Inverted Shot

AeroPress by James Hoffmann

James Hoffmann's inverted AeroPress concentrate is intended as an espresso-style base for milk drinks. An extra-fine grind and low water volume create a compact, forceful cup that remains present under steamed milk.

Notes

This is the inverted outlier among Hoffmann's AeroPress methods, so secure the plunger carefully. Press through the hiss to maximize the small yield, aiming for 65-70g concentrate, then add steamed milk while the coffee is hot.
