Eliza Furnace: Aeropress Recipe
The AeroPress always wows us with the coffee you can make, and we’ve been loving brewing our Eliza Furnace blend with it! The cup of coffee we get from it is full in flavor and body thanks to the immersion brew style similar to a French press - but with plenty of clarity from the paper filter the AeroPress uses. The recipe is also super quick, easy, and repeatable - yielding a tasty cup in under 3 minutes! Check out our recipe, make it at home, and let us know what you think!
The Recipe
Coffee: 12 grams
Water: 190 grams @ 203°F or just off of boil
Grind Size: Fine to Medium-Fine (Pictured for reference)
12 clicks on Comandante C40
Aeropress Position: Inverted
Directions:
Invert AeroPress - placing the plunger a 1/2 inch into the top of the brewer
Rinse filter in the cap and set aside
Add 12 grams of ground coffee into the brewer
Place brewer on scale - and begin pouring water up to 190 grams
At 30 seconds, stir the coffee in the brewer - back and forth - for 10 seconds
After stirring, screw the cap with rinsed filter onto the brewer
At 2:00 minutes, flip the AeroPress onto your server or mug and gently press the plunger down
Push all liquid through - and your brew should be done between 2:30 and 2:45 min!
The coffee should be full and moderately heavy in body, have a syrupy mouthfeel, with milk chocolate sweetness that develops into a dark chocolate finish with a pleasant bitterness. If the coffee turns out a tad too bitter and dry - try making the grind coarser! If it tastes acidic and hollow - try making the grind finer!
