Rule of Thirds

This is a simple AeroPress recipe that I use for all coffees, generally as a benchmark for how they taste and what flavor notes they have.

I figured out this recipe while traveling this summer. I find that it's fairly quick, simple, and makes a really balanced cup!

Worth noting - I prefer to use double paper filters for this recipe.

Hope you enjoy!
