Getting the Most from Your AeroPress
Coffee and Espresso Maker
Congratulations! As the owner of an
AeroPress coffee maker, you have in your
hands a simple device for making the best
coffee or espresso you’ve ever tasted.
It’s easy and fun.
For a quick start, watch a video on the
AeroPress product page of our web site,

Brewing a Double-Espresso, a 10 Ounce
Mug of American Coffee, or a Latte:
1
Remove the
plunger and
the cap from
the chamber.
2
Put a filter in
the cap and
twist it onto the
chamber.
3
Stand the chamber
on a sturdy mug.
4
Put two AeroPress
scoops of fine-drip grind
coffee into the chamber.
5
Pour hot water slowly
into the chamber
up to the number 2.
Use 175
o
F (80
o
C)
water for the very
best taste.
6
Mix the water and
coffee with the stirrer
for about 10 seconds.
7
Wet the rubber seal
and insert the plunger
into the chamber.
Gently press down about
a quarter of an inch and
maintain that pressure for
about 20 to 30 seconds
until the plunger bottoms
on the coffee. Gentle
pressure is the key to easy
AeroPressing.
8
You've just made
a double espresso.
For American coffee,
top-off the mug with
hot water. For a latte,
top-off the mug with
hot milk.
Cleanup and Storage:
Remove the cap and
set it aside. Push the
plunger to eject the
"puck" of spent grounds
into the trash (or save for
compost or plant food.)
Rinse and/or brush away any
grounds left on the rubber
seal. The seal has already
wiped your chamber clean,
so no further cleanup
is needed.
Always eject the puck right after
brewing and store your AeroPress
with the plunger pushed all the way
through or completely removed.
Storing the seal uncompressed will
keep your seal air-tight for years.
