9 Ways To Make Coffee With the AeroPress 

Watch our documentary about the AeroPress online: aeropressmovie.com A list of 9 brew methods: 1 - Espresso Style (1:05) 2 - Cold Extracted Espresso (2:38) 3 - Classic Black Coffee (4:00) 4 - The Inverted Method (5:47) 5 - AeroPress On Ice (7:19) 6 - Cold Brew (8:36) 7 - Cold Drip (10:06) 8 - French Press Style (11:36) 9 - Supersized AeroPress (13:08)

I've found another great, free, and easy method to achieve good cold drip coffee: - Put the desired amount of *fine* coffee into the Aeropress. - Fill the Aeopress with ice. Put the included funnel on and fill that with ice too if you want a larger cup. - Leave it out at room temperature and it will melt+drip in a few hours into your cup. You can also put it in the fridge for a slower, stronger drip over ~24 hours. You end up with a great tasting and strong cold drip brew without paying for (or crafting) a drip station.

Bought my 1st AEROPRESS in 2006 ,and I have since bought 3 more . The simplicity of brewing , and taste of the end product , immediately sold me on it . At 73 years of age , I have certainly drunk my share of coffee . While all the variations of use are interesting , I still prefer the original method of preparation . Thank you , Dr. Adler !

I've owned an areopress for 3 years and just spent half an hour watching your videos. I could really use a cup of coffee.

European Coffee Trip: set your comandante to X ticks Me: *laugh in potato grinder*

Actually one of the best videos about Aeropress

The best, most compact, informative video on AeroPress recipes yet!

Got my aeropress a few weeks ago and only know and have done the inverted method. Works well

Bought a commandante and a new aeropress to get me through COVID quaratine (had left my aeropress at work!) so this video is great - thanks!

I got an aeropress about a month ago. Immediately I was surprised at how different the coffee tasted when I used it. I love to use it every morning making my coffee and enjoy it much more than the drip I used before. These are some nice experiments to try too.

I love the AeroPress, it always fascinates me to see how many ways it can be used. It’s versatility is incomparable to any other brewer, this video has some real solid methods. I plan on trying #9 tomorrow.

Just got an Aeropress today. Must say I’m very impressed with the inverted brew coming from French press and pourover.

EXCELLENT video. So helpful and clear. Congratulations to you and the whole team behind it.

This was an insanely helpful video!! I just got my own aeropress and I’m super excited to try all these methods. Keep it up!!

I love this video as I almost always use my Aeropress and just got the C40 grinder. Can't wait to try all of these! Also could have mentioned that the Prismo works wonder for inverted style brewing without having to invert. If that makes sense...

Thank you for the demonstrations with the Aeropress. I especially like the Puck-Puck cold brew attachment. Can’t wait to try the other nine methods.

Thanks so much for this video. I used the French press method and I’m currently enjoying a wonderful cup

Thank you for the time stamps! 🙏🏼

Thanks for making this video !! now I really understand this equipment is a multi-purpose coffee maker !

After getting a proper grinder about a week ago I was a bit disappointed with my aeropress and V60 brews. Having watched this video, I realised why - I was grinding far too coarse! This is one of the few videos I’ve seen that actually shows what medium fine *is* and gives a relative guide!

I just bought Aeropress and will definitely try all the methods you demo. One already tried - best!!! Thanks for the tips!

Such a great and helpful video! Only tried the regular and inversed method so far, but definitely gonna try the iced as well! Still struggling with the coarseness of my grinder (Porlex mini) tho.. Would love to see videos of the V60 too

Thanks for sharing, great video as always, method 3 is my favorite cup of coffee.

The last one for brewing more coffee is really nice. Enjoy your videos.

You are amazing and you were the reason for me to buy this durable coffee brew tool.... thanks my bro

This video is the best of all to get the most out of your aeropress. Thanks.

I love my aeropress, only coffee maker I use now.

AeroPress and Comandante, a duo I use on a daily basis. I generally prefer the results using a much coarser grind setting and just a litte more extraction time. But I will try your suggestions. Great video! Thanks

Had never heard of the supersized method and was thinking about trying to modify Tim wendelboes recipe to make a bigger batch as my themos mug can take a 350 gram batch. Will go on a short road trip tomorrow and will be bringing the Aeropress as usual. Will give the supersized method a try tomorrow 😍👌🏻

So informative! Will have fun trying them all

I rarely drink coffee. But I love Chai Lattes. So I've been trying to figure out how to make it at home without being successful every single time. Somehow I saw a French press and thought that would be the way to go. However, it looked like it would be messy and it had a lot if stainless steel parts (afraid of rust). Then I found the Aeropress. Oh my goodness. It made the absolute best Chai. All I had to do was add more water and my frothed milk. To top it off. It cleaned so easily. Now I need an electric kettle so I can stop microwaving my water. I'm going to try the cold brew method for an Iced Chai Latte tomorrow. I can't wait!

Tried cold press today. I have Hario slim only so grinded it in the finest a Hario can get. Also brewed for almost 1:30 mins. With milk it tastes amazing. Quite liked it. Had a darker roast coffee, Low bitterness with good dark chocolate notes.

I really enjoyed this! It was entertaining and helpful. Thank you!

I tried the inverted method today. It was super easy and tasted great.

One time I was doing the inverted method and forgot to put the filter paper 🤦🏻‍♂️ It was a disaster

Well done. Thank you for the demonstration.

Thanks for the great video on Aeropress. Always look forward to your coffee videos. You all take care of yourselves with this Covid 19 in Europe.

Holy sh*t. That last one was genius. Thanks for this video man

Thanks for the thorough overview of methods. I just purchased the AeroPress Go and tried the inverted method. My old grinder only has one setting, so the inverted method didn't care.

Thank you for all the great ideas! I was wondering if there is any way to provide some feedback on how these different strategies affect the taste of the coffee. I kept thinking throughout the video that certain processes seemed tempting but wanted to better understand the flavor, strength, etc. differences. Just got my Aeropress and thoroughly impressed coming from french press and dripper before that. Yummy!

The inverted method was great. I'm into cold brew at the moment and never thought to use the AeroPress like this.

Best Aeropress video ever! Thanks

For Aeropress on ice, it's great in a cocktail shaker to get it cold faster with less dilution and a nice foamy texture.

Thanks for using the Commandante settings in this! Just ordered the Aeropress Go half an hour ago, and this will definitely be an interesting one, both for camping and home..! Love my Bialetti Moka Express, so it will be interesting to see how they compare. Pretty sure ill use both, as my stomach demands different types of coffee throughout the day 😅

Yesss more interesting Aeropress recipes 😁

Thanks for this video! The Spcialty Coffee Association's black coffee recommendation is really good. Love my Aeropress.

Bought one within a day of seeing this. She does nicely, def recommend over a standard drip pot ❤

The surprising thing is that this video came out in 2020! Thanks for sharing. I'm seeing light on my AP now

Great video. I have most and have tried the majority of coffee making and said devices. Aeropress is my second favorite. I swear, I don't think you can get a better tasting coffee than from a syphon coffee maker. I use a paper filter device in mine and in my opinion, I get the most flavor out of the syphon.

This is so awesome! Learned a lot

Thanks for all the recipes! There were even a few ones new to me :) So, Ales, you tasted all of them; which one is your favourite?

Great vid 👊🏼

hope to try traditional method too... definitely i will do it soon on my channel. Thank you very much for this video 😊 👍

Fantastic!!!!

Aeropress is my daily driver at work. Love it. I've always used #5 with my Chemex but I've had better results with 40% ice to 60% water by weight. Cheers, slurp.

I received my AeroPress today and did a "no press" recipe by mistake and it was one the tastiest brews I made with the beans I used. 10 g - 180 ml, wait 2 minutes without plunger and it's ready. (There were little sediments in the server I sieved out as I poured into the cup.)

The last method is the one that surprised me the most, ill give it a try once ill get my hands on a properly roasted coffee.

Fun tip for inverted method! Put the cup upside down on the inverted press and then flip the whole unit as one. No spill no trouble.

this is amazing i have aeropress for about 4 years but just now i know about it

This video just saved me heaps of grief with my new AP. Could not get a consistent cuppa to save my life. I “think” I got it now thanks to this video (and the inversion method) Thank you Thank you Thank you 🎉❤☕️

I, too, first learned the inverted method. I still like it the best. I use about 17g of coffee, add about 50g water and stir. I wait about 20 seconds and then fill the aeropress. Water is approximately 80 degrees C. I usually start plunging at 1:30. 20 seconds. Then I will add water to fill my cup. Normally, I only make coffee for me, so one cup is ideal. Thank you for making this video. I will try some of the other methods. And thank you for making the movie. The Aeropress is my favorite method to brew coffee. I very much enjoyed the movie.

Woww... i never try the last one.. Stay safe everyone..

Great channel, great video 👍🏽

the over night cold brew and the 9th method - gonna try tomorrow morning ; D how exciting!

I have had mine for around 6 years. I've been thinking of it as the "most forgiving" brewing apparatus, but this shows that "most versatile" is more accurate. It's also the most convenient/portable.

Very informative video, thank you. What would be your recommendation and why for extracting fruity sweet flavour from something like a lightly roasted natural Ethiopian, etc

This channel is very underrated, best coffee channel on RU-vid

I have an original aeropress But I really love the travel size one you have.

love it. tip though when inverted method chuck the cup upside first works so much better!

Jste nejlepší, díky!

Thanks for this complete tricks of aeropress. Its very helpfull..

Great vid!

Great video. What measuring cup are you using? It fits the Aeropress perfectly!

Finally ordered an aero press. I definitely need it next to my Clever, V60, Crystal dripper and Cafelat Robot.

I don’t know if you have tried it but to make espresso in the aero press I put a paper filter on top of the coffee, then tamp it with a seasoning salt container that is the same diameter as the aero press then pour 60 grams of boiling hot water slowly on the cake, making sure that the puck does not break up or separate. Wait 15 seconds and push as hard as you can to get crema. I also use a metal filter to allow more of the oils to come through and get a better mouth feel

First try, coffee came out perfectly, I like my coffee dark and strong. added 2 Tbsp. dark roast coffee, fill it to number 3, at 192 degrees in the inverted position, soak it for 4 minutes and wah la, I knew it was going to be delicious, when the shade is in the color of caramel, and that it was. I just got this AeroPress today. First time using it.

The French press style method blew my mind. I had never thought of that

Method number 9 is the one I used almost from the gitgo,since I needed a way to fill my 20 ounce mug !

Awesome overview! And stoked to see you guys testing the Supersized method 🙌

I started using an Aeropress(AP hereafter) in 2008. I got that one as a birthday or Christmas present from a friend. I could NOT get coffee to taste the way I wanted and I must have wasted 5 pounds of coffee trying to get the brew up right......put the AP in the cupboard and forgot about it......forgot about it until I stumbled across somebody who posted an 'upside down' method of brewing using the AP. I dont remember who or where this was posted but THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THANK YOU!!!!! :D I got very lucky and got 'decent' results the first time by just following, loosely, the process in the post online......and I have been using an AP ever since. I have NEVER-EVER used any scale for ANYTHING in my brew up process. I use a 20oz 'Thermo-Serv insulated mug as it contains NO metal and can be microwaved and is sturdy enough to press the coffee through the AP without worry of a catastrophic accident!!! This is more important than you think!! LOL Anyway.....2 scoops of fresh beans using the supplied AP scoop, ground fine(NOT powdered) and I have found that water somewhere between 190*F and 198*F yeilds the best results....but each different coffee WILL REQUIRE experimentation on water temp as some coffees care not in the least what temp water you use and SOME want the water temp within 2* or less!! I have had coffee that I thought was garbage turn out to be AWESOME when I found that perfect brew temp. I pre-heat the AP with hot tap water or heated water while the 18oz in the mug(its 20oz to the very top) boils.....when the water boils, I open the microwave door and then pour out the pre-heat water in the AP and put in the FINE ground coffee in the AP....take the mug out of the microwave and stir the water for 1.3347 second.....thats a joke ;) and put the lid on the mug and slowly pour the water into the AP until its just below the top, then stir the coffee+water in the AP for 20-40 seconds(depends on the coffee used) and add water to the top letting the creama bulge slightly.....install the filter holder with a pre-wetted filter paper(i re-use these many times if the same coffee is used) CAREFULLY, and take the lid off the mug and CAREFULLY put the AP on top of the mug making sure to be careful as to avoid a mess and possible burns!!! I set my timer to 5 minutes, 30 seconds and wait....DING!! press the coffee into the mug....if you can easily press the plunger, your grind is too coarse!! If you cannot press the plunger, your grind is too fine.....lol This process produces about 17oz total coffee in the mug when finished. After having done this process at least 2x/day since 2009, I can say that i very rarely have any 'misfires' and the only variables in order of importance, are water temp!!!! grind size...steep time........but lets talk about water,,,,,I have found that spring water works best....I DO NOT EVER-EVER-EVER use any 'tap water' unless the tap is connected to a well on site. a friend has a house with a well that makes the most awesome coffee ever....he thinks im nuts for filling 10 or 15 water jugs(or however many I can fit in my vehicle) every time I visit for my coffee water....he isnt a coffee drinker...lol Using an AP isnt for everyone....but....it really WILL produce astonishing coffee when you get all the variables just right for your taste....but I have found that finer is better for grind size and water temp a bit higher than recommended is also better but BOTH need to be adjusted for the particular coffee used, with water temp being king. And I have finished my mug of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe while typing this all out and am going to make a Kenya AA that I just bought, now..... Cheers!!

I have been handicapping my Aeropress compared to some of these methods. Alot of experimenting to come. Thank you.

I represent the owners of Comandante grinder say thank you very much, Ales! LOL!

You guys made an excellent vid, gladly i have a comandante & aeropress..

suggestion: to make a larger amount of coffee, it is possible to increase the amount of beans maintaining the proportion of water. Use medium grind and water at a temperature of 93 degrees. Using the inverted method, add 200g of water and stir for half the infusion time. Extract and add the rest of the water.

I watched this and got surprised at myself! I've only had my AP for a little over two weeks and I've tried everything but classic black coffee and cold drip 😅

Very good and very informative video! 👍 Na zdraví! ☺️ ...and greetings to fellow Slavs from Poland! 👋

I just brew inverted aero press, blooming and full brewing for less than 2mins whether hot or cold, nothing fancy but still taste great

Interesting video! Greetings from Colombia!

Trying the French press right now!

You look like a monk. Stability and relax. Thanks for sharing!

I like the aeropress because I can change my dose without needing to dial in changing the grind size as you would with espresso.

When flipping using the inverted method, make sure the pressure doesn't pop the syringe out; I learned it the hard way.

Love it. Thanks for the video. New sub.

Great video - I'd love to see a video using a low end machine to steam milks such as soya and oat milk.

AeroPress, hmmm? Could be a thought. Depending on my mood, I’m sure I’d be alternating between #01 and #07.

Best coffee maker in the Universe.

That supersize method was mind-blowing! I guess extra dosing allows that "double extraction" without getting too watery. I had no idea people were doing 12 hour cold-brews and drip brews in these things too (although I'm tempted to say that the effort/time doesn't really feel right with how much coffee you get by the end of it). That being said, it's an otherwise accessible way to get into those brewing methods so still pretty cool :D

Great video. Subscribed!

I prefer the invented method but I am definitely going to try the supersized! Awesome video. I also go back and forth with diluting the coffee after the brew. Both taste great!

Love the thumbnail!
