Let's do this right now, today."

Here are some notes and tips to keep in mind:

• Cut two paper filters to fit inside the Aeropress chamber. Fold them a couple of times and use a circular template to help you. You can rinse and reuse these two auxiliary filters.
• Slightly wet your beans before grinding to reduce clumps and the coffee sticking to your grinder.
• Grind in the range suitable for espresso. Check out the Honest Coffee Guide grind size chart for your grinder's sweet spot.
• When grinding, feed the beans into your grinder slowly to decrease particle size dispersion and reduce the fines. This is particularly important if your grinder isn't specifically designed for espresso, otherwise, clogging may occur. If you're using a hand grinder, tilt it sideways while grinding.
• Shake the grounds to distribute them evenly. Just pour them into the chamber, cover it, and give it a good shake.
• Keep a constant pressure on the piston while pressing.

Now, here's a heads up: you won't get any foam or crema. But don't worry, the magical flavor will make up for it.

So, grab your Aeropress and let's unlock the espresso-like wonders it holds! Enjoy the journey to coffee nirvana.
