2022 World AeroPress Championship - 1st Place
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 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 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
