Materials:
  • Aeropress, stir stick & spoon
  • Paper filter
  • Electric kettle
  • Grinder
  • Scale
  • Mug or vessel to brew into
  • Timer
  • POG flavored coffee (14-15g or 3tbsp)
  • Water (130mL)
  • Ice cream


    • Instructions:

    1. Measure & grind one spoonful of coffee - using rounded AeroPress spoonful. Grind should be a medium-fine grind.

      2. Place the filter in the basket. Preheat the brewer and rinse the filter with hot water. This gets rid of the paper flavor and warms everything up. 

      3. Put the basket on the bottom of the brew chamber and place it on top of your mug. Add the spoonful of pre-measured coffee.
      4. Start your timer when you pour hot water into your brewer. Saturate the grounds for 10 seconds. Pour water to the number 2 on AeroPress. Spin the chamber, make sure all the coffee is saturated. Stir the 'slurry' and place the plunger on the brew chamber, pull up slightly to create a pressure seal. Don't plunge yet!
      5. At 1:15, remove the pressure seal and give the slurry another stir with a spoon or paddle. Put the plunger back on and gently press down with steady pressure, until all of the water is out of the plunger. This should take under two minutes.
      6. Pour brewed coffee over a scoop of ice cream. Clean and enjoy.
