The Six-Eleven - A Kalita (non-wave) Style AeroPress
I played with the Aeropress to get the taste profile to match what I make in a Kalita Style 102 Ceramic dripper
On my 1ZPresso Jx grinder, I used a 1.6 grind setting, which I'd consider somewhere between fine and medium. Finer than pour-over, coarser than Espresso.
Water temp was 85 degrees Celsius.
I call it the Six-Eleven, because you take the grams of coffee ground, and the AeroPress concentrate will be grams x 6 and the total outcome will be grams x 11 (or 12 depending on flavour).

Paper Filter
Coffee:
18g
Medium Fine
Any coffee you'd normally use for filtered or AeroPress
Water:
85°C / 185°F
200mL
Equipment:
- Grind 18g of Coffee on a Medium-Fine setting and pour into AeroPress (you don't have to pre-wet the single filter).
- Pour 36g of 85 degree water and let sit for 30 seconds to bloom.
- Pour 72g of additional water and put in the plunger to let steep.
- Steep for 1 minute.
- Push the Aeropress Plunger so that it takes about 30 seconds to get to the bottom.
- Choose the final concentrate dilution by multiplying the total coffee grams by 11 (stronger) or by 12 (weaker).
- Subtract the final amount (eg. 18*11 = 198) by the amount already poured in (eg. 18*6 = 108)
- Pour the dilution amount (eg. by the calculation example above, it would be 90g).
- Enjoy!
