AeroPress recipes for light roast coffee
Light roasts are denser and harder to extract than darker roasts, so recipes written for them tend to use water just off the boil, a finer grind and a longer steep. Get it right and you are rewarded with clarity, fruit and sweetness.
Every recipe here was written with light roast coffee in mind. If your cup tastes sour or thin, grind a little finer or steep a little longer.
