Tips & Tricks

  • Rinse paper filter to remove papery taste.
  • For a cleaner cup, use two paper filters.
  • Try the 'inverted' method for a full immersion brew with no initial drip-through (search for AeroPress Inverted).
  • Experiment with bypass brewing: use less water for concentrate, then dilute. This can highlight different flavors.
