Coffee:17g
Grind:
Coarse
Water:
270g @ 80°C
Brewer:
Upright
Filter:
Paper, rinsed with hot water

Directions:

1. Put the paper filter in the filter holder, wet it with hot water, let it expand and refit it.
2. Screw it very tightly into a clean preferably pre-heated AeroPress.
3. Measure out 17 grams of coffee (well, specifically this Kenya…) and grind coarsely, bit coarser than paper filter at the very last moment.
4. Put the AeroPress non-inverted on the recipient.
5. Measure 270 grams of soft mineral water or filtered water and bring it to 80°C.
6. Splash a bit of the water on the filter and directly after throw in the freshly ground coffee, as to allow the bottom to wet and expand a bit.
7. Directly after, wet the coffee by dripping or pouring very slowly all the grounds, about 40 grams
8. After the coffee has absorbed the water, after about 30 seconds, start very slowly pouring the rest of the water, try to re-wet the coffee fully again, see that the grounds do not separate from the water, this can be done using a good kettle with small nozzle.
9. Let the AeroPress steep and drip for about 1/4th through or 1 minute.
10. Help about 2/4th of the rest of the water through, with the provided piston, very gently.
11. Remove the press and the what’s left, about 50 grams of water from the recipient and throw away.

Grind:
A little coarser than filter (3.25 in the Brew Bar)
Water:
230g @ 75°C (provided in the Brew Bar)
Brewer:
Inverted
Filter:

1. 18 grams of coffee ground a little coarser than filter (3.25 in the Brew Bar)
2. 230 grams of 75°C water provided in the Brew Bar!
3. Start the timer
4. Pour water nice and easy with a Hario twisting the AeroPress
5. Stir gently for 10 sec, make sure to get all the way to the bottom
6. Clean the paper filter with water
7. After 1.15 min turn and press – gently for approx 30 sec
8. Stop pressing when water surface is broken by the coffee grounds
9. Stir the coffee up and down with a spoon
10. Serve the 2 dl (200 ml) to the judges and enjoy the little leftovers yourself

Coffee:20g
Grind:
One bit finer then filter (4 on Ditting)
Water:
82°C
Filter:
Paper, rinsed with hot water

Directions:

1. Water serving temperature: tough one. We trained at 80°C, but then competed in the finals at 82°C. Jeff thought the roast was very fresh and needed 85°C, but I thought that was dangerous. He went for something in the middle.
2. Volume of coffee: 20 grams. A classic cut for us; a lot for a 20cl (200ml) drink maybe.
3. Then the brewing: Before the actual brew we decided to make a blind press to heat up the plastic of the press, the cup and rinse the paper filter.
4. We first take the filter and filter holder off and reverse the press. 20 grams is ground in a stainless steel cup (this is non static, except for the lightest of grounds!!) and we use a funnel to keep things clean.
5. As pouring device we went for the Buono kettle. This allows you to pour slowly and, this way, control the blooming. We often see an uncontrolled blooming while pouring too much water too fast.
6. We pour the water very slow and keep on rotating the base to make sure all coffee grounds brews well. This takes about 30 seconds.
7. We screw on the filter and wait 60 seconds. By this time all coffee is well agitated and it’s time to invert the AeroPress for pressing.
8. We go now for a very slow press.
9. After almost (another) 60 seconds we stop just before or just on the moment of the hissing sound. The last bit of water is very oily and bitter.

Paper, rinsed

Directions:

1. Begin by boiling freshly filtered tap water.
2. Invert your AeroPress. Apply a paper filter and run it under the tap until it’s rinsed.
3. Fill your inverted AeroPress with boiling water, apply the filter, flip and press the boiling water through the filter to ensure there is absolutely no paper taste and to heat up the system.
4. Once again, invert your AeroPress. The plunger should be about 1cm from the bottom. Grind off your coffee, slightly finer than filter grind (should be 14g by weight) and put it into your cup or glass. Keep this handy.
5. Bring your water to a rolling boil.
6. Put your inverted AeroPress on a scale and zero out.
7. When the kettle hits a rolling boil, shut it off, open the lid and start your timer.
8. Wait thirty seconds to allow the water to cool a bit.
9. Add 1 dL (100 ml) or ~95g by weight of your water to the AeroPress and quickly zero out the scale again.
10. Start your clock and add the 14g of coffee to the water and give the coffee a quick but efficient stir to completely saturate the coffee grounds in the water.
11. Add the remaining 1dL (100 ml) or ~95g by weight of water to the coffee slurry. The scale total should now read 109g.
12. Wait until the clock reads 50 seconds and then slowly and carefully flip the AeroPress back upright. (I would use two hands.)
13. Begin slowly plunging. This should take about 25 seconds. Plunge until you hear any hissing or air escaping through the coffee puck. Quickly pull the plunger back up and invert your AeroPress so it doesn’t leak everywhere.
14. Serve.

Coffee:20g
Grind:
Filter ground
Filter:
Paper, soaked

Directions:

1. Do a ‘blind’ press with boiling water to soak the paper filter.
2. Pour 20 grams of filter ground coffee into the main AeroPress chamber.
3. Pour boiling water to “1” mark on the plunger and wait for 5 seconds.
4. Pour water from the plunger into the main chamber. Circulate water and grounds with a jug underneath, ensuring grounds are wet.
5. Fill water from boiler up to “3” mark on the plunger.
6. 30 seconds after pouring the first water in, pour in the contents of the plunger into the main chamber. Then press firmly until the brewed coffee is extracted into the jug, but stop just before the ‘pppffssstt’ sound.
7. Serve.
