Aeropress Brewer
The Aeropress is one of the more innovative brewing designs in quite some time. It uses a plunger method along with a microfilter to allow for a rich extraction without sediment. The initially pressed brew is a concentrate, to be diluted with hot water to personal taste and extraction preferences. It can perform as a drip brewer, immersion-style, or even make a concentrated shot of espresso. The plastic design is BPA-free and made in the USA, compact and easy to transport.

steps to take

5
At 35 seconds, stir for 5 seconds.

At 45 seconds, place the plunger on top and slowly press for 1 minute.

When the coffee bed looks dry, and nearly all the water is pushed out, ease up on your pressure.
8
Finish and serve
Remove the Aeropress, open the cap, and push out the coffee grounds to clean up.
Brewing Tip TO REMEMBER
When pressing out the Aeropress, do not force the plunger down. A slow, steady press out is the key to a clean cup that is free of sediment. When nearing the end, and you can see coffee grounds, ease up on the pressure and stop when you hear a faint hissing noise. Do not push the plunger all the way down. There should be an air space of a couple inches between the plunger and the coffee.
