The Optimal Coffee Grind for AeroPress Machine
When brewing your coffee using the AeroPress machine it is important to get your coffee grind correct. Here at Iron & Fire, we recommend that the grind has a consistency which is comparable to table salt, when looking on a coffee grinding chart this is measured as a medium-fine grind. Each coffee grind will be around 0.5mm in diameter and is placed between the fine espresso grind and the rougher grind which is used in French press coffee, a little smoother than sand. Not sure how to get the perfect grind for your AeroPress coffee? Our coffee experts can grind your coffee beans for you, to ensure that you are getting the perfect coffee grind.
History of the Aeropress Machine
Invented by the coffee enthusiast Alan Adler in, the AeroPress was a brewing method that was unique to anything the coffee industry had seen before. Adler aimed to reduce the bitterness of his daily coffee and the way he could do this was to limit the brewing time. Inspired by an espresso machine concept, the AeroPress swiftly pushes water through the puck taking advantage of human pressure instead of the electricity and levers that the espresso machine uses.
