Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons ground medium-dark or dark roast coffee, such as Café Du Monde, or French, Italian, or Spanish roast
  • 2/3 cup hot water

Instructions

  • Assemble the Aeropress with a metal or paper filter in place and set over a coffee cup. Add the ground coffee, then shake the chamber to distribute. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the hot water to moisten and bloom the coffee. After the water passes through, about 30 seconds, add the remaining ½ cup hot water. Stir five times, then wait for the water to pass through until half of the original volume remains, 30 to 90 seconds. Slowly plunge to express the remaining coffee before serving.

Hot Coffee with Condensed Milk:

  • Add 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk to ½ cup hot coffee. Stir well to create a caramel-colored drink. Taste and, if it’s too intense, splash in hot water to dilute.

Iced Coffee with Condensed Milk:

  • Stir together ½ cup coffee with 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk. Put 4 or 5 ice cubes in a tall glass. Pour the coffee over the ice and stir with a long spoon or chopstick to chill and slightly dilute.
