A base of strong, full-bodied coffee gives the whiskey structure without bitterness, while brown sugar adds warmth and cream creates a classic Irish coffee finish. Rich, balanced and perfect for St. Patrick’s Day sipping.

Insert a paper micro-filter or reusable metal filter into the standard Flow Control Cap and attach it to a standard-size AeroPress chamber.
Place the AeroPress chamber on top of your mug.
Add ground coffee to the chamber.
Pour in the water.
Stir gently for 5 seconds to fully saturate the grounds.
Let steep for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Insert the plunger and press gently.
To the coffee concentrate in your mug, add 1 oz Irish whiskey and 1-2 tsp packed brown sugar, and stir gently until sugar has dissolved.
Float lightly whipped cream over the back of a spoon to form a smooth layer on top of the drink.
If desired, garnish with freshly grated nutmeg or cocoa powder - or green sugar for a festive St. Patrick’s Day touch.
