Coffee Methods

Phase 1: Pour & stir

Open the journal

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.
