Compact, clever, and kind of unstoppable: the Aeropress doesn’t look like much, but it can brew a cup that surprises even the most devoted coffee purist. It’s fast, it’s fun and it proves that great coffee doesn’t need a big machine: just good beans, hot water, and a little pressure.
At Crush and Rise, we love the Aeropress for its flexibility and its honesty. It puts the craft in your hands (literally).
Rinse the filter and lock it into the cap. Place the Aeropress over your mug.
Add your coffee to the chamber.
Start your timer. Pour all the water in one go, then stir for 10 seconds.
Insert the plunger, pull it up slightly to create a seal, and wait until the timer hits 1:30.
Press down slowly. You should finish around 2:00.
Remove, pop the puck, and enjoy.
