Aeropress Method
- Boil your kettle and leave the water to sit for approx. 2mins. Pour some of the water into your mug to warm it.
- Measure out between 15 – 17g of freshly roasted Bora coffee beans. If you don’t have a scale, fill the Aeorpress scoop (provided) and level it out.
- Grind your coffee beans. We recommend a medium grind. All grinders vary so please check your settings.
- Place a filter paper into the cap and screw onto the Aeropress chamber.
- Empty the water from the mug and place the Aeropress chamber with the attached cap and filter paper onto the top of the mug.
- Splash some boiled water onto the filter paper to wet it.
- Add your freshly ground coffee to the bottom of the chamber, using the funnel provided.
- Flatten the coffee at the bottom of the chamber. Then slowly pour the boiled water on top of the coffee (between 250g to 300g – or no higher than the No.4 on the Aeropress chamber).
- Slowly stir the water and coffee with the stirrer provided for about ten seconds.
- Carefully place the plunger on top of the chamber to seal and leave to stand for about 90 seconds.
- Remove the plunger and stir for a further 10 seconds.
- Place the plunger back into the chamber and slowly push down on the water and coffee until you hear a ‘hiss’ sound.
- Remove the Aerporess from the top of your mug & enjoy your brew.
- To dispose of the coffee grinds, simply twist the Aerporess cap and remover and then push the plunger. Recycle your grinds in the garden if you can!
