This recipe is the closest I’ve come to creating a cup that looks and tastes like espresso—and it even has crema\! 

Using a Prismo, two wet paper filters, dark roast coffee, and a slightly coarser espresso grind \(8 clicks on the Timemore C3\), this method delivers a bold and rich flavour. Brewed with boiling water, the coffee isn’t very hot, so it’s best enjoyed right after brewing.

This AeroPress recipe is as close to espresso as it gets, offering bold flavours and a satisfying crema.

Closest thing to Espresso with Prismo

"Your Aeropress can make actual espresso \- a concentrated, syrupy delight. But how? How can a small amount of water extract all the coffee goodness without the intense pressure of an espresso machine? Well, my friend, it's all about being crafty, putting in a little effort, and guess what \- zero expense\! If you've got an Aeropress and a decent grinder, you've got everything you need. Let's do this right now, today."

And voila\! You'll be treated to a vibrant, dense, and rich brew that will have your taste buds dancing. Cheers to that\!

In their video, [link to video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AM4fEjXIkA), you'll even find a cool DIY modification for the Cafelat Robot screen, taking your Aeropress game to the next level.

Here are some notes and tips to keep in mind:

- Cut two paper filters to fit inside the Aeropress chamber. Fold them a couple of times and use a circular template to help you. You can rinse and reuse these two auxiliary filters.
- Slightly wet your beans before grinding to reduce clumps and the coffee sticking to your grinder.
- Grind in the range suitable for espresso. Check out the [Honest Coffee Guide grind size chart](https://honestcoffeeguide.com/coffee-grind-size-chart/) for your grinder's sweet spot.
- When grinding, feed the beans into your grinder slowly to decrease particle size dispersion and reduce the fines. This is particularly important if your grinder isn't specifically designed for espresso, otherwise, clogging may occur. If you're using a hand grinder, tilt it sideways while grinding.
- Shake the grounds to distribute them evenly. Just pour them into the chamber, cover it, and give it a good shake.
- Keep a constant pressure on the piston while pressing.

Now, here's a heads up: you won't get any foam or crema. But don't worry, the magical flavor will make up for it.

So, grab your Aeropress and let's unlock the espresso\-like wonders it holds\! Enjoy the journey to coffee nirvana.

The Wired Gourmet's recipe to simulate espresso with the AeroPress.

Propreantepenultimate AeroPress Technique

A very basic AeroPress espresso recipe for pulling bigger ratios like a Lungo shot. This recipe works great for light and medium roast to get espresso style coffee with a gentle acidity.

**📝 Recipe Notes:**

- Filter: 2 paper filters, rinsed

Lungo Espresso 

The all new Comandante C40 Nitro Blade is an amazing precision grinding instrument. The advanced burr design and precision gives a consistent level of grind beyond expectations.

The burrs are a piece of art. Using high alloy and high nitrogen stainless steel the burrs are made on from one block of steel. Using german engineering of the highest order, the burrs are extremely tough, sharp, highly wear resistant and high degree of edge retention.

The centre axel is fixed and supported by two micro ball bearings for better distribution of force and grinding action.

The wooden knob is hand made from 100% natural oak wood. Gives a comfortable feel when grinding. Is finished with Wax Oil.

All plastic parts are made Tritan BPA free plastic.

The grind selection dial is a three legged star with click indentations to hold your chosen grind setting. Turn clockwise for finer grind and anti clockwise for coarser grind.

Its comes with 2 jars. One dark coloured glass jar with lid and one clear glass jar.

Prismo is a pressure actuated valve designed to be used with the AeroPress® Coffee Maker. 

This attachment allows for a buildup of pressure to create espresso-style coffee and creates a no drip seal for a full immersion brew. The reusable 70 micron etched filter stops sludge in its tracks and eliminates the need for paper filters.  The valve’s small aperture also fits directly over an espresso shot glass.

**Note:**  

Please do not brew with Prismo over thin glass vessels. Prismo creates a great deal of pressure, and glass is fragile!

Hario Drip Scales are powerful tools in the coffee lover’s arsenal. This scale offers you full control over the amount of ingredients you use, enabling you to make coffee that is consistently delicious and precisely brewed.

Without a scale, you’re left guessing about how much coffee or water to use, but this Hario scale puts those doubts and inconsistencies to rest. The scale can read in 0.1 increments for the first 200g, then reads every 0.5g from then on. This razor precision makes the scale suitable for manual coffee brewing methods, as well as espresso.

Hario’s Drip Scale doesn’t just measure your ingredients – it measures time. The built-in timer is easily started and stopped, giving you another tool to brew your coffee with consistency and precision.

This scale is very simple to use, large enough to accommodate brewers of all sizes, continues to function perfectly when paired with Hario Drip Stand. The device is powered by 2 AAA batteries and shuts off automatically after five minutes to preserve power. The body is made from a durable ABS resin that’s water resistant and visually striking.

If you like delicious coffee brewed your way, you’ll love the Hario Drip Scales.

The discovery of espresso excellence: with this AeroPress recipe, I've achieved a flavor profile remarkably close to that of a traditional portafilter espresso, complete with a lush crema. The key is in the choice of coffee beans. I prefer dark roasts like Tre Forze or Berserk. 

As for grind consistency, I trust my Comandante C40 MK4, which is set at 8 or 9 clicks. And if you're aiming for an even finer setting, the red clicks at around 8.5 might be just the ticket.

Hello, my name is Marek and I am from the Czech Republic. My English is not very good, so hopefully it will be understandable :\). 

The recipe is purely experimental. I am a hobbyist and new to using an AeroPress and drinking filtered coffee. I wanted to try some espresso\-like recipe. For this recipe, I used Ethiopia Sidamo coffee from a roaster in the Czech Republic. I enjoyed the coffee using this recipe so I decided to share it.

It is a standard recipe uusing 14 grams of coffee, 60 ml/85 degrees water and fast pressure. Quick and short.

An interesting thing I've tried here is using a combination of a paper and metal filters. I used the standard method of inserting a metal filter between two paper filters. It occurred to me that if I use a combination of paper and metal filter, I can get a little more pressure through the filters. The reason why the metal filter is in the middle is that the AeroPress is easier to clean. When cleaning, you first tear off the paper filter from the bottom, then take a clean metal filter and finally push the rest into the trash.

Enjoy\!

I've been searching/experimenting for a long time to have a espresso/ristretto\-like cup. Either to drink or to make milk\-based recipes for my loved ones.

I found this recipe while browsing reddit and told myself : "wow this is the one". [https://www.reddit.com/r/AeroPress/comments/zs2co8/1225\_ratio\_im\_never\_going\_back\_to\_espresso/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AeroPress/comments/zs2co8/1225_ratio_im_never_going_back_to_espresso/)

A﻿s per the post on reddit:

_"I've tried it with multiple coffee beans and the only dial I had to do was the water temperature. Some dark roasts work better with even lower than 80C, while light\-medium roasts might need boiling water._

_Never in my life I've had such a good double ristretto. I was considering buying a Flair Pro, but damn, this Aeropress can do some magic. I might reconsider :\)\)"_

I made this recipe for Béla, the CEO who is leaving our company and one of my best friends. As a farewell gift, I chose an AeroPress Go so he could always have a good coffee wherever he went.

_"Béla, kívánom neked, hogy amikor ezt a kávét iszod,
akkor jussank eszedbe az ebéd utáni kávézásaink gondtalan pillanatai\!"_

With this recipe, you can make a delicious, light,
espresso\-like coffee \(2 espresso cups\).

Vietnamese iced coffee \(Cà Phê Sữa Đá\) is known for its sweetness and complexity from its one secret ingredient: sweetened condensed milk.

This recipe recommends using a dark roast coffee with a smoky characteristic \(the author uses Hayes Valley Espresso from Blue Bottle\).

Try to use a brand of condensed milk from an Asian supermarket \(e.g. Longevity Sweetened Condensed Milk\).

Recreating the famous Vietnamese iced coffee with an AeroPress is easier than you think!

Whilst trying some espresso\-style AeroPress recipes I casually found a nice Moka\-pot style coffee, which is really quite indistinguishable from a good Moka Pot technique. It's not burned, which is good, since in Italy nearly everyone burns its coffee with a Moka Pot, making it quite bitter.

The coffee is quite strong \(but not like espresso, obv\) and I think, with some tinkering, it could be made more enjoyable.

- This recipe works for 2 doses. I think you can make more servings \(max 4, or 3 on an AeroPress go\) by adding half a spoon of coffee for every serving.
- You may also use a Moka filter or a shower screen, but it's not strictly needed

- The best cost\-effective choice\-TIMEMORE C2 Grinder. Stainless steel burr\-CNC machining. Double bearing central axis positioning\-uniform grinding particles. Burr size 38mm\-efficient grinding of coffee beans.
- Convenient to carry: The body weighs 430g while maintaining a lightweight and moderate sense of weight and luxury. It is ideal not only for home use but also for carrying outdoors or travelling.
- Roughness adjustment function: Adjustable in about 36 steps. You can easily grind the desired roughness from fine to coarse with the adjustment nut.
- Excellent Burr: The milling blade with 55\-58HRC hardness in 5\-axis CNC machining realizes uniform grinding with almost no excessively coarse grains. At the same time, the generation of fine powder is minimized.
- Labour\-saving performance: The smoother movement is realized as the handle keeps turning for a while even if you release your hand due to the built\-in bearing. In addition, a compact body of 52 mm is easy to grasp even for small hands. and it is possible to grind lightly with very little force.

I did in no way, shape or form invent this recipe nor do I take any credit. This is just a fusion of different recipes I've tried and what has gotten me the results I was looking for.

It's truly simple. Two paper filters \- one under the grounds, one on top of the grounds. No stirring is needed. _Press as hard as you can_. Voilà\!

**P\.S.** The water temperature range is for the different levels of roast \- 80°C for very dark roast, and then the lighter the roast, the higher the temperature.

**Pro tip:** If it is too hard to plunge, coarsen up the grounds.

I just like these BIG espresso styled shots with a nice crema on top. The recipe is similar to the recommended Fellow Prismo recipe but uses the double amount of water and coffee. I use 13 clicks on the Commandante and it works well for me. 

I would love to get your feedback on this recipe, so please leave a comment below.

Big AeroPress espresso with a nice crema using a Fellow Prismo.

Fellow Prismo HUGE Espresso-style Shot

My first shots with Prismo were a bit too bitter and sludgy. After a few tweaks, I came with a clean and thick cup. 

I use a medium\-dark roast, so the aromatic profile is closer to cocoa, with relatively low acidity. You can try medium and light roasts for a zesty shot\!

P\.S: You'll need to use the Fellow Prismo metal filter AND the Aeropress paper filter for this recipe.

After several recipes of "concentrated coffee" with AeroPress trying to make a quasi\-espresso, I was not wholly satisfied. Based on my two favourites \([Tim Wendelboe's](https://aeroprecipe.com/recipes/tim-wendelboe) and [James Hoffmann's](https://aeroprecipe.com/recipes/james-hoffmann)\) I decided to make my own, using the quarantine time to improve it everyday I was at home.

This recipe can be easily adapted for darker or lighter roasts by adjusting the grind size: Finer for lighter roast, eg. 4 clicks on a Hario; Coarser for darker roasts, eg. 8 clicks on a Hario. This way it does not over/under extract.

**The result is an AeroPress espresso recipe that:**

- Does not use a lot of coffee grounds
- Is easy to remember
- Produces enough coffee for an expresso, or a latte
- Can be adapted to tastes and different roasts

An easy to remember AeroPress espresso recipe.

Long AeroPress Espresso Shot

James Hoffmann shares a video on scratching that itch for milk drinks at home.

This is the AeroPress recipe he used for the "espresso" component.

Use water that is pretty much right off the boil. Use a grind that is slightly coarser than espresso, but finer than drip \(James describes it as between powdered sugar and salt\).

It's also worth noting, for this AeroPress recipe you want every gram of liquid, so please press right through until after the bubbling hiss.

James Hoffmann's AeroPress recipe for making a good milk based coffee at home.

James Hoffmann

Using a modified Aeropress plunger seal, I was able to get a rich, syrupy, esspresso-like flavor. Other Aeropress espresso recipes have similar strength to espresso, but seem to lack the complexity of a real shot. The donut seal is used to maintain the tamp when pouring water into the cylinder, and ensure complete separation of water and grounds until you begin pressing.

Keep in mind your Aeropress still needs a plunger seal on the end. So buy a new one and replace the old seal on your plunger, so you can modify the old seal.

This recipe uses a metal filter in the Aeropress cap and a paper seal above the grounds and below the donut seal.

Experiment with the grind, tamp, and water amount to get your desired strength and extraction. These parameters will also determine how much force you need to apply, and/or how long the extraction takes.

You will have to push quite a bit harder than a normal Aeropress recipe, so make sure your cup is sturdy (I use a stainless mug) and on a stable surface. Be careful when pressing so the cylinder and cup do not fly out.

**To modify the plunger seal**: Using an Exacto knife, or other sharp blade, cut a round opening in the center of the seal. Leave the flared outside edge intact. The opening in the center should be large enough to prevent channeling water through the center of the puck, without leaving the seal too thin/flexible to stay in place. Be careful not to cut yourself!

**Flavor notes**

“While the volume of the drink is low I appreciate the almost espresso-like extraction with the heavy body and oily consistency of pulling from a machine. If you're going for a quick punch of caffeine the Aeropress is a joyous beverage creator.”

**Suggested Coffee**

“Obviously coffee that's the freshest roast date possible, de-gassed about 4 days. My personal preference is a single origin that is flavorful at a City+ to Full City. Lighter roasted coffee's are great fun with the Aeropress but I find the taste goes a little sour for my liking.”

Prismo is an AeroPress® attachment that unlocks espresso-style coffee without an espresso machine. Apart from espresso-style coffee, Prismo also opens up a whole new world of recipes and coffee nerding. You can even switch up your regular ol’ coffee routine by using Prismo for a full immersion brew.

**How is this different than normal AeroPress® coffee using the inversion method?**

One of Prismo’s coffee superpowers is its “No Drip Seal”. Prismo creates a perfect seal inside the AeroPress chamber, so once you load in your coffee and grinds, there’s no worries about coffee leaking out the bottom. Play with different grind sizes and immersion times to coax out the best flavor from your favorite beans. Plus, once your coffee is done, when you press through Prismo’s Pressure Actuated Valve, the coffee is aerated as it passes through. Resulting in less bitterness and a smoother, creamier cup.

Prismo is known for making espresso but can also make a full immersion brew with your AeroPress.

Prismo Full Immersion Brew

This recipe produces an almost espresso-like drink that tastes great on its own, but opens up very nicely when diluted.

High Dose, low water, lots of agitation - if you use the right kind of bean this recipe will hopefully produce a full bodied, round, super sweet and super tangy coffee.

How to make Espresso with an Aeropress \- there are many different opinions on how best to do this. I've tried all of them. The most important concept when it comes to espresso is pressure, and there's only one way to make pressure with an Aeropress.

The method I use for making an 'espresso' with the Aeropress is simple but leaves room for adjustments and experimentation. How long you 'pre\-infuse' \(or bloom\) your coffee will have an impact. Whether you decide to do this inverted or not will have an impact. Whether you use a metal screen or not will have an impact. In the end, the most important thing is that you are using high pressure and a fine grind.

This AeroPress recipe uses a paper filter, but I urge you to try with a metal filter too if you have one.

1\)Always grind your coffee beans just before you make your coffee,&#x20;

2\)keep your coffee beans fresh within an airtight container.&#x20;

Cappuccino

This recipe is a slight twist on James Hoffmann’s method, incorporating an additional bloom and an extended press. The extra extraction enhances the fruity notes, making them shine even more. 

I used a fruity, fermented Caturra from Nomad with distinct mango notes, which pairs beautifully with this approach. This is also my go version of Aeropress.

This recipe tweaks Hoffmann’s technique with extra extraction, making fruity coffees shine even more.

Tetsu Kasuya’s Devil Recipe for the Hario Switch has been my go\-to lately, and I wondered how well it would translate to the AeroPress. After dusting mine off and giving it a try, I was surprised by the outstanding results. This adaptation stays almost identical to the Hario Switch version, with only minor tweaks. 

The method utilises the AeroPress as a flat\-bottom brewer in the first stage, then cools the water to 170°F/ 77°C for a traditional immersion and plunge in the second stage.

Tetsu Kasuya's Devil/God Hario Switch recipe ported over to AeroPress.

For the AeroPress XL, use 32g of coffee to 460g of water, aiming to finish the plunge at 1:50. 

To fully experience the flavours of freshly roasted coffee, ensure you have a quality burr grinder, a scale, a timer, and clean, filtered water. These essentials will help you achieve a balanced and consistent brew.

A well-balanced and flavourful cup, with expert tips from Coffee Collective.

Coffee Collective Brew Guide

Occasionally I will use a metal filter and/or the flow control cap. The process always seems to result in a very nice cup of coffee, although changing these variables obviously makes a big difference in flavor.

Now, I am by no means a coffee expert but here's what I've discovered based on my experiences:

- Paper filter & standard cap \- Sweeter, fruitier flavor with smooth mouthfeel
- Paper filter & flow control cap \- Heightened dark chocolate flavor, a bit more of a bite than with the standard cap, but still pretty smooth overall.
- Metal filter & standard cap \- Usually slightly acidic \(but not overly so\), with a much sharper overall flavor.
- Metal filter & flow control cap \- This combination results in the most dark chocolate\-like flavor, similar to the previous point but without nearly as much acidity.

I enjoy all of these combinations, but the two I most regularly make would be the paper filter & standard cap and the Metal filter & flow control cap.

My go-to recipe for a perfect morning coffee, plus tips for using different filter and cap combinations.

My Go-To Cup (and Tips for Different Filter/Cap Combinations)

Tip 1: Press Slower:

- A slow press yields a clean, clear brew with a better mouthfeel compared to a fast press, which results in a thicker but harsher cup.
- A fast, hard press introduces colloids and undissolved compounds, leading to bitterness and rough texture.
- Let the coffee bed act as a natural filter to retain undesirable compounds.

Tip 2: Bloom Your Coffee:

- Blooming doesn't matter as much if you are doing the inverted method.
- However, when you are brewing in a typical way, this ensures even saturation, leading to more efficient extraction and a more flavorful brew. Without blooming, under\-extracted liquid can drip into the cup, diluting the flavor.
- When you are doing the bloom, some minimal amount of water will drip through, but since the bed absorbs twice its weight in water.
- Add a small amount of water to wet the coffee grounds \(just enough to saturate them fully\). Allow the coffee to bloom for **45 seconds** before adding the rest of the water.

Tip 3: Adjust Grind Size:

- Fine grind can result in uneven flow, astringency, and harsh flavors
- Start with a **coarser grind**, closer to French press or pour\-over grind size. Then move finer until you find a sweet spot.
- With a coarser grind, just let the brew sit longer.

Bonus advice:

- Using very hot water \(95–100°C\) increases bitterness and harshness.
- Lance personally never goes pass 95°C
- For **light roasts**, use water at ~90–92°C.
- For **medium roasts**, use ~88°C.
- For **dark roasts**, use ~82–84°C.

The whole point is to reduce bitterness, harshness, and reduce astringency

Lance offered 3 tips about brewing with the AeroPress, including introducing his new recipe.

This strong and refreshing iced latte highlights bold coffee flavours with the AeroPress, letting you customise the strength and milk for your perfect brew.

This strong and refreshing iced latte is an AeroPress creation that lets the coffee shine through.

Strong and Rich Iced Latte 

This technique delivers a flavourful cup of coffee. While it’s a latte, it highlights the coffee’s unique flavour notes, unlike typical lattes where milk often masks the coffee’s taste.

Use finely ground coffee \(Timemore C3, 10 clicks\). If the result is too strong or over\-extracted, try 12 clicks. The final cup may be quite strong; adjust by adding more milk or reducing the coffee dosage if needed.

**📝 Recipe Notes:**

- Timemore C3, 10\-12 clicks
- 18\-20g of beans depends on your taste
- 2 rinsed paper filters
- Need ice and 100\-140ml of milk
- Syrup is optional

T﻿his is the winning AeroPress recipe by Jibbi Little of Australia from the 2022 World AeroPress Championships, held in Canada.

T﻿here are a couple of new techniques from 22's [WAC](https://www.instagram.com/aero.press/) winning recipe that you will find interesting.

Firstly, Jibbi does a double grind for her beans. The first grind is in a very coarse setting s﻿o you can blow out the silver skins easily. After the second grind, she also sifted out the fines to reduce the bitterness that often comes from over\-extracted fines grounds.

S﻿econdly, she used 4 iced chilling balls to cool down the brew at the pressing phase. This will give you a smooth mouthfeel.

📝 **Recipe Notes:**

- D﻿ouble grind: 1st grind very coarse with Timemore; 2nd grind setting 4 with Kinu Classic \(around medium\-fine\); If you use washed process, grind slightly finer
- B﻿low out the silver skins after the 1st grind
- S﻿ift out fines \(100\-200 microns\) if you can
- J﻿ibbi used  [Perfect Coffee Water](https://www.instagram.com/perfectcoffeewater/) in the competition
- 1﻿ rinsed paper filter
- U﻿se a spoon with a small bowl to stir
- B﻿ypass to 150g
- Aim for TDS of 1.3 – 1.35
- _Optional: use extract chilled ice balls \(3 at the bottom and 1 on top, a total of 4\). It will give you a smooth mouthfeel. **Use this before the bypass**_

Take your AeroPress brewing up a notch with the all new version of the Aesir filters!  

The original Aesir filters were developed as Eldric Kuzma was preparing for the 2016 Canadian AeroPress Championship.

The result of extensive testing of a range of types of paper to find one that makes the best possible cup of coffee, these new filters have a small pore size that makes for a full-bodied cup with less sediment, giving you a noticeably cleaner and more vibrant coffee.

This is the 2021 [World AeroPress Champion](https://www.worldaeropresschampionship.com) Recipe by Tuomas Merikanto of Finland. Congratulations Tuomas\!

📍This recipe uses **two rinsed paper filters**;

Tuomas mentioned a few key points about his recipe on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2ZRPFtaAd/). If you want to try this recipe at home it will be helpful to read the following tips first:

> "I just wanna clarify a few things about the recipe so everyone can get hands\-on with it\! 😎
> 
> 1\. Water profile\! 💦
> 
> Because of the nature of this year's competition, everyone used distilled water with @thirdwavewater minerals creating their own water profile. There were 14 different variations to choose from and I was the only one who used 100% espresso profile. I think this is one of the biggest reasons why my brew stood out.
> 
> Of course, I tried different variations and I think \(especially in this competition coffee\) this water profile gave the most balanced taste of sour and sweet, which I was going for. So give it a try and see how it changes the whole coffee versus to regular tap water\!
> 
> 2\. Grind size\! ✨
> 
> This was a pain in the arse when submitting the recipe. When I were creating my recipe I was using **@comandantegrinder \(27 clicks is what I used\!\)** to get the most precise grind size. Yes, we got these templates where you can see the grind size from 0 to 9 of the coffee grinded with @macapgrinders . But still, it was very difficult to choose the right one. So it was quite a rough guess. 
> 
> Even though, I think the correct grind size is one the most important factors in the recipe\!
> 
> 3\.WAC coffee\! ☕️
> 
> This awesome and complex coffee from @bureaux.coffee was really light roasted. When I first tried it, I brewed it with my Finnish Championship recipe. It came out with this not\-so\-pleasant sour taste which you can compare to tannins in red wine. How to get that astrigency off of the brew there are few things to bear in mind. Water temperature, grind size and agitation. Everything you can find from my Finnish AP recipe.
> 
> So what comes to this WAC recipe, I found the best balance in the other extremity \- medium\+ coarse grind, low water temperature and little agitation.
> 
> When making this brew, be gentle with it. Hope you guys enjoy\! ❤️
