AeroPress is a versatile coffee brewing device that can deliver a variety of coffee styles, from rich espresso-like shots to full-bodied black coffee. Here are three popular ways to brew with AeroPress to elevate your coffee experience at home.

1. Espresso Style Brew (Original Recipe)
   This is how AeroPress was initially designed to be used. It produces a concentrated, espresso-like coffee within a minute.

• Use 14g of finely ground coffee (espresso grind size).
• Add about 50-60ml of water heated to around 85-90°C.
• Stir for 10-15 seconds.
• Press gently to extract about 40ml of coffee.
• Drink as is for a strong shot or dilute with hot water to taste.

1. Classic Black Coffee
   For a bigger cup of smooth black coffee, this method brews about 200-250ml.

• Use 14g of medium-ground coffee.
• Add 200ml of 93°C water and stir quickly.
• Insert the plunger to prevent dripping and brew for about 1 minute.
• Remove the plunger, stir again, then press gently.
• Total brew time is about 90 seconds for a balanced cup.

1. Inverted Method
   This method offers more control by letting the coffee steep fully before pressing.

• Place the AeroPress upside down.
• Add 14g medium-ground coffee and 200ml of 93°C water.
• Let steep for 1 minute.
• Attach the filter cap and flip the AeroPress onto your cup.
• Press down slowly to extract the coffee.
• The steeping time can be adjusted to taste.
