Was your reaction as big as mine? I hope this made you smile today 🙂 I also want to shout out Wendelien Van Bunnik - the reigning aeropress world champion for this amazing recipe. Link in the description for both recipes.
That's what was so great about this recipe. It wasn't trying to be the best ever but it encapsulates exactly what the Aeropress is about. Simple and straightforward. Don't rinse your filter, don't bother inverting, embrace the hiss and use boiling water. An every day coffee. What a hero!
As I recall, James said that a light roast can tolerate water right out of the kettle, but that medium and dark roasts might benefit from a slightly longer wait to get down to around or even below 200°.
Hilariously he just released something for dark roasts. His recipe (which vastly improved my coffee, as normal) is half boiling water into your preferred method, drop the temp to 80, then pour the other half of the water in.
I have been making Aeropress too strong and sloppy for years. James’s recipe changed the way I drink and taste coffee. At first the flavors were subtle and now I realize they were just drowning before in overly bold coffee. This recipe allows things to come forward and leaves the best aftertaste. Brilliant video too Kyle we love ya!
I thought it was kind of funny that James’ take on the Aeropress was almost exactly what I gravitated into after more than a decade of brewing with it at least once daily, mostly out of progressive laziness and familiarity
Best every day coffee, smooth, easy to drink, perfect strength, no messing around with temperatures etc, I can't be bothered to stand making my coffee for 30 minutes in the morning haha
I had stopped rinsing and inverting way before. I finally stopped blooming and tbh most of my variable on the Aeropress ends up being dose and grind size.
I can't believe I missed your video when it came out. Your intro perfectly encapsulated people I make fun of on there internet while secretly feeling exactly the same.
James also did a 30g championship brew and said roughly what you said, big, bold flavours to stand out for judges, but not necessarily a daily brew. I have now adopted the JH recipe and am tinkering with grind size.
Tbh a lot of the world championship recipes use absurd amounts of coffee for the amount of liquid you end up with. It’s not really sustainable to be using ~30g for 200ml of coffee every day
I love both recipes!! I use a medium blend for the world champion brew and a dark for James recipe. I also do a 15 grams to 250 grams ratio inverted for everyday. Works for me
Have used Aeropress for over 4 years. Inverted method is POA. Have used simular technique as James Holfman, just say his first video today. I do pour just an ounce or two of water in stir then top off to top and press. No waiting.jLove my AeroPress. I do mix up technique every now and then to make sure I am not missing something., but have found basic technique works great every time.
I thought this was going to be a joke video with the huge smile and overall starting presentation here. However it instead was a wonderfully humble and warming video to watch.
I've been getting more serious and pickier about my coffee lately. I'd been taking my french press to work to make my daily coffee, but wasn't totally happy with it. After watching Jame's Aeropress series I was instantly sold on it. Before I'd seen the Aeropress around, but assumed it was some kind of bougie tool for coffee snobs. I've been using the Aeropress and Jame's recipe ever since and have been trying to sell everyone I know on one too.
My ultimate recepi : 11g coffie not very fine grinded and not a very strong coffee, 1 paperfilter washed out, filtered water to 75-80°C depends on coffee, aeropress on cup, stirl 15 seconds and press gently ! Try and give me ur thoughts, every coffee will taste great ! Its not difficult to make great coffee with aeropress and good beans. Greatings from germany !
James is about causality of coffee and clarity. It’s the balanced, clear, beautiful cup of coffee you’d want to drink everyday. Who would want to open their mornings with a steak everyday?
2019 , for me is TOO big. I normally drink double shot espresso so appreciate strong coffee taste. James' 11g cup was a suprise to me. Using a med roast Ethiopian been with a cupping note of strong floral tones. These tones came through in a gentle way leaving a pleasing aftertaste which was not the case with the former. I now will be making Mr Hoffman's recipe on a daily basis, and may even forego espresso for the forseeable future.
You're summary is exactly how James describes it himself. It's not designed to stand out from 100 other cups for a judge, rather a great cup you can drink twice a day.
To be honest, James‘ recipe is not that different from what the original recipe was that I learned to brew the AeroPress with: I learned to take 15g medium fine grind for 250g water, letting the coffee steep for 1,5 minutes right after pouring all water in and stirring a little. Thus, the end result to me does not taste that different to what my usual recipe was anyway. Actually, I was even surprised that he chose to use 5,5g coffee per 100g of water since in an earlier video he explained more coffee would be needed to achieve the same extraction for percolation brew methods. However he emphasised that he chose the lower dose to highlight the fruiter notes of the light roast he had. All in all it’s a nice and easy go to recipe.
Kyle, my man you’re excitement for this video is phenomenal. Love it. I know what I will be doing for tomorrow morning. 🔥🔥🔥 As always coffee over caffeine.
Wholesome video is lovely. ☺️ (I’ve been using James’ recipe for a while now, and it is indeed perfect for everyday brewing. I use it in my office twice daily in fact!)
Hi Kyle.. great video 😊 I’d like to know if AeroPress can brew a coffee similar to a real espresso. I know it won’t be the same, but as long as the result is close enough, it would be fine. I’m asking this because currently I don’t have budget to buy a good quality espresso machine. Second question, would you recommend AeroPress or Bialetti Moka Express to make a better espresso-like coffee? Thanks.
I love the 3 cup bialetti, with a clean gasket, new every few months. Moka is set and forget. I like the aero press. But first thing in the morning the moka is an easier ritual to wake up. But I am thinking 2 aeropress allow to compare 2 different coffees beans at the same time, more consistently than with other methods. You can easily find open box bialetti moka pots on auction sites. The 3 cup is the perfect size for a 200 ml cup
Great video. I had switched my daily Aeropress recipe to Mr.Hoffman's, simple & great tasting, just need to tweak the grind & water temp to adapt to the beans that I'm using
Great video. I like James Hulfman. Want to know his Apress technique. But I just can’t watch 5 videos to see how to make a simple coffee. Unless I’m on vacation and just want some relaxing plane time. You gave it to me in 20 seconds. Now I’m doing it.
There was a recent video by Mad Scientist BBQ were Harry Soo taught him how to make a competition brisket. Harry's insight gave me a whole new perspective on anything taste related in the competition realm. With a competition brisket you have to go big and bold to stand out to the judges who are tasting many entries. I suspect it is similar with coffee competitions. A World championship recipe may be great for the first sip or so, but may be too overwhelming and lack nuance for a daily driver.
4:20 Not sure this is how JH does it. If I rember well, he moves the unit a few times in a circle, making a gentle swirl before pushing the plunger down.
Wow what a coincidence that he did the same in the very last video. It's great that you had the same idea and we can now get the opinions of both of you on the same comparison, which I think is even better than just James'. Nice video Kyle!
Cool video, and very gracious of you to give kudos to a fellow YT coffee blogster... I got my first Aeropress today, so am jazzed to be exploring all these options... thanks.
Great video Kyle! Question for you: how does Hoffmann’s aeropress compare to Hoffmann’s V60? Or maybe another pour over recipe you like? I have an aeropress but have always been attracted to the craft of pour over. Just not sure if there’s a huge flavor difference. Love to hear your thoughts!
Good question! A v60 has a vastly different flavour than that of the AeroPress. One being percolation and another immersion... I think having a V60 would be worth investigating.
There is not "one" aeropress recipe that will suit all people and all sorts of coffee. A recipe will only ever be perfect to suit your personal taste. In Vienna (Austria), we have several roasters that will give you a recipe for each of their roasts and coffees as a guideline, because they know this specific coffee, but this is where you start to get close to what you like. Don't let people tell you, what you like! (That includes me, of course!) :-)
Interesting! I know all grinders vary, but I was curious where other niche users were at. I started out in the 20-30 range and was getting some astringency/lack of acidity. In the 30-40 range the coffees are popping a lot more for me. Keep up the great content, Kyle!
@@KyleRowsell If I could go back in time, I'd say that I'm excited for you. When I found the Aeropress, I brewed in nothing else for years. I'm rather stuck on v60 now but rediscover the Aeropress every couple months for a while. But it's my staple at work and for travel.
Yeah, I tried both side by side as well. The competition one is like an explosive get in your face military trumpet wake up call cup, James's is a kinder more have a relaxing morning waking up cup that I like on my days off. The competition is a bigger explosion get up there buddy cup I prefer when I am working because it gets you ready to get out the door quick if you know what I mean.
from a 7min video I expected to at least learn what the two recipies are, but well... if one wants to watch a very excited coffee- and james-fan - a great place to be :D
I've been doing some ridicoulus experiments myself with the aeropress .... Finer gindsize than espresso (nearing turkish really) 10+min steeptimes. Best part is, it does not taste overextracted
I tried Hoffman’s recipe but didn’t like it. I prefer med/dark roasts Tim Wendelboe’s recipe is my go to daily. 14g to 200g 95C water using the inverted method then change the grind size as the only variable Idk why but I much prefer inverted brewing.
30 g in a single cup? Definitely a recipe designed to leave an impression on judges who take one sip of your brew. I use 30 g to make 500 mL. A large dose at a low temperature would give a nice flavour, though. Worth trying, but definitely not every day.
Even though there are likely better brew methods than James Hoffmann’s recipe, when I pull out the aero press I just want something quick. James’ method is very similar to what I do. The whole aero press experience is just not as therapeutic as say doing a pour over in the morning. That’s probably why I never invested time to perfect my technique.
This video gave me more questions than answers and left out some context. I don't like research so I will share what I discovered, so you don't have to and add some context. I could not find Wendelien's recipe on her site, but I found it here. th-cam.com/video/SEOOCkU01A8/w-d-xo.html There is one change to the standard equipment, she used an Aesir Filter. If you can't get them you can use 2 normal AeroPress filters. 1. 30g of what looks like medium roast coffee coarsely ground 7/10 in an inverted AeroPress. Note: Everyone at the World Aeropress championship uses the same coffee. 2. Pour 100g of the softest water you can find at 92C within 10 seconds. She used Spa Blauw (30ppm). 3. Stir firmly 20 times within 10 seconds. 4. Put the filter cap with rinsed filter on the brewer and gently press out excess air. 5. At 40 seconds, flip the AeroPress and press out all coffee. 6. Add 120g of 92C water to the extracted coffee. 7. Cool the brew down to roughly 60°C (140°F) by stirring and decanting. I tried Wendelien's recipe with my light roast and felt it was under extracted. I will revisit this with a medium roast or decrease my grind size and raise the temperature of the water a bit. The context missing from James's recipe is that it is based on his bias of lightly roasted coffee. He does address it in his video but it is not mentioned here, so here's the short version. 1. 11g Of close to espresso grind size, light roast coffee in an AeroPress setup for the standard method. As the roast on your coffee increases, so should your grind size. Darker coffee = a coarser grind. 2. 200g of water at 100C. If you have a temperature controlled kettle, shoot for 90-95C for medium roast coffee and as low as 85C for a dark roast. Affix the plunger. 3. Wait 2 minutes, then grab the AeroPress with one hand and the cup with the other and give it a gentle stir. You are trying to break up the crust on the top, not create a vortex. 4. Wait 30 seconds then gently press out the coffee. Pressing out the coffee should take another 30 seconds. I use James's recipe at 15g/260g (it fits), it's fast and simple.

The intro made me 😄
The entire video 💕
FWIW, the links to the 2019 WAC recipe and IG account do not function anymore.
The recipe isn’t there anymore

Brilliant video too Kyle we love ya!
Champions recipe is for when you have too much beans left and you want to try other beans from your favorite roaster😅
😂😂😂😂
I thought it was kind of funny that James’ take on the Aeropress was almost exactly what I gravitated into after more than a decade of brewing with it at least once daily, mostly out of progressive laziness and familiarity
I love the simplicity and the fact that I use less coffee to accomplish what is arguably a more enjoyable experience.
Same!!! Amazing.
Best every day coffee, smooth, easy to drink, perfect strength, no messing around with temperatures etc, I can't be bothered to stand making my coffee for 30 minutes in the morning haha
if there is one thing last year taught us, it is normally is underrated. I'm really looking forward to normal morning riture again
I had stopped rinsing and inverting way before. I finally stopped blooming and tbh most of my variable on the Aeropress ends up being dose and grind size.
This guy must have huge calves. He won't stop moving up and down.
Gordon Ramsay vibes
That's like me 1/2 hour after coffee, until drowsiness kicks in again
Lol, that’s what I was thinking! Too much coffee Kyle!,
Great video… I recently read that for the 2021 WAC, they changed the rules. AeroPress recipes are now required to use 18g or less of coffee.
Intro was a riot! 🤣
I started brewing James’ recipe daily with 15g of coffee (14 clicks on comandante) and 270g of water. I love it!
Do you max out the available volume when doing this?
@@PalEllingsen pretty much yes, I cant pour too fast if the coffee blooms a lot.
I like it when people say how many clicks on a comandante takes the guess work out of it.
Any guess as to what 14 clicks would be on an 1zpresso Jx pro?
It was nice to watch, you looked so excited and transmitted your passion very well. I had to stop midway to brew myself a cup.
Thanks!
I can't believe I missed your video when it came out. Your intro perfectly encapsulated people I make fun of on there internet while secretly feeling exactly the same.

Thank very much for this video. Totally appreciate your gentle, humorous and uplifting style !

How come i haven’t seen this masterpiece till now?? Just as i received my aeropress this popped up in my recommended.
Most anticipated video of my adult life. Been waiting for his recipe for years. 😎😎
30 grams coffee fine grind. Fill with water stir wait a min plunge. I love it oozing out of the press.

I tried Mr. Hoffmann's recipe and really enjoyed it. Will check into Weindelien's recipe next.

I’ve been enjoying Hoffmanns recipe the most. It leaves me wanting a tad more but nothing else gets me as close.
Good day Kyle, just got my aeropress today and tried this 2 great recipes, I liked them both, keep it up and stay safe.

Very funny Intro man - well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
There is not "one" aeropress recipe that will suit all people and all sorts of coffee. A recipe will only ever be perfect to suit your personal taste. In Vienna (Austria), we have several roasters that will give you a recipe for each of their roasts and coffees as a guideline, because they know this specific coffee, but this is where you start to get close to what you like. Don't let people tell you, what you like! (That includes me, of course!) :-)
Love how relatable the intro was! Just curious what number you ground at on the niche, for James' recipe?
every coffee is different. but between 20-30 is a good start
Interesting! I know all grinders vary, but I was curious where other niche users were at. I started out in the 20-30 range and was getting some astringency/lack of acidity. In the 30-40 range the coffees are popping a lot more for me.
Keep up the great content, Kyle!
I'm still new to coffee brewing and I Just ordered my First AeroPress cant wait to try different recipes :) Ps fun and great content as always men.
Hope you enjoy!
@@KyleRowsell If I could go back in time, I'd say that I'm excited for you. When I found the Aeropress, I brewed in nothing else for years. I'm rather stuck on v60 now but rediscover the Aeropress every couple months for a while. But it's my staple at work and for travel.
Dude, that face when the laptop opens! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The skit is great! :D
Yeah, I tried both side by side as well. The competition one is like an explosive get in your face military trumpet wake up call cup, James's is a kinder more have a relaxing morning waking up cup that I like on my days off. The competition is a bigger explosion get up there buddy cup I prefer when I am working because it gets you ready to get out the door quick if you know what I mean.
Absolutely. Thanks for sharing.
James needs to watch this!
Hey Kyle, what is that string piece at the beginning? Cheers mate great video
Haha nice video, I loved your spirit
Great comparison! What are your thoughts on Hoffman’s V60 to the Aeropress?
I believe they're two different brew methods and I wouldn't feel comfortable comparing them.
Daddy Hoff, as Lance Hedrick would say, the current king of coffee. 👑
I was born for that moment! anyway, I like your videos, I'll subscribe!
Thanks for joining along
I'm glad I stumbled upon this video, that intro is hilarious!
Glad you liked it!
Kyle you should try the no press aeropress. Prometheus does it and it’s awesome.
Great video!
Have you tried Michael Fabian's method with the Prismo? I'd like some thoughts on it in comparison to standard.
from a 7min video I expected to at least learn what the two recipies are, but well... if one wants to watch a very excited coffee- and james-fan - a great place to be :D
I assume he doesn't want to try to steal views from James Hoffmann's original video. :)
I've been doing some ridicoulus experiments myself with the aeropress .... Finer gindsize than espresso (nearing turkish really) 10+min steeptimes. Best part is, it does not taste overextracted
Because it isn’t
Love it Kyle!
Thanks for watching!
great idea!!! New sub.
I tried Hoffman’s recipe but didn’t like it. I prefer med/dark roasts
Tim Wendelboe’s recipe is my go to daily. 14g to 200g 95C water using the inverted method then change the grind size as the only variable
Idk why but I much prefer inverted brewing.
My biggest issue with the WAC recipes is how much coffee they use - ends up being the most expensive 240ml of coffee ever tasted
Nice video fun and informative, I use Alan Adler original AeroPress recipe most of the time. Coffee Time ☕️☕️😊
Hey man, great video!
Thank you
What exactly was Hofmans recipe? did you not have to swirl it and wait for two minutes before pressing? thanks
30 g in a single cup? Definitely a recipe designed to leave an impression on judges who take one sip of your brew. I use 30 g to make 500 mL. A large dose at a low temperature would give a nice flavour, though. Worth trying, but definitely not every day.

The whole aero press experience is just not as therapeutic as say doing a pour over in the morning. That’s probably why I never invested time to perfect my technique.
My thought the entire video: he looks so happy!
I was!
Any idea what the grind size for JH recipe would be on a Timemore C2?

This video gave me more questions than answers and left out some context. I don't like research so I will share what I discovered, so you don't have to and add some context.
I could not find Wendelien's recipe on her site, but I found it here. th-cam.com/video/SEOOCkU01A8/w-d-xo.html
There is one change to the standard equipment, she used an Aesir Filter. If you can't get them you can use 2 normal AeroPress filters.
1. 30g of what looks like medium roast coffee coarsely ground 7/10 in an inverted AeroPress. Note: Everyone at the World Aeropress championship uses the same coffee.
2. Pour 100g of the softest water you can find at 92C within 10 seconds. She used Spa Blauw (30ppm).
3. Stir firmly 20 times within 10 seconds.
4. Put the filter cap with rinsed filter on the brewer and gently press out excess air.
5. At 40 seconds, flip the AeroPress and press out all coffee.
6. Add 120g of 92C water to the extracted coffee.
7. Cool the brew down to roughly 60°C (140°F) by stirring and decanting.
I tried Wendelien's recipe with my light roast and felt it was under extracted. I will revisit this with a medium roast or decrease my grind size and raise the temperature of the water a bit.
The context missing from James's recipe is that it is based on his bias of lightly roasted coffee. He does address it in his video but it is not mentioned here, so here's the short version.
1. 11g Of close to espresso grind size, light roast coffee in an AeroPress setup for the standard method. As the roast on your coffee increases, so should your grind size. Darker coffee = a coarser grind.
2. 200g of water at 100C. If you have a temperature controlled kettle, shoot for 90-95C for medium roast coffee and as low as 85C for a dark roast. Affix the plunger.
3. Wait 2 minutes, then grab the AeroPress with one hand and the cup with the other and give it a gentle stir. You are trying to break up the crust on the top, not create a vortex.
4. Wait 30 seconds then gently press out the coffee. Pressing out the coffee should take another 30 seconds.
I use James's recipe at 15g/260g (it fits), it's fast and simple.
haha love the intro! So fun!
Glad you enjoy it!
