Pro Tips

  • Lower water temperature (85–88°C) works beautifully with dark roasts to reduce bitterness.
  • Metal filters produce a fuller body with more oils; paper filters produce more clarity.
  • The AeroPress is extremely forgiving — vary steep time and grind to dial in your preference.
  • Great for travel — it's indestructible and lightweight.
