The strength of coffee you enjoy most is personal so you should conduct some trials to determine your favorite way to brew using your AeroPress. The instructions that we provide with the AeroPress suggest using one rounded scoop (about 14 grams) of coffee for each shot of espresso style coffee desired and for each 8 oz serving of Americano style coffee. Try three rounded scoops and fill your 24 oz mug with Americano style coffee. That is a lot of coffee so you may need to use a slightly coarser grind and a little longer steep time. Experiment.
FAQ
- previous post: I want my coffee to brew longer than the 10 second allotted for in the instructions. If I leave my coffee in the press without plunging it will still trickle through. Can you devise something that will allow me to brew the coffee longer before plunging? Thank you. – From Warren V.
- next post: Mr. Alan, I just discovered the aeropress a week ago after going through the Chemex, v360, and French press. I am amazed by the flavor of the aeropress, but can you invent a giant big Aeropress please? If you can, please let me know and I will buy 2 or 3 of them as soon as possible. – From Tomas L.
