AeroPress XL - Clever Dripper Style Brew
The Aeropress XL is relatively new to the market. This recipe is designed to replicate the successful brews that I have had on the Clever Dripper. The Clever Dripper brews in a way that is halfway between a cafetiere and a V60-02.
The recipe is designed to act as a set of guidelines for successful brewing on the Aeropress XL. This is not a scientific Jonathan Gagne level brew, but can be tweaked according to taste.

Equipment:
- Add two papers to the Aeropress XL and rinse with hot water;
- Using the inverted method, add 30g of coffee into the brew chamber with the plunger inserted to the point just below the "8" mark on the outside of the brewer;
- Bloom using 90 grams of water for 30 seconds (stirring backwards and forwards 15-20 times - NOT a circular motion);
- Add the remaining 410 grams of water before 90 seconds;
- Stir the brew gently 15-20 times in a backwards and forwards motion to ensure that all grounds have been saturated;
- At the two minute mark, flip the brewer over using the dedicated carafe and press for approximately one minute;
- Stir the brewed coffee inside the carafe for 15-30 seconds (here you want a circular stir).
- Pour the brew into two mugs and enjoy!
