  2. Pull Aeropress plunger out completely from the chamber.
  3. Wet paper filter until completely damp and place into filter cap. Twist filter cap into chamber.
  4. Place chamber on mouth of mug securely. Add 16-18 grams of medium ground coffee.
  5. Shake coffee gently to level and then pour water up to highest number marking on the chamber, typically 3 or 4.
  6. Use spoon to gently stir coffee and water together.
  7. Insert plunger 1/2 an inch into the chamber then pull up gently to create a vacuum effect.
  8. After 60 seconds, press the plunger down with constant pressure, firmly but gently. You will notice the brewing has finished once you can no longer hear air leaving the chamber.
  9. Clean the Aeropress and dispose of used coffee. Your cup of coffee is ready to enjoy!
