AeroPress espresso is a quick and easy way to make a strong, espresso-style coffee perfect for making homemade Lattes

Equipment

  • Aeropress
  • Grinder
  • Kettle

Ingredients

  • 18-20 g Dark Roasted Coffee
  • 60 mL Hot Water

Instructions

  • Grind the Coffee: Grind 18-20g coffee finer than drip but coarser than espresso - like table salt texture.
  • Set Up Your Aeropress: Place filter in cap, rinse with hot water to remove paper taste and preheat.
  • Add Coffee and Water: Add coffee to the chamber and pour in 50–60mL of hot water (just off boil).
  • Stir and Steep: Stir 3-4 times quickly and let it steep for 30-45 seconds.
  • Press: Insert plunger and press slowly for 20-30 seconds with steady pressure.
  • Add Milk/Water: Taste the concentrate - add milk for lattes or hot water for americano-style drinks.
