Brew Guide: How to Make Coffee with an AeroPress ☕

At Kafista, we believe great coffee doesn’t have to be complicated. The AeroPress is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to brew a smooth, rich cup at home — or anywhere. Here’s our go-to recipe using freshly roasted Kafista beans.

What You’ll Need

• 14g of Kafista coffee, freshly ground
• 200g of hot water (about 175°F / 80°C)
• AeroPress + paper filter
• Grinder
• Scale and timer (optional, but helpful!)

Step-by-Step Brewing

• Grind your coffee – Use a medium-fine grind, similar to table salt.
• Rinse your filter – Place a paper filter in the AeroPress cap and rinse it with hot water. This removes any paper flavor and warms your brewer.
• Add coffee – Place the AeroPress on your mug and pour in 14g of ground coffee.
• Start your timer & pour – Add 200g of hot water quickly, saturating all the grounds.
• Stir – Gently stir for about 10 seconds to ensure even extraction.
• Steep – Let it sit for 1 minute.
• Press – Insert the plunger and press slowly until you hear a gentle hiss.
• Enjoy your brew! – Sip it black to taste the unique notes of your Kafista roast or add milk for a smoother texture.
