Use this AeroPress timer for a simple, repeatable sequence: pour and stir, steep, then press. The preset comes from the site recipe, so the timing matches the ratio and temperature used there.
Start by calculating your dose with the AeroPress ratio calculator. If a concentrated cup needs dilution, dilute after pressing before changing the steep time. This keeps the next comparison clear.
AeroPress timing checkpoints
| Phase | Starting time | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Pour and stir | 0:00–0:10 | Add water and stir gently |
| Steep | 0:10–1:10 | Let the coffee extract without more stirring |
| Press | 1:10–1:40 | Press steadily; stop at the hiss |
Save the dose, water, and taste note in your private journal so the next adjustment has a baseline.
