Step 1
To start, heat your water. If you don’t have a temperature control kettle, bring your kettle to the boil and wait for one minute until it has cooled to 95°C.

Step 2
While your water is heating, place the plunger section on to a flat surface with the rubber seal at the top.

Step 3
Slide the cylinder section over with the hexagon shape at the top so that the rubber seal is just inside.

Step 4
Pour the water into the cylinder, almost to the top.

Step 5
Next, we move onto the coffee. For AeroPress, use a filter or medium-fine grind. For the best results, we advise grinding coffee just before you brew it. The fresher the grind, the better the taste.

Step 6
Weigh your coffee, we recommend between 17g of coffee per 250ml water. How much you use is really down to your own preference. If you prefer a stronger brew, use more coffee. Likewise, if you prefer a cup that is not as strong, use less coffee.

Step 7
Add your ground coffee to the cylinder and gently agitate until the coffee is fully immersed. Leave to brew for 3 minutes.

Step 8
Wet a filter paper then place the paper into the lid and screw on the top of the cylinder.

Step 9
Turn the AeroPress over and gently plunge into a mug.
Espresso
Espresso produces a rich and concentrated shot with a thick, luxurious body. Flavours are amplified and leave a strong, lingering aftertaste.
Pour Over
Pour over is an incredibly versatile brew method, producing a clean and clear cup and giving great results for all different types and roasts of coffee.
