An AeroPress is a great way to brew the perfect cup of coffee. This brewing method gives you complete control over the flavour and strength of your coffee.
When it comes to coffee, everyone has their personal preferences. For example, some people prefer stronger cups of coffee, whereas others prefer their coffee slightly weaker.
There is no right or wrong coffee-to-water ratio; however, there is something we like to call the ‘golden ratio’ when it comes to brewing coffee using an AeroPress.
So, what is the best coffee-to-water ratio for an AeroPress? Well, there’s only one way to find out… read our article for more!
Simply put, the coffee to water ratio refers to the amount of water used to the amount of ground coffee.
It’s a key factor that affects the strength, flavour and quality of your coffee. Using a balanced ratio ensures that your coffee isn’t too weak or too strong.
As mentioned before, there is no right or wrong coffee-to-water ratio; however, there is a recommended coffee-to-water ratio that unlocks the full flavour of your coffee.
Not only this, but it’s also important to ensure that your coffee isn’t too weak or too strong. Knowing the coffee-to-water ratio is key to creating the perfect cup of coffee.
Generally speaking, we would recommend a ratio of 16g of coffee to 200ml of water as a starting point. But, what if you wanted a weaker or stronger cup of coffee? Here are your options:
The rule of thumb is to increase the amount of coffee and decrease the amount of water for a stronger brew. However, for a weaker brew, you will need to decrease the amount of coffee and increase the amount of water used.
The strength of your coffee can also affect how strong your final cup tastes. For example, a dark roast will taste stronger compared to a light roast.
The ideal water temperature when brewing coffee using an AeroPress is 94 degrees Celsius. So, if you have an electric kettle, make sure to keep an eye on the temperature.
If you have a regular kettle, make sure to boil the water and let it sit for a few minutes to allow for better extraction.
The ideal coffee-to-water ratio comes down to your personal preference. For example, if you prefer stronger coffee, you are best increasing the amount of coffee, whereas if you like a weaker brew, make sure to reduce the amount of coffee you use.
So, remember, there is no right or wrong amount of coffee-to-water ratio; it all comes down to what you prefer and the strength of the coffee you’re using.
