Each step of the brewing process for the AeroPress manipulates the taste in a subtle way.

Learning how makes it easy to tweak a cup to your liking.

A slow, steady press also reduces acidity.

Choose to bloom and youll saturate the grounds evenly to get a sweeter-tasting result.

Using water at higher temperatures produces a more bitter taste.

Adding more water and less pressure will get you closer to brewed coffee.

The AeroPress is all about tinkering, so it makes sense that slight modifications can change the flavor.

The fun, of course, is figuring out exactly how you like it.
