Creator: Alan Adler Visit

During the filming of the Aeropress Movie, the crew got to hang out with Alan Adler (inventor of the Aeropress) in his home kitchen and make a brew on the Aeropress!

This is the recipe he used.

" I never made peace with the biterness of coffee... and I just really got to love coffee a lot more when I learned how to brew it without bitterness this way "

Alan doesn't measure the beans on a scale in this recipe, but we are estimating about 14gm per scoop.

Props to European Coffee Trip for sharing this video - if you haven't already, checkout the Aeropress Movie for the interesting history of the Aeropress.
