Ingredients

Before we dive into the recipe, let's take a look at the ingredients you'll need:
  • 17 grams of freshly ground coffee
  • 220ml of water
  • Aeropress
  • Paper filter
  • A timer
  • A scale
  • A kettle

Instructions

Now that you have all the ingredients, let's get started with our Aeropress recipe. Here's how to make the perfect cup of coffee:
  1. Start by heating the water to 94°C.
  2. While the water is heating up, place the paper filter in the Aeropress cap and rinse it with hot water to remove any paper taste.
  3. Grind 17 grams of coffee to a medium-fine grind.
  4. Place the Aeropress on top of a cup or mug and add the coffee grounds.
  5. Once the water has reached the correct temperature, pour 50ml of water over the coffee and let it bloom for 30 seconds. This will help release the flavors and aromas of the coffee.
  6. After 30 seconds, pour the remaining 170ml of water over the coffee in a circular motion.
  7. Stir the coffee for 10 seconds to ensure that all the coffee grounds are wet.
  8. Insert the plunger into the Aeropress, making sure that it forms a tight seal.
  9. Let the coffee steep for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
  10. After 1 minute and 30 seconds, slowly press the plunger down until you hear a hissing sound. This should take about 30 seconds.
  11. Remove the Aeropress from the cup and discard the used coffee grounds and paper filter.
  12. Your perfect cup of coffee is now ready to be enjoyed!

Nutrition

Coffee is known to be a low-calorie drink, with one cup of black coffee containing only 1-2 calories. However, the nutritional value of coffee can vary depending on the type of coffee bean and how it is brewed. In terms of caffeine, the Aeropress recipe we've shared uses 17 grams of coffee, which contains around 150-200mg of caffeine. This is similar to a standard cup of coffee from a coffee shop. Coffee is also known for its antioxidant properties, which can help protect cells from damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. However, it's important to note that consuming too much caffeine can have negative effects, such as causing jitters, anxiety, and insomnia.

Conclusion

The Aeropress is a great coffee-making device that allows you to make a rich and flavorful cup of coffee in just a few minutes. By following our Aeropress recipe, you can be sure that you'll get the perfect cup of coffee every time. Experiment with different coffee beans and grinds to find the flavor that suits you best.
