The Plunger Twist: After tamping, twist and remove the plunger extremely slowly to prevent vacuum suction from breaking up the dry coffee puck.
Anti-Float Pour: Pour the first few grams of water very slowly. This keeps the top filter paper flat and prevents it from floating up.
The Freshness Fix: Use 70°C (70°C) water instead of 93°C if your coffee is freshly roasted. This prevents CO2 gas from lifting the filter.
Light-Handed Press: Plunge very gently over a 1.5-minute window. Pressing too hard pushes bitter fines and bypass water through the puck.
Preventing the vacuum: Pull the plunger back out very slowly while twisting. Pulling it too quickly creates a suction vacuum that will break up the tamped coffee puck.
Flat filter check: If the top filter stuck to the rubber gasket when you pulled the plunger out, peel it off, place it flat on the puck, and gently press it down with a spoon or paddle

Place one paper filter in the AeroPress cap and screw it onto the chamber. Place the AeroPress on your brewing vessel.

Add Coffee – Put 15g of finely ground coffee into the AeroPress and tap to level.

Pour - Start your timer. Gently pour 150g of water over the top filter.Keep the water stream slow at first so the paper doesn't lift.

Insert the plunger slightly into the top of the chamber

Slow Press - Begin pressing down very slowly and gently. Keep a light, steady hand; pressing too hard can push bitter fines or channel water through the sides of the puck
