Step-by-step
- Heat water to 185°F (85°C) using your kettle. If you don’t have a temperature control kettle, use boiling water.
- Pull Plunger to separate entirely from Chamber.
- Insert Paper Filter into Filter Cap and twist Filter Cap onto Chamber.
- Stand Chamber on sturdy mug and add 1 heaping Scoop or 16-18 grams store-bought, medium ground coffee.
- Shake gently to level coffee. Pour water up to the 4 marked on side of Chamber. You will hear some coffee drip through into the mug. This is a normal part of the process.
- Stir gently for about 3 seconds. Quickly insert Plunger about ½ inch into Chamber, then pull up slightly to create a vacuum to stop drip-through. Wait 60 seconds.
- Press down on the Plunger, applying gentle constant pressure (do not push too hard). Press until you hear the hissing sound begin and end, an indication the last bit of brew has passed through the coffee bed and your coffee is ready.
- FILTER CAP IS HOT. Run Filter Cap under cool water before removing, or use cloth to remove. Position coffee press over sink or garbage bin and push Plunger the rest of the way through Chamber until you hear the pop as the coffee bed “puck” pops out.
- Discard Paper Filter and rinse Filter Cap and coffee press. Clean with lukewarm water, gentle soap, and a gentle cloth every week to preserve the life of your AeroPress Premium.
- Enjoy the uniquely smooth, rich, full-bodied flavor of an AeroPress 3 in 1 Brew.

FAQ
The AeroPress differs from a French Press in three key ways: it uses air pressure for rapid extraction which reduces bitterness, a paper micro-filter that eliminates grit for a smoother cup, and a much shorter brew time of about a minute.
With the AeroPress 3 in 1 brew method, you can make a rich, smooth cup of coffee in about a minute.
The AeroPress produces a uniquely versatile cup of coffee with a 3-in-1 flavor profile: it's full-bodied like a French Press, smooth like a Pour-Over, and rich like an espresso, all without any grit or high acidity.
Yes, cleanup is famously fast. After pressing, the plunger pushes the used coffee grounds and filter out in a compact, dry 'puck' that can be popped directly into the trash or compost. A simple rinse of the plunger is all that's needed."
