Brewing Tip:
When pressing out the Aeropress, do not force the plunger down. A slow, steady press out is the
key to a clean cup that is free of sediment. When nearing the end, and you can see co ee grounds, ease up on the
pressure and stop when you hear a faint hissing noise. Do not push the plunger all the way down. There should be
an air space of a couple inches between the plunger and the co ee.
Grind Tip No. 1:
If it is too hard to press out, your grind is probably too fine. If it is too easy, your grind is too
coarse.
Grind Tip No. 2:
All grinders will produce a mix of course and fine particles - none are perfect, however, burr
grinders produce far more uniformity. If your resulting cup is too strong and/or bitter, adjust your grind slightly
coarser. If it is too weak and/or sour, adjust slightly finer.
