2015 World AeroPress Championship - 1st place
Championship
2015 WAC Winning AeroPress recipe by Lukas Zahradnik from Slovakia.
Lucas has provided us with some great, precise instructions for his championship winning AeroPress recipe, as quoted below (some of the detail below is missing from the video, so it's important to read):
" It is best to choose Kenya coffee for this recipe but all washed coffees with high density will work fine.
Grind size is a bit coarser than automatic espresso machine. Grind size is not a big deal cause people will have fixed other attributes so when you learn the recipe you should only vary grind size.
I use 79 celsius water, but it is very important that you preheat all AeroPress parts for least 15 seconds with 79 C temperature. "
It is also important to divide the extraction into 2 parts - this is outlined in the steps below.
