Hey Mike. Thanks so much for watching the video. I’m so so stoked that you enjoyed the recipe. It’s definitely different to what I had been doing for a long time!
No need to pre-wet the tiny filters of the AeroPress. Do a triangle test. You'll see it's fine. Starting with a flat bed before adding the water is meaningless with immersion, especially when doing such a long one. Everything else about the recipe is spot on good stuff for the style of brew you seem to be going for, robust against most variables.
i like your philosophy of using as less equipment as you can, it takes me less time and effect than the average joe to brew a cup of coffee every day .
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the support! ❤️ I’d recommend you try it, but if you don’t have time, have a look at this recipe aeroprecipe.com/recipes/james-hoffmann-aeropress-recipe by James Hoffman. It’s significantly shorter but still super tasty!
Fortunately not. The thermal stability in the AeroPress is pretty good, so you won't see huge temperature drops 👍🏼 Would be very different for other brew methods though
a few question i would like to ask. 1. What is the water temperature in this case? I take it as Light Roast = 100 degree celcius 2. Does the volume of the water vary? Or any specific ratio to start with?
Hey there. Thanks so much for watching my video - I really appreciate it. It’s a fair question. I typically use filter roasts for my AeroPress, so water temperature would be between 95-98C. To be quite honest, I haven’t experimented with this much, so I might actually do that. Volume of water would stay the same. I’ve written an article on this recipe with a lot more detail - you can read it here conversationcoffee.au/2023/04/30/a-pretty-dope-guide-on-how-to-aeropress/ I hope this has helped you! Thanks again for watching the video 🙏🏼
How many clicks do you have on your commandante? Really like your style of explaining things. I started about a year ago in doing better coffee at home. I also use the Aeropress the most. I also grind with the commandante.
Thank you so so much! I really appreciate the feedback! I'd recommend starting at 18 clicks and experimenting from there. I personally wouldn't go that much finer than 18. Hope this helps!
FWIW, Sey Coffee (great Nordic-style roaster in Brooklyn) uses an Aeropress/Prismo recipe in-house. They use a 5 minute steep with no agitation and grind to 4.5 on their EK43. From what I’ve been able to figure out that translates to about 15 clicks on a Comandante.
Hey Raphael, I've been trying to think of the best and most concise way to respond to your comment, and while I will provide some input, I honestly think @jameshoffmann summarises it quite well here th-cam.com/video/jBXm8fCWdo8/w-d-xo.html. The AeroPress is tricky in that it limits what you can do in terms of brew ratio. While this isn't the worst thing ever, it can sometimes result in a lot of inconsistencies. Having a lot of choices is tough sometimes 😬 The more coffee you use, the less water you can use. Lower brew ratios result in less desirable extraction yields. Brewing for longer allows you to use a lower brew ratio but still saturates coffee grounds well, resulting in a higher extraction yield and a more balanced, desirable cup.

I hope this helps!
I’ve been using a Kalita Wave to make pour over for myself for the past few years. I really enjoy it, but I’ve also had my eyes on an Aeropress. Just got one and will be trying this recipe. Thanks!
Hey Benjamin. This can vary based on the type of coffee you're using. Typically lighter roasts prefer higher temps, so above 90c is recommended and is what I used in this recipe.
Hey mate! Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm pretty sure I do mention how much to dose. In terms of water temperature, I personally don't find that this has a noticeable impact on the recipe, especially if you stick to 90c. You can read the article I wrote (conversationcoffee.au/2023/04/30/a-pretty-dope-guide-on-how-to-aeropress/) to get more clarity if you feel I haven't explained it as well in the video. I hope this helps you! Thanks again for watching :)
Using terms like just short in regards to grind size is useless to me. What the hell do you mean? Say finer or coarser then normal would be appreciated. Also, just tell me the weight of the water not just almost to the top. I really rely on measurements not almosts. I will try this though.
Does not make sense to recommend using this recipe for both factory and Fellow Prismo filter. I have the Prismo cap, it is designed to emulate espresso like coffee and is completely different from the Aeropress built in filter. You will have completely different results from the same recipe for the 2 filters.
Hey John! Thanks for watching and for your feedback. The recipe isn’t focused on producing AeroPress espresso. I believe there are probably better ways of achieving that. The focus of this recipe is to achiever better extraction, so the use of the prismo is actually to reduce bypass. Using the prismo is obviously going to produce a better tasting cup, and I’m not saying that without it you’d get the same result. I’m saying that this recipe works well with both, however best with the prismo. 🙏🏼
I love this recipe and have used it with the Prismo, Prismo + Aesir paper filter, and standard cap + paper filter - the results are nearly identical. You get a cleaner cup using a paper filter, but the acidity, sweetness, and overall flavor are basically the same - far from “completely different.”
FYI - Prismo is just a pressure-actuated valve. Yes it can be used to build up pressure for espresso-like concentrated coffees but it can be used in filter-strength recipes that usually call for the inverted method.
Thanks for your feedback, Joe! I would agree, it's not a recipe I'd recommend to anyone that might be time poor, but if you're up for something new, it's a winner. Appreciate you watching that far btw!
Jacques is being too kind with his response, so I’ll be blunt - Alan Adler’s recipe isn’t the end-all be-all of Aeropressing… speed isn’t the goal for everyone using this brew tool. There are so many ways to get great tasting coffee out of an Aeropress. That’s why there’s such a big community of users and hundreds of recipes to try. If the reason YOU bought one was speed then that’s great! Keep doing you. But there is no “the point” when it comes to coffee or using an Aeropress. It’s a piece of equipment that can be manipulated in many ways to get different flavors. Open your mind and try this brew recipe with some delicious beans - you won’t be sorry.
Tried it, and it was good. I was surprised at how hot the coffee was after 9 minutes. I didn’t expect that!

Planning to buy that, go thing i saw your video. 9 mins is too long for me haha. Subbed!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the support! ❤️

This 9 minutes recipe is kinda extreme, most, and by most I mean 99% of the recipes will be under 2 minutes, so that you know :)
Footage looks clean 🧼
Thanks bro ❤
Quick question about grind. You say a little below filter. Do you mean coarser? I think so but wanted to confirm. Thanks for the video.
Slightly finer than what you’d use for filter, but not too fine. What grinder are you using?
@@jacquesvanwyngaard Thank you. I use the 1Zpresso JX-Pro hand grinder.
I’ve never used it, but after doing a bit of reading I’d recommend using between 42-46 clicks. Try that out and let me know how you go! 🙏🏼
Does brewing for 9 minutes make the coffee get cold? Or does it keep its temp?
Fortunately not. The thermal stability in the AeroPress is pretty good, so you won't see huge temperature drops 👍🏼 Would be very different for other brew methods though
@@jacquesvanwyngaard awesome! Thanks!

Absolute pleasure! Hope the Kalita is also treating you well! 🙏🏼

Use 100
just below? what do you mean coarser or finer?
Hey there! Finer than what you would usually use for filter :). Thanks for watching! I really appreciate the support!
Can't help but notice how similar your method is to standard French Press.
Yes, it definitely shares some similarities!
If you’ve brewed the coffee, the least you could do is take a taste.
There was plenty of tasting that happened off camera, that’s for sure!
why not say water temp and weight in the video? You have thing on the scale

Well, isn’t that different?
Sure is! Try it and see how you go. I’d strongly recommend getting the Prismo to get the most out of the recipe
9 minutes is way too long to brew,it defeats the whole purpose of it,my advice,watch the video made by the INVENTOR himself,one man's opinion.
Thanks for your feedback, Joe! I would agree, it's not a recipe I'd recommend to anyone that might be time poor, but if you're up for something new, it's a winner. Appreciate you watching that far btw!
