The recipe:
Inverted method
12g light roasted coffee
220ml boiling water
Fine grind size, just coarser than espresso grinds.
Add all water and coffee together at the start, using a teaspoon in a back and forth motion (no circular stirring) to saturate all the grounds.
At 7:30, flip the brewer onto your cup or serve and give two gentle swirls, then two back and forth motions to settle the bed of coffee. At 8:00, gently press the plunger down for a minute using only the weight of your arm.

Thanks. Nicely paced video.
Had almost given up on the Aeropress till I saw this recipe. Thank you very much. The sweetest cup ever. I don’t use the inverted method but still get good results. I exclusively use this for light roasts. Thank you once again.
You're very welcome. Let us know if there's anything else we could help you with on video.
@@bridgecoffeeroastersreference on a time more c2 grinder ? Or fellownode gen 2 ?
Just brewed with this method and it was flipping delicious. Thank you very much 💚
No problem at all!
Enlightening video. Just tried out your method and I can honestly say this has boosted the flavour of my light roast. Thank you 👍
Good stuff!
Thank you for this recipe! Got into Aeropress for the first time and this is the recipe I've tried. Crazy how I couldn't get the blueberry note doing pour over, but doing this, the blueberry note was very noticeable. Hard to go back to pour over from here.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What grind size number should I go with my paderno?
Looks great, but I'm missing the point of the no-circular stir here, you flip the aeropress, the bed scatters and rearrange itself after the flip no? probably not flat regardless of the stir? Am I wrong?
That's a good point actually! It's something Jonathan Gagne recommended when using the prismo but with the inverted method you're probably right, with the flip it'll likely undo itself. Thanks!
Great video! Can I do an Aeropress espresso with this bean?
You can't technically make an espresso on the aeropress, but you can get a very short and strong coffee with any bean you like
Interesting, this is already very similar to how I brew with the Aeropress, the biggest difference being the brew time.
Getting the right grind size tends to be challenging for me. What do you suggest on how many clicks if I am using Comandante C40? Then again it will be vary according to the roast level, beans process and etc.
Hi there, you need a pretty fine grind for this recipe, try 12 clicks and experiment from there. It's geared towards light roasts
@@bridgecoffeeroasters where do i start with the timemore c3 esp
@Mehwhatevr I don't have an ESP, but I do have a C3 Pro. I use setting 13 typically for my Aeropress. Not sure if that's helpful or not, but hopefully it is
@@zacharyreed2347 It could be. I don't know anything about this stuff. I'm going to check and see if there's a conversion chart of some kind. like maybe they tell us what size particles each setting produces :)
@@zacharyreed2347 Ok I found a chart giving the grind size of each setting. it's not "official" but I'll give it a shot. 13 looks to be medium-fine about 500 micrometers.
the equivalent on my ESP would be about 1.5 rotations from 0. I'm grinding much finer than this at the moment. I'll brew a second cup in a few minutes and try this :)
I don't know what it is, but the coffee tastes better as it gets closer to room temperature. it's the same/opposite experience I have with beer. the colder it is, the less I like it.
What grind size number should I go for on my ode gen 2 for this?
Not sure on the exact setting for the Ode - just slightly coarser than espresso
How many clicks would this be on a timemore c2 or fellownode gen 2?
Try 12 clicks on the C2, not too sure how this would look on your Ode. You're pretty much looking for a coarse espresso grind
If the coffee is more sour than sweet are my grinds too coarse? I have the Timemore C3 ESP and I rotated it to .9
Edit: actually the coffee tasted less sour as it cooled. But still am I grinding too coarse
Yes that could be a possible reason, underextracted coffee can often taste quite sour especially with lighter roasts and grinding finer is a good way of reducing that
@@bridgecoffeeroasters if you cut the recipe in half, should you steep for half the time?
I never liked coffee until I tried to light roast. So I really have no clue how this works.
No if you're cutting both the water and the coffee in half then you're using the same ratio of coffee to water, so use the same steep time. Best way to learn is to experiment!@@Mehwhatevr
@@bridgecoffeeroasters I think my problem was the beans. I bought Ethiopia Gelana Geisha G1 Natural Light to try this time from another roaster and the coffee is not so harshly sour and so obviously fruity I wonder if they aren't cheating by infusing the beans or something.
Does this aeropress method provide anything different in the brewing from a french press method? I had always assumed the aeropress was meant to be used when you wanted slightly higher pressure on the grounds but in this case it seems we never get any pressure built up
Don't like inverted method. Just use either the Prismo or AeroPress Flow Control as you suggest.
Do you get different results? Difficult for us to recommend buying 'one more thing' when you can get great results without them. From a workflow perspective the accessories are definitely nice to have though
I always use inverted method, works fine and is as easy as anything else. Why pay more for nothing
Why is the water measured in mL? Or is it supposed to be grams and this is a mistake
A ml of water is the same as a gram of water, so the numbers are the same
First time I’ve ever had to throw coffee away, wasn’t for me
Sorry to hear! What was the main thing you didn't like?
What? 7 minutes in boiling water?
It works incredibly well with light roast coffees that benefit from high levels of extraction
You're starting with the water at a certain temp but if you have a brew time of 7 - 8 minutes towards the end of the brew time the temp has decreased. Won't this affect the taste since the coffee is brewing at different water temps? It seems odd that the brew time goes against the Aeropress inventor's philosophy of making a quick and sweet coffee with a quicker brew time. Off course he's doing about 15 grams of coffee to 60 grams water and then adds water after brewing to make more of an American coffee.
Best,
Duane
The inventors recipe is geared to towards getting low extractions from dark roasts, this recipe is the opposite!
@@bridgecoffeeroasters What brew time would you recommend for a medium roast? Somewhere between 1 to 3 minutes?
2 - 4 minutes would be a fine starting point. Dial it by taste. As mentioned, this is a recipe built for light roasts.@@duanemcclun9924
