The AeroPress is a great way to make coffee at home, but it can tie up a large chunk of your precious morning.
Often with home coffee brewing the more precise you are following the recipes, the better the results.
Some mornings I find myself hyper-engaged and I pull out all the brewing stops, other times, I just want something that’s quick, easy and gives me a good bang for my time buck.
Time poor or not, these are my go-to BEST and QUICKEST recipes that will get you brewing less and drinking more.
All these methods we invert the AeroPress. You just flip the AeroPress so that the filter/cap side is facing up, with the plunger on the bottom.
The AeroPress has such a cult following that there’s a World Championship for it.
This is great for the rest of us as the judging is purely based on the beverage taste.
This is the 2018 AeroPress championship winning recipe-
Brewer position: Inverted
Filter type: Paper filter
Filter prep: Rinsed with hot water
Coffee weight: 34.9g
Grinder: Mahlkonig EK43S
Grind size: [fine] 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 89 10 [coarse]
Water weight: 200g
Type of water: Filtered water by Brita
Temperature: 85℃
This recipe is one I use when I’ve got a bit more prep time/wake up early enough.
Coffee: 20gm
Water: 150g @ 93°C
Brewer: Inverted
Filter: AeroPress Paper
Filter prep: Rinsed with hot water
Grind coffee: Medium Course
Everyone runs out of time.
Coffee: 1 heaped tablespoon
Water: Boil the kettle and let sit for 45 seconds- I put the kettle on just as I jump into the shower.
Brewer: Inverted
Filter: AeroPress Paper
Filter prep: Rinsed with hot water
Grind coffee: Medium Course
One of the AeroPress’ best attributes.
Undo the drain cap and pop out the used coffee puck into the bin.
Give the unit a good rinse under some hot water and let dry.
The AeroPress is a forgiving way to brew coffee. It does reward those that invest a little more time, but you can get tasty coffee on the run too.

When I first purchased my AeroPress kit, I so appreciated that the Fox crew took time to teach me how to make the most of it. This post is guaranteed to help coffee-makers of all skill levels brew a better cup. Thanks!
