New To Coffee? Just buy an Aeropress.

People often ask me what I use to make coffee or what I reccomend for a starter brewer. Nothing, and I mean nothing, matches the Aeropress.

I have had mine since April of 2016, thousands of cups have gone through it and it has traveled with me everywhere.

It is:

  • Cheap
  • Portable
  • Practically indestructible
  • Simple to use
  • Makes excellent coffee
  • Super easy to clean

I would reccomend the Standard or the XL. The Go is too small and the Standard is more than portable enough.

A basic recipe that I like is:

  • 18 grams of coffee ground to slightly finer than pour over
  • Pour 40 grams of water evenly and leave for 40 seconds
  • Pour 180 grams of water and stir for three stirs
  • Put plunger in and pull up to create a seal
  • Push down slowly at 2:30 until around 3:00
  • Stop when you hear the hiss
