Volumetric AeroPress® for 2 (great for travel or camping)

This recipe will brew about 300mls. Enough for a thermos or to share with a friend.  I wanted to achieve a good, even extraction with little fuss. I didn't want to fiddle with a scale, a precarious inverted method, or fumble with creating a vacuum.

It can be brewed with any type of kettle, perhaps a pot, or even a hot water spout at a gas station or convenience store.

What makes the AeroPress so unique and great apart from its ingenious design and compact size, is it creates a cup that is part percolation, part immersion, and part pressurized filter brew with no bypass or gimmicks resulting in a good, clean cup offering outstanding clarity and texture with ease. This technique is designed to be simple and efficient.

I like to use the included AeroPress coffee scoop. Yes I know, GASP volumetric measurement may be astounding to some but this technique is about ease and utilizing the tools provided not technical precision (though they both have their merits). I have found the AeroPress coffee scoop to yield ~17 g of speciality, light to medium roast coffee. Maybe less for darker roasts. If using a darker roast try grinding a bit coarser say medium fine or dropping the water temp.
