Here is your guide to brew coffee in an Aeropress:
AEROPRESS (In a nutshell)
Amongst the many manual brewers available in the market today, the AeroPress is one such a brewer that has quickly gained popularity and its fair share of loyalists. Popular for its flexibility and portability, it brews a rich, clean cup of coffee in a fairly short amount of time.
An immersion based brewer, the AeroPress comprises of two parts, a brew chamber and the plunger, attached with an airtight silicone seal. Applying pressure on the plunger increases the speed at which the coffee gets brewed. This in turn reduces the acidity and bitterness in coffee. The brew is simultaneously passed through a paper filter, which removes the coffee grinds and bitter oils from entering the cup.
