Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best AeroPress coffee ratio?
For a clean Americano-style cup, 1:13 (17g coffee to 220ml water) is ideal. For an espresso-style concentrate, use 1:5.5 (18g coffee to 100ml water) and top with hot water or frothed milk.
Why does AeroPress use cooler water?
AeroPress inventor Alan Adler found that water between 175°F and 195°F (80°C - 90°C) reduces bitterness and acidity extraction while maximizing sweet, delicate flavor notes.
