There are already hundreds of recipes online, many with a cult like following. Checkout some of the winning recipes from the World Aeropress Competitions, featuring advanced techniques like "the turbulent wiggle".
After hundreds of experiments of my own, I've abandoned the inverted method for what I call the Turbo Press. This is my favourite way to extract a large cup of coffee with a full bold flavour.
The Turbo Press
- Get a medium to large cup, with a volume of roughly 1.5 Aeropress chambers.
- Fire up the kettle, and freshly grind your beans for a paper filter. In step 8, you should have to push down with the force of an enraged child. If it's too easy, grind finer.
- Wet a paper filter and place it in the Aeropress over your cup. Fill with one heaping Aeropress scoop, and turbulently wiggle your Aeropress so the grinds are flat.
Heaping scoop, fine-ish grind. |
