Stock Zuppa Lunga

AeroPress by Lance Hedrick

Lance Hedrick's clear-column "Zuppa" percolation on a completely stock AeroPress — no attachment. A second paper filter disperses the pour and the plunger doubles as a tamper, brewing the clean, high-extraction 1:10 cup that usually needs a Joe Presso or Prismo.

Notes

No attachment required — that is the whole point. A stock AeroPress works with two paper filters and a plunger tamp. Tamp trick: dose, level the bed, lay a second paper filter on top, then push the bare plunger down to tamp. Twist and pull it out slowly so the puck stays intact. Press that top filter back onto the bed. It is a dispersion screen — pour onto it so the stream never craters the grounds, building a clear column of water above the puck. Use rested coffee so you can brew hot. Fresh, gassy coffee lifts the top filter and forces immersion; drop toward 70°C if that happens, at the cost of extraction. A hard, fast push drives fines into the cup, so keep the press gentle. Lift to break the vacuum once it bottoms out. Insert the plunger carefully after pouring: knock the brewer and the top filter unseats, which lets the immersion in. Ratio is to taste: anything from 1:3 up to 1:13 works. Grind matches Hedrick's OXO Zuppa — go finer if water shoots through, coarser if it stalls.
