I am off to try these new recipes this weekend!
These are the top 2 Aeropress methods from the 2013 World Aeropress Championships…
Jeff Verellen’s winning recipe :
17 grams coffee ground 5.75 on the uber grinder, little courser than paper filter.
Rinsed normal filter, aeropress in regular position.
50 grams of water at 83c for the bloom.
Bloom for 40s. Nicely wet all grounds and lightly agitate holding the aeropress and shaking it abit around.
Very slowly add 215 grams of water at 79c for about 30 sec
Press very gently for about 30 seconds.
Leave about 50 gram slurry in the press and discard.
Put the rest of the brew in the gob.
Extra tips for supreme brew:
Picking beans, lights out, heavies in. Too big and weird, also out.
Use a cocktail pitcher to grind in and charge up static electricity so light particles stick to the walls, try to discard them.
Wille Yli-Luoma’s 2nd place recipe :
