Bold, Bright & Balanced

Creator:Alex B

Designed to be consistently repeatable and to hopefully let you taste the full range of the coffee's tasting notes. I find it works with any type of coffee.

- The gentle agitation and ratio help to bring out the acidity of the coffee

- The longer total brew time brings a balanced sweetness

- The ratio results in a full body with a long finish

- The gentle/slow press helps to avoid any bitterness or astringency

Recipe details:

Standard
4:00
Paper Filter

Coffee:

18g
Any

Grind Settings:

Medium (2.0 on Knock Aergrind)

Water:

100°C / 212°F
200mL
  1. Place one paper filter on top of the Fellow Prismo's metal filter and screw onto AeroPress.
  2. Add 100g of 100°C water to AeroPress. Start timer and add 18g of coffee. Shake gently to level.
  3. Slowly pour remaining 100g of water. No need to re-boil the kettle.
  4. Put AeroPress paddle (or spoon) in centre and to the bottom. Stir very gently from front to back 8 times, going up from the bottom to the top.
  5. (One stir = going from front of AeroPress to the back. Avoid any circular stirs/motions: you want to end up with a flat bed of coffee.)
  6. Place plunger into top of AeroPress. Wait until 2 minutes.
  7. Press very gently for a further 2 minutes, for a total brew time of 4 minutes. Stop pressing as soon as you hear a hiss.
  8. Enjoy!
