Alright, here it is, the primo hand-crafted, long-time figured-out directions and measurements for your Aeropress. If you are just beginning, welcome to the world of non-acidic coffee. And if you are looking for a new recipe, then buckle up. This is a strong ‘un.

Depending on your grinder, you’re going to have to trial & error this first step. But! if you happen to have a Rancilio grinder, then I suggest turning the bean hopper dial to 25.
- Grind your beans. Dark roast variety is nice but whatever your preference. It should be in-between coarse grind for a French Press, and the fineness of espresso ground.
