Espresso with Aeropress
This recipe will show you how to make espresso-style coffee with an Aeropress. It won't be true espresso, but it will be close.
Ingredients
- 15 g coffee beans
- 60 g filtered water
Instructions
- Measure and grind your coffee beans fresh.
- Prepare the Aeropress with the 1st filter and coffee grounds.
- Wet the 2nd filter, place it on your makeshift tamper that fits into the Aeropress chamber and put the filter on top of the coffee, creating an espresso puck. Don’t tamp hard though.
- Slowly add brewing water, making sure not to displace the filter.
- Press hard.

Notes
- Do not grind as fine as you would for an espresso machine, it will clog the Aeropress.
