Nectar in your cup
This brewing method works best to bring the boozy-nectary sweetness from natural (or) honey-processed coffees. In fact, as someone who is fairly new to brewing coffee at home, it was while using this method that I first tasted the 'nectary-sweetness' in coffee and discovered it was way different from the 'sugary-sweetness' that I usually associated the taste of 'sweetness' to.
Dialing it in
No two coffees are the same; thus, there is room for adjustment when dialing in using this method. I've found the adjustment is best done in Grind Size and Brew Time while keeping the water temperature, amount of coffee, and the amount of water constant.
📝 Recipe Notes:
- Grind size: Medium-fine, 30 clicks in my Kingrinder K6
- Beans: Light roasts with bright, fruity/flower notes (works best with natural/honey processed)

- Meanwhile, wet the paper filter
- After 30s, pour the remaining 150g of water and attach the filter cap
- Gently invert the AeroPress along with a cup. Look for any stuck grounds to the walls and get rid of them by swirling the water inside

- Enjoy!
