Add a coffee filter to the filter cap of your AeroPress.

4. Add filter cap

Add the filter cap to the bottom of the AeroPress cylinder. Make sure it's tightened correctly.

Flip the AeroPress and place it on a mug of choice. Add the ground coffee into the cylinder.

6. Add boiling water

Add the boiling water to the AeroPress and start the blooming process.

7. Stir the coffee

Stir the coffee with the stirring wand for 10 seconds before moving on.

8. Add the plunger

After stirring for 10 seconds, remove the stirring wand. Add the plunger and press down.
