How to make the best AeroPress brew

Have you given AeroPress a go? It might look a bit scary but it it isn’t actually complicated and brews a delicious cup. Here is how:

☕ Boil the kettle and put a filter into the cap of your AeroPress
☕ Grind the beans: The AeroPress takes espresso or slightly coarser coffee
☕ Warm your mug and pour a little boiling water over the filter to get rid of the papery taste
☕ Put the plunger and chamber together and stand them upside down
☕ Add one scoop of coffee (2–2.5tbsps) to the AeroPress
☕ Wait a minute or so after the kettle has boiled, then pour in 250ml of water
☕ Time this next bit carefully: Stir the grounds and water for 5 seconds; then screw on the cap and wait for 35 seconds
☕ Turn the AeroPress over, stand it on your mug and press the plunger down steadily
☕ Drink and enjoy
