AeroPress

AeroPress is unbelievably versatile – this incredible tool is perfect not only for beginners, but also for seasoned coffee lovers. It combines the convenience of french press and advantages of coffee dripper, so it’s not only fast and easy to use, but also makes a delicious, aromatic coffee.

This coffee maker gives you endless ways to experiment with the flavor of your drink. Whether you let your coffee extract for a different time than your last brew, use a lower or higher temperature of water or grind your coffee on a new setting, you can mix and match to find the perfect method for you. It always yields 250ml of coffee and only takes up to a few minutes to extract.

AeroPress is currently one the most variable and unconventional methods to prepare coffee.

Instruction Manual:

1. Heat up water to 85°C.
2. Pull out the piston to separate it from the chamber.
3. Insert a paper filter and screw the lid on the chamber.
4. Place the chamber over a sturdy, stable mug and add one measuring spoon (16-18g) of medium-fine ground coffee.
5. Settle the coffee by shaking it slightly. Pour in water until it reaches the guideline (4) on the side of the chamber. You will hear water dripping into the mug – that is a completely normal part of the process.
6. Gently mix for 5 seconds. Then quickly push the piston roughly 1cm in the chamber to create a vacuum, and wait 30 seconds.
7. Push in the piston and apply gentle, steady pressure (avoid excessive force). Continue until you stop hearing the characteristic hiss, signaling that there is no remaining water and the coffee is done.
8. Remove the lid of the filter. Hold the coffee maker over a sink or a waste bin and push the piston all the way down until you hear the used coffee grounds 'pop' out.
9. Discard the paper filter and rinse the lid as well as the coffee maker.

Cleaning & Maintenance:

• Remove used coffee: Unscrew the lid. Hold the AeroPress over a waste bin and push the piston all the way down. Coffee grounds as well as the paper filter will fall out automatically.
• Clean the parts: The piston, chamber, and lid can be rinsed in warm water.
• Clean the sealing: Gently clean the rubber seal of the piston with your finger or a soft sponge to remove any coffee residue and oils.
  Allow to dry completely.
• Avoid strong cleaning liquids as well as rough sponges to avoid damage to the product.
• Not dishwasher safe.
• Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Safety Warning:

• Hot liquids may cause severe burns.
  While pushing the piston, hold the travel mug GO as well as the chamber steadily in one hand while you use the other to apply pressure on the piston down vertically.
• Never push the piston if the seal isn't perfect. Hot water could leak and cause burns.
• Never push the piston down while using a fragile mug or a cup with a narrow bottom.
• Never use excessive force to push down the piston. You risk breaking the machine and spilling hot liquids.
• Inverted method: Some prefer using AeroPress upside down, also known as the inverted method. We recommend against this method, as it is less stable and may lead to more accidents or burns.
• Avoid exposure to high temperatures, open fire, or stoves.
• Do not use a visibly damaged product.
• Keep out of reach of children.
