Step 2: Rinse filter and position brewer

Heat water to 205F. Place filter in designated basket and rinse with heated water. Connect piston and chamber and turn upside down.

Step 3: Grind coffee and finish Aeropress prep

Weigh 18g coffee and grind on a fine setting(should be like powder). Place the brewer on scale.

Step 4: Add coffee to brewer

Dump coffee in filter, and shake to level grounds. Zero the scale.

Step 5: Bloom coffee

Start a timer and pour 40g of water and swirl a few times aggressively to saturate entire bed of coffee.

Step 6: Begin brewing

Wait 30 seconds and then pour water to 100g within 10 seconds. Use stirrer to agitate the coffee from front to back 5 times.

Step 7: Attach filter and Invert

Immediately lock the pre-wetted filter to the main part, press out any air. Turn the brewer back to right side up, and place on top of whatever receiver you’ve chosen.

Step 8: Wait and then plunge

Let the coffee sit. At 1:45 begin pressing out coffee by leaning into it using your body weight, should take about 30 seconds.
