What you'll need:

How to brew:
How to brew:
1) Grab your coffee
Time to weigh out what we need - in this case we'd advise 15g (in other words - approx. 3 tablespoons)
2) Get the kettle on to boil
oooo we're getting excited...
3) Grind baby
If you are grinding your own beans, grind to a medium grind size (similar to granulated sugar)
4) Brew inverted
We'd suggest using the inverted method and add your ground coffee
5) Wash your filter paper
We dont like the taste of paper!
6) Add water
Add 50 ml of water and swirl for 5 seconds all whilst it's blooming for 30 second bloom
Then add another 50ml of water, swirl it 5 times and leave for a further 30 seconds
Then add the remaining 150ml of water
7) Screw on the filter cap
Obviously...
8) Flip it
Flip onto the cup and spin the aeropress a few times to make sure you wash any coffee that is stuck to the plunger back into the brew water
9) Plunge for 30 seconds
Take in that freshly brewed coffee smell!
10) Pop out the grounds
Satisfyingly push the used coffee grinds into a food waste bin (It's almost as enjoyable as drinking your coffee)
