AeroPress by April Coffee Roasters

Published by April Coffee, this upright AeroPress method pairs a low dose with a gentle bloom held beneath a seated plunger, followed by one main pour. It targets a light, juicy cup from bright Kenyan or Ethiopian light roasts.

Notes

Rinse the paper filter and seat the plunger immediately after blooming so the vacuum limits early drip-through. Keep agitation restrained and dial toward a tea-like body, vivid acidity, and low bitterness; a finer grind can add sweetness if the cup tastes thin.
