1.Boil water and let sit for a minute (if you have a programmable electric kettle, set it to 195°F, for starters!)
2. Insert filter into "basket," screw onto bottom of the AeroPress, and wet with heated water. Plunge water out and discard.
3. Grind 1 AeroPress scoop of whole beans on a medium-fine grind setting (12 on the Baratza Encore)
4. Bloom your coffee by pouring hot water to onto ground coffee up to the "1" on the AeroPress, ensuring you get all the grounds wet
5. Wait 30 seconds, the plunge the "bloomed" coffee into your glass/cup until you hear a hissing sound
6. Now, fill up the AeroPress again to the "3" & give it a stir.
7. Plunge the coffee after about a minute (you can play with this and plunge after 30 seconds, 45 seconds, etc.)
8. Stop once you hear a hissing sound.
Enjoy your coffee!
The approach Casey uses in this video is to "bloom" the coffee, plunge the bloom, then add more water before finishing.
