The AEROPRESS consist of a piston and a cylinder and is made of plastic. The paper filter is put at the end of the cylinder.
For the utility you need:
– First boiling water temperature 90/92 ° C
– Coffee / water ratio 1/15
– Extraction time varies between 80 and 140 seconds
– Grain size 500/900 micrometers
First extraction method:
Add the paper filter and wet the filter and cylinder with hot water to remove the scents of the paper. Place the aeropress on a jug, put the coffee in the cylinder, add the hot water and mix with a small spoon. Make an infusion of one minute, engage the piston and press for twenty seconds without reaching the end otherwise the drink becomes too bitter. With the piston we exert a pressure of about 2.2 bar.
Second extraction method:the piston is engaged and we turn the aeropress upside down, add the coffee, pour in the hot water and then mix with a small spoon. In this way the percolation does not start and we can decide the infusion time. Then the filter is mounted, the aeropress is turned upside down, put it on a pitcher and press for 20 seconds without reaching the bottom.Add some sugar and ENJOY IT !!
