WAC 2010 Third

AeroPress by Jeff Verellen

Jeff Verellen's third-place recipe from the 2010 World AeroPress Championship pairs a very slow pour with rotation of the brewer base. A long settling phase and careful plunge favor clarity and composure.

Notes

Rinse the paper filter well. A funnel and stainless-steel cup can steady the narrow pour while you rotate the AeroPress base. Keep the final plunge slow and stop before the hiss to leave the harshest trapped liquid behind.
