A Guide to Brewing with an Aeropress (Inverted method)
The Aeropress is a very versatile and interesting piece of equipment! With some experimentation it can pretty well brew any style of coffee you could get your hands on. The Aeropress is easily disassembled and stored to make traveling with it a breeze.
While it’s possible to brew an Aeropress to maximise flavour profiles for lighter filter style roasts, our guide will focus on a recipe to mimic espresso brewed at pressure. For brewing multiple cups this recipe can be doubled.
