Tonx Link to heading

You will need:

  • Tonx coffee (because it’s always fresh roasted)
  • Near-boiling, filtered water
  • Burr grinder
  • Aeropress, with filters
  • Spoon, or other agitating utensil
  1. Measure out 14 grams of Tonx beans or one provided Aeropress scoop.
  2. Grind coffee a little finer than you would for a drip coffee maker or similar to coarseness of table salt.
  3. Place paper filter in filter holder and rinse — place handily off to side.
  4. Assemble the two Aeropress cylinders together so that rubber plunger is at 4 mark.
  5. Invert Aeropress so that brew chamber points up.
    1. Add coffee to brew chamber.
  6. Add near-boiling water to the brew chamber, filling it all the way. Immediately stir water and coffee for 3–5 seconds to ensure even saturation.
    1. After 1:30 stir again. Top off with water to the top. Total water will be about 225 grams.
  7. Screw the filter holder (with rinsed filter) onto the Aeropress.
  8. Flip Aeropress (un-invert) and place onto your favorite and sturdy, mug and gently press down, forcing brewed coffee extraction out. You should be done pressing around 2 minutes.

If the coffee tastes bitter, adjust your grind a little coarser. If the coffee tastes sour, adjust your grinder a little finer.

Want stronger coffee? Use a little less water. Want it weaker? Dilute finished brew.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

  • An aeropress
  • A paper Aeropress filter
  • A burr grinder
  • A scale
  • A timer
  • Filtered water
  • A stirring device
  • A mug or decanter

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Bring your filtered water to a boil
  2. Thoroughly rinse your paper filter to get rid of paper flavor
  3. Weigh out 19 grams of whole bean coffee
  4. Grind the coffee a bit finer than filter drip (or use a grind that suits best for flavor and extraction)
  5. Use provided funnel to transfer grinds to the Aeropress
  6. Pull water off of the boil, and wait 45 seconds to a minute, or until the water is 200-205 degrees Fahrenheit
  7. Start your timer, and quickly pour the water into the Aeropress until it reaches 270 grams of water (near the top). Place plunger in just enough to seal the top, and keep coffee from dripping through.
  8. At one minute and 30 seconds, remove the plunger, and stir for five seconds.
  9. Replace the plunger and slowly push down for about 30 seconds until you hear a hissing sound, don’t push all the way down. There should be moderate resistance while you push down. If it is very difficult to push down, your grind is too fine, if it is very easy, your grind is too coarse
  10. Open the cap, and push out your filter and grounds for clean-up, and enjoy!

STEP ONE Link to heading

Grind Coffee It is important that the coffee be ground to a medium particulate size using a quality burr (rather than blade) grinder. By grinding the coffee this way, you are allowing for a more even extraction resulting in a fuller bodied and more nuanced cup. Blade grinders chop the coffee rather than grinding it, resulting in uneven and unpredictable particle size. This results in uneven extraction, leading to a brew with increased bitterness that is less true to the flavor profile of the coffee. In addition, the lack of uniformity in particle size results in inconsistent results from cup to cup.

STEP TWO Link to heading

Assemble the Brewer Place the plunger inside the brewing tube with the black rubber part touching the bottom of the number 4 circle. (The numbers should be upside down, bottom meaning closer to the table)

STEP THREE Link to heading

Rinse the Filter and Preheat the Brewer Place the AeroPress filter inside the black filter cap and run hot water through the filter to rinse out any residual paper flavor. Fill the brewer with hot water to preheat it and carefully pour it out.

STEP FOUR Link to heading

Add coffee We recommend 17 grams or one rounded AeroPress scoop of fresh ground coffee per brew.

STEP FIVE Link to heading

Initial Pour You should bring the water just to a boil (electric kettles are great at this) and then let it cool for about 45 seconds. Starting your timer (set to one minute), pour just enough water into the brewer to saturate the grounds and bring the level up to about the top of the 3 circle. This should be about 50ml or 1/4 cup.

STEP SIX Link to heading

Stir Use the paddle to quickly stir the grounds into the water making sure there are no dry spots.

STEP SEVEN Link to heading

Final Pour As soon as you are done stirring, pour enough water to bring the total level to just above the 2 circle. This should be another 50ml or 1/4 cup bringing your total water volume to 100ml or about 1/2 cup.

STEP EIGHT Link to heading

Attach the Filter Place the rinsed filter assembly on top of the brewer and screw it tight.

STEP NINE Link to heading

Spin the Brewer When the timer goes off, carefully tip the brewer to a 45° angle and gently spin it for 10 seconds in order to softly stir the coffee.

STEP TEN Link to heading

Plunge the Coffee Quickly and carefully flip the brewer onto the top of your mug and begin the plunge. Use steady gentle pressure, allowing 15 to 25 seconds to finish, and stop as soon as you hear the first hiss of air escaping.

STEP ELEVEN Link to heading

Dilute and Enjoy Carefully flip the brewer upright and dilute the brew to taste with hot water (we recommend starting with 50/50). Back to top

Parameters

  • Water: 250 ml
  • Dosage: 16.7 g of coffee
  • Grind: Similar to table salt
  • Method: Non-inverted

Steps

  1. Heat up bottled water (via immersion/steaming pitcher or kettle, more than 250 ml)
  2. Grind the coffee directly into the Aeropress with the filter attached (remember, we’re going non-inverted here)
  3. After water boils, wait for water to cool down. Immersion: ~10-15 secs. Kettle: ~20-30 secs
  4. With non-inverted Aeropress on cup, pour ~40 mL of water to bloom coffee. Stir using mini-whisk. 20 secs total bloom time.
  5. Pour the rest of the water until you hit 250 ml. Quick stir to submerge all coffee grounds.
  6. Insert Aeropress piston at top to seal heat and stop drips. Brew for 1 minute.
  7. Press for roughly 25-30 secs. Stop before hiss.
