I use the winning recipe from the world championship, from the second one (2009). You like brew the coffee for 15 seconds and then done. I only use 14g max, but it's basically instant coffee that tastes like great coffee.
Ahh I found it:
Coffee: 19.5–20g Grind: Slightly coarser than filter grind Water: 200ml @ 75°C Brewer: Inverted Filter: Paper, soaked
Directions:
- Stir 4 times
- Stop stirring, secure the filter and turn at around 10 seconds (total contact time around 15 sec.)
- Press and serve
I've used it on decaf medium roast, Kona, and my current Kona blend and it works great, but I needed to adjust the amount of coffee as it can brew pretty strong for my tastes. I go between 14g and 12g of coffee and use a grind size equal to that I use on the V60, which is 26/27 on my Encore ESP.
I use water that's 175 F, which is close enough. I also put in more water... I have the plunger pulled all the way below the number 4 and pour water all the way to just before the top to leave a small space to stir without making a mess. I think it's like 225 or so ml. I use a chopstick to stir.
I also see a few other second places ones that are only a few steps. For me the aeropress recipe needs to be like 4 steps and take under a minute.
