AeroPress Brew Guide

Get Organized

One of the simplest and most effective ways to brew coffee easily at home or while camping is the AeroPress. The durable and efficient design produces an epic coffee experience, with easy clean up.

You will need:

Aero Press brewer
Aero Press filter
Grinder
1 AeroPress Scoop (17g or 2 ½ Tablespoons) of coffee
Hot water just off the boil (about 205°F)
AeroPress paddle or spoon
Timer
Mug

Grind the Beans

Measure and grind 17g of crazy fresh, ethically sustainable and artisan roasted Coastal Coffee Beans of your choice, one rounded AeroPress spoonful or about 2 ½ Tablespoons. Grind the coffee about as fine as table salt.

Prep the Press

Place the filter into the AeroPress basket. Next, rinse the filter with hot water to get rid of any paper flavours and warm up the brewer. You can heat your mug up with hot water while you are at it.

Discard the rinse water from your mug. Attach the basket to the bottom of the brew chamber and place it on top of the mug. If it’s handy, use the funnel (or coffee loader) that comes with the AeroPress to add 17g of coffee. Then, remove the funnel.

Boil the water and when it is just off the boil, about 205 F, pour the hot water into the brewer.

Start your timer when you pour hot water (just off the boil or about 205°F) into your brewer. Submerge all the grounds within 10 seconds. Pour to the No. 4 or 220g of water if you’re using a scale. Spin the chamber, making sure all the coffee is saturated.

Plunge

Once you’ve filled the brewer, mix the coffee and water mixture and place the plunger on the brew chamber. Pull up gently to create a pressure seal, but don’t plunge just yet!

After 1:15, remove the pressure seal and give the mixture another stir. Put the plunger back on and gently press down with a consistent pressure. The entire brew process should take around two minutes and produce seven to eight ounces of coffee.

Enjoy!

Experience the difference and enjoy your perfectly brewed cup of Coastal Coffee. Easily clean your AeroPress by popping the grinds and filter into your compost and rinsing your Aeropress.

Drink it in. Savour each sip. Taste the world.

How to Brew With a Chemex

Step 1: Organize

To brew in a Chemex, you will need:

6-cup Chemex
Chemex Filter
Grinder
40g (6 tablespoons) of fresh roasted coffee
Kettle
Hot water just off the boil ( 640g or 22oz at 94ºC (205°F)
Scale
Timer
Stir stick
Cool Mug

Step 2: Prep

Step 3: Start Brewing

Add 2/3 cups of hot water to the coffee grounds, pouring in circles in order to get all the grinds wet. Pouring in circles helps keep the brew consistent and even. Use the back of a wooden spoon to stir the water and grinds together and then wait 30 seconds.

There should be a crust on the top of the coffee grinds now. Slowly pour in circles again to break all of that crust up. Add another one cup of water and wait until the water level drops by 1/2 inch.

Step 4: Brew

Step 5: Enjoy
