- 1st Place 2024 World AeroPress Championship Recipe by George Stanica from Romania
Steps:
1. Start by measuring 18g of coffee.
2. Grind the coffee to a medium-coarse consistency. (Comandante C40 Mk4 with Red Clix, 58 clicks or ~870 µm)
3. Rinse 1 Aesir paper filter with hot water.
4. Prepare the AeroPress in the inverted position, aligning it around the 4th mark.
5. Add the ground coffee to the AeroPress and give it a gentle shake to level the grounds.
6. Pour 50g of water heated to 96°C using a Melodrip, taking 5-6 seconds.
7. Let the coffee bloom for 30 seconds.
8. Pour another 50g of water over 5-6 seconds.
9. Stir the mixture gently in a North-South-East-West (NSEW) pattern for 10 seconds.
10. Turn off the kettle and remove the kettle lid.
11. At 1:20, place the cap on the AeroPress and gently press to remove excess air for about 10 seconds.
12. Swirl the AeroPress gently and place it on your server.
13. At 1:35, start pressing gently, aiming to complete the press within 30-40 seconds until you have 76-79g of coffee.
14. Add warm water to the brew until the total weight reaches 130-135g.
15. Add 20-30g of room-temperature 0 ppm water for balance.
16. Serve and enjoy your championship-winning coffee!
Water: Mix of Aquacode diluted to ~85-90ppm with 0ppm water, 96°C for extraction, Room temperature for 0ppm

Interesting method. So it’s a quick brew with higher starting coffee dose that avoids extracting bitter compounds. For aeropress, my typical coffee ratio is 1:16 (230g/14g) and I based on my grind setting I dial in my brew time between 3:30-4:30 for light to medium roasts. This new method you’re sharing speeds up brew time but uses up more beans. Even though I’m happy with my method but I’ll try anything once if only for scientific curiosity.
Excellent video. It is indeed weak at 13% extraction with 870 microns. Will try again grinding finer. Thanks.
"making coffee is not rocket science"
the recipe:
Great video! Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Isn’t the whole point of Aeropress is for convenience? It starts getting more complicated. I just want a damn coffee without driving in a 15 degrees temp
I agree that it should be convenient for a daily routine. My personal favourite is the 2021 world aeropress recipe. 81 degrees, no dilution and overall easy to make in the morning
That’s a lot of faffing about but you know what, if you are enjoying the coffee then have at it ❤😊
That clear AP looks so nice! :D
It is totally worth getting one! I really recommend it
@ I own two others. Cant justify haha
I understand but this one is special :D
Do a blind taste test and see if you can tell the difference when pouring the water in without Melodrip and just stirring however you want instead of NSEW
The goal of the video is to demonstrate the recipe. The Melodrip allows you to get all the coffee grounds evenly wet. You can do this recipe without the Melodrip if you pour correctly. The NSEW stirring method is used to guide people on how to stir effectively and to avoid overextraction by minimizing excessive agitation.
2023 recipe also hasn't been uploaded by aeropress. Maybe you can make that one as well? Newer recipes look more interesting since they put a limit on the amount of g of coffee you can use
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely make a video about it. I have one other video planned first, but right after that, I’ll cover the 2023 1st place recipe.
The 2023 recipe is now available on the channel!
Please explain why ? for every complicated step included in this recipe to help us understand better about the science behind it
Hi! I’m not the creator of this recipe. That credit goes to George Stanica. My goal with this video was to provide a visual version of his recipe, which is currently only available in written form online. In the future, I plan to post a video diving into the different variables that affect brewing with an Aeropress, so stay tuned!
That coffee looks like dilute tea
It is not the strongest coffee, but not extremely weak. You should give it a try!
Has this been uploaded to the Aeromatic app yet? i'm not seeing it
Hey instead of NSEW pattern, can I do SWNENWSE? How will it affect the taste? /s if not obvious
You stir in your AeroPress for one or more of the following reasons:
1. You maken sure all coffee grounds are equally wet. This usually happens in the beginning of the recipe.
2. You try to break the crust on top before plunging.
3. Stirring allows you to extract more (long story short), but you have to watch out for not overextracting your coffee.
I hope this explains to you why George has the specific instructions on how to stir your coffee. It might seem redundant at first but there is a logic behind stirring.
@PierreHomeBarista I stir in my AeroPress as well. I just found it a bit funny/ridiculous that there needs to be a pattern to stirring so I was taking a jab at that part. I don't think it's any different than stirring in a clockwise/counterclockwise pattern
Yeah no problem man! It is mainly for beginners to not make the mistake and stirring way too much
damm that really really lovely
Espresso drinkers: is this water?
Yes, 98%
Why too much dilution?
It is not too much diluted. It is just not extremely strong. Give it a try I would say!
...and than you put milk right? Too much water add at the end... 😢
Diluting with +-75g of water is not uncommon. The 1st place 2023 World Aeropress Championships recipe diluted with +-80g of water. Of course you have to adjust the recipe to what you like the most
How come all these world championship winners make tea water? Looks so weak 👀
it sure ain't espresso :)
it depends on what aspect they're trying to emphasize, I find that many of the championship brews go for the sweetest brew they can get, by making a concentrate and diluting it to a temperature where the sweetness is even more prominent, they can really pull out something unique enough to stand out from the other competitors.
Well these types of brewing are often being compared to tea in general. Especially when we have to explain it to laypeople. So while it isn't actually weak, it is indeed "weak" if you're comparing it to other extraction methods (i.e.: espresso).
@@edoalva48weak coffee is weak coffee no matter what process you use.
@@tl924 Sure. Filter beans are mostly light roast.
Looks way too watery
I was thinking the same thing when I first read the recipe. You end up with 150g-165g which is not too watery in my opinion, but it is not a very strong cup. You should give it a try
@@PierreHomeBarista does the total brewing time is apriximately 2 minutes?
Agree with not to strong, try finer grind or longer stir
@ebeneZr nah... it's okay, soft yes...
Yes, you should finish pressing around 2:05-2:15. The total press is about 30-40 seconds.
Imo you should be diluting it every time with most extraction methods
aeropress should be the simple method... but this recipe definitely not one
Credits to George for winning the world championship with this recipe but I agree with you. This is not simple at all to make
1:8 ratio coffee yield with such a complicated method. Even if it is better it's really inefficient with beans and overly complicated...
It is definitely not a daily routine recipe...
is that grind about as coarse as for a pour over?
It is coarser. Around 870 µm. Iwould advice you to use this website to find how much that is approximately for your grinder: honestcoffeeguide.com/coffee-grind-size-chart/?
