How to Make the Perfect Aero Pressed Coffee at Work

October 23, 2009 by Bobby Ghoshal

Nick Zadrozny, our self confessed coffee-geek, shows us how to make the perfect cup of aero pressed coffee.

You will need:

  1. A coffee grinder
  2. An aero press
  3. A micro filter
  4. A stirrer
  5. A coffee mug
  6. Hot water
  7. Coffee (important!) 

After doing the math it looks like I spend approximate $125.00/month on coffee by going to our local barista. Nick buys a pound of coffee for $15.00 and it lasts him all month. That puts his daily coffee expenses at around $0.30 and mine at around $5.00 (I drink about 2 cups a day). The aero press is fun to do and it is going to save me a chunk of change. If you give it a go, let us know how it went!

In all fairness though Dan, I stood around and told you what to do. You did the fun part :) I am on cup number 4. Am I going to explode???

Yes! I'd probably brew some coffee of my own, but I'm lazy.

I Love it! It's so geeky but in a useful/great way. I need to stop spending so much money at Starbucks and start making it myself (as I am sitting here drinking my Starbucks coffee).

I now fully expect more of my coworkers to be getting in on the AeroPress action ;) Equipment in use here:

  • The AeroPress, 'natch. (Which you can get for $25 on Amazon.)
  • The Capresso Infinity burr grinder, one of the best for its price.
  • Any generously sized mug.
  • Any electric kettle is a good source of hot water. Or, you know, a microwave.
