Are you tired of waking up to stale coffee in plastic cups during your travels? It’s time to say goodbye to budget coffee makers and hello to the innovative AeroPress. This nifty tool not only makes your coffee taste amazing but also keeps the planet happy.
In the past decade, my faithful AeroPress has accompanied me everywhere, from fancy hotel suites to humble sleeping bags. It’s my on-the-go coffee maker, ensuring that I never have to settle for less than perfect java, regardless of my surroundings. Trust me, AeroPress is the knight in shining armor for caffeine enthusiasts like me.
Now, let’s dive into the wonderfully strange world of AeroPress brewing. Think of it as a giant syringe for your coffee fix. It may look odd, but it creates a luscious coffee concentrate that’ll make your taste buds tango. And the best part? Say goodbye to messy sink encounters with coffee grounds – just push the puck into the trash and rinse the AeroPress clean. It’s hotel-friendly and planet-approved!
The Perfect Cup of AeroPress Coffee
Let’s get down to business and prepare for the ultimate coffee experience. But first, gather your heavenly essentials:

Alright, let’s embark on this caffeinated adventure:
-
Boil the water: If you don’t have a kettle, don’t fret! You can always nuke it in the microwave. Just remember to clean out any funky stale coffee taste before heating up your liquid gold.
-
Grind coffee beans: Freshly ground coffee is the key to unlocking flavor nirvana. If possible, grind your beans before brewing. For the love of coffee, don’t settle for pre-ground mediocrity! If you’re on the move, consider the portable wonder that is the Hario Skerton Plus grinder. Trust me, it’s worth it. (Check out our full review and give it some love.)
-
Assembly: Now, let’s put the pieces together. Flip the AeroPress upside down – we’re rebels here – hole facing up, and let it balance on its plunger. If you use a paper filter, rinse it well to avoid any papery surprises. Personally, I prefer metal filters – they’re environmentally friendly, and I can use them endlessly without fear of running out. Pop your filter of choice into the cap and let’s move on.
-
Add water and coffee: The moment you’ve been waiting for! Fill the AeroPress chamber with coffee, pour in enough water to saturate it (approximately 50 grams – if you’re into precision), and let it bubble for 30 tantalizing seconds. Pro tip: Aim for water just below boiling point, so leave your kettle open for about 30 seconds after it shuts off.
-
Brew that magic: Fill the AeroPress almost to the brim, let it stand for a minute, give it a quick stir with the included stirring wand (because we like to get fancy), and lock on the cap. Now, it’s showtime. Invert the AeroPress and plunge like there’s no tomorrow.
