Allow the coffee to steep for approximately 30 seconds.
7. Press the plunger down slowly using gentle, steady pressure until the hissing sound finishes.
8. Remove the AeroPress from your mug. Allow the filter cap to cool before removing it.
9. Hold the AeroPress over a trash bin and press the plunger through to eject the used coffee grounds and filter.
10. Rinse the brewing chamber, plunger seal, and filter cap with water. Store with the silicone seal pushed fully through the chamber to help maintain its shape.

Explore More Brewing Possibilities

For greater recipe flexibility, consider adding the AeroPress Flow Control Filter Cap, sold separately.

Its pressure-actuated valve prevents drip-through until pressing begins, allowing longer steep times and greater control over extraction. This makes it especially useful for extended cold brew recipes, espresso-style concentrates, and recipes designed to create espresso-like crema.

Safety Note

Always use the AeroPress in its upright position on a sturdy mug. The manufacturer discourages inverted brewing because of the risk of tipping and burns from hot liquid.
