Was your reaction as big as mine? I hope this made you smile today 🙂 I also want to shout out Wendelien Van Bunnik - the reigning aeropress world champion for this amazing recipe. Link in the description for both recipes.
That's what was so great about this recipe. It wasn't trying to be the best ever but it encapsulates exactly what the Aeropress is about. Simple and straightforward. Don't rinse your filter, don't bother inverting, embrace the hiss and use boiling water. An every day coffee. What a hero!
As I recall, James said that a light roast can tolerate water right out of the kettle, but that medium and dark roasts might benefit from a slightly longer wait to get down to around or even below 200°.
Hilariously he just released something for dark roasts. His recipe (which vastly improved my coffee, as normal) is half boiling water into your preferred method, drop the temp to 80, then pour the other half of the water in.
I have been making Aeropress too strong and sloppy for years. James’s recipe changed the way I drink and taste coffee. At first the flavors were subtle and now I realize they were just drowning before in overly bold coffee. This recipe allows things to come forward and leaves the best aftertaste. Brilliant video too Kyle we love ya!
I thought it was kind of funny that James’ take on the Aeropress was almost exactly what I gravitated into after more than a decade of brewing with it at least once daily, mostly out of progressive laziness and familiarity
Best every day coffee, smooth, easy to drink, perfect strength, no messing around with temperatures etc, I can't be bothered to stand making my coffee for 30 minutes in the morning haha
I had stopped rinsing and inverting way before. I finally stopped blooming and tbh most of my variable on the Aeropress ends up being dose and grind size.
I can't believe I missed your video when it came out. Your intro perfectly encapsulated people I make fun of on there internet while secretly feeling exactly the same.
Wholesome video is lovely. ☺️ (I’ve been using James’ recipe for a while now, and it is indeed perfect for everyday brewing. I use it in my office twice daily in fact!)
I love both recipes!! I use a medium blend for the world champion brew and a dark for James recipe. I also do a 15 grams to 250 grams ratio inverted for everyday. Works for me
James also did a 30g championship brew and said roughly what you said, big, bold flavours to stand out for judges, but not necessarily a daily brew. I have now adopted the JH recipe and am tinkering with grind size.
Tbh a lot of the world championship recipes use absurd amounts of coffee for the amount of liquid you end up with. It’s not really sustainable to be using ~30g for 200ml of coffee every day
Kyle, my man you’re excitement for this video is phenomenal. Love it. I know what I will be doing for tomorrow morning. 🔥🔥🔥 As always coffee over caffeine.
I've been getting more serious and pickier about my coffee lately. I'd been taking my french press to work to make my daily coffee, but wasn't totally happy with it. After watching Jame's Aeropress series I was instantly sold on it. Before I'd seen the Aeropress around, but assumed it was some kind of bougie tool for coffee snobs. I've been using the Aeropress and Jame's recipe ever since and have been trying to sell everyone I know on one too.
My ultimate recepi : 11g coffie not very fine grinded and not a very strong coffee, 1 paperfilter washed out, filtered water to 75-80°C depends on coffee, aeropress on cup, stirl 15 seconds and press gently ! Try and give me ur thoughts, every coffee will taste great ! Its not difficult to make great coffee with aeropress and good beans. Greatings from germany !
I thought this was going to be a joke video with the huge smile and overall starting presentation here. However it instead was a wonderfully humble and warming video to watch.
Great video. I had switched my daily Aeropress recipe to Mr.Hoffman's, simple & great tasting, just need to tweak the grind & water temp to adapt to the beans that I'm using
2019 , for me is TOO big. I normally drink double shot espresso so appreciate strong coffee taste. James' 11g cup was a suprise to me. Using a med roast Ethiopian been with a cupping note of strong floral tones. These tones came through in a gentle way leaving a pleasing aftertaste which was not the case with the former. I now will be making Mr Hoffman's recipe on a daily basis, and may even forego espresso for the forseeable future.
Have used Aeropress for over 4 years. Inverted method is POA. Have used simular technique as James Holfman, just say his first video today. I do pour just an ounce or two of water in stir then top off to top and press. No waiting.jLove my AeroPress. I do mix up technique every now and then to make sure I am not missing something., but have found basic technique works great every time.
You're summary is exactly how James describes it himself. It's not designed to stand out from 100 other cups for a judge, rather a great cup you can drink twice a day.
Wow what a coincidence that he did the same in the very last video. It's great that you had the same idea and we can now get the opinions of both of you on the same comparison, which I think is even better than just James'. Nice video Kyle!
James is about causality of coffee and clarity. It’s the balanced, clear, beautiful cup of coffee you’d want to drink everyday. Who would want to open their mornings with a steak everyday?
Great video Kyle! Question for you: how does Hoffmann’s aeropress compare to Hoffmann’s V60? Or maybe another pour over recipe you like? I have an aeropress but have always been attracted to the craft of pour over. Just not sure if there’s a huge flavor difference. Love to hear your thoughts!
Good question! A v60 has a vastly different flavour than that of the AeroPress. One being percolation and another immersion... I think having a V60 would be worth investigating.
@@KyleRowsell If I could go back in time, I'd say that I'm excited for you. When I found the Aeropress, I brewed in nothing else for years. I'm rather stuck on v60 now but rediscover the Aeropress every couple months for a while. But it's my staple at work and for travel.
To be honest, James‘ recipe is not that different from what the original recipe was that I learned to brew the AeroPress with: I learned to take 15g medium fine grind for 250g water, letting the coffee steep for 1,5 minutes right after pouring all water in and stirring a little. Thus, the end result to me does not taste that different to what my usual recipe was anyway. Actually, I was even surprised that he chose to use 5,5g coffee per 100g of water since in an earlier video he explained more coffee would be needed to achieve the same extraction for percolation brew methods. However he emphasised that he chose the lower dose to highlight the fruiter notes of the light roast he had. All in all it’s a nice and easy go to recipe.
I tried Hoffman’s recipe but didn’t like it. I prefer med/dark roasts Tim Wendelboe’s recipe is my go to daily. 14g to 200g 95C water using the inverted method then change the grind size as the only variable Idk why but I much prefer inverted brewing.
Great video. I like James Hulfman. Want to know his Apress technique. But I just can’t watch 5 videos to see how to make a simple coffee. Unless I’m on vacation and just want some relaxing plane time. You gave it to me in 20 seconds. Now I’m doing it.
This video gave me more questions than answers and left out some context. I don't like research so I will share what I discovered, so you don't have to and add some context. I could not find Wendelien's recipe on her site, but I found it here. czcams.com/video/SEOOCkU01A8/video.html There is one change to the standard equipment, she used an Aesir Filter. If you can't get them you can use 2 normal AeroPress filters. 1. 30g of what looks like medium roast coffee coarsely ground 7/10 in an inverted AeroPress. Note: Everyone at the World Aeropress championship uses the same coffee. 2. Pour 100g of the softest water you can find at 92C within 10 seconds. She used Spa Blauw (30ppm). 3. Stir firmly 20 times within 10 seconds. 4. Put the filter cap with rinsed filter on the brewer and gently press out excess air. 5. At 40 seconds, flip the AeroPress and press out all coffee. 6. Add 120g of 92C water to the extracted coffee. 7. Cool the brew down to roughly 60°C (140°F) by stirring and decanting. I tried Wendelien's recipe with my light roast and felt it was under extracted. I will revisit this with a medium roast or decrease my grind size and raise the temperature of the water a bit. The context missing from James's recipe is that it is based on his bias of lightly roasted coffee. He does address it in his video but it is not mentioned here, so here's the short version. 1. 11g Of close to espresso grind size, light roast coffee in an AeroPress setup for the standard method. As the roast on your coffee increases, so should your grind size. Darker coffee = a coarser grind. 2. 200g of water at 100C. If you have a temperature controlled kettle, shoot for 90-95C for medium roast coffee and as low as 85C for a dark roast. Affix the plunger. 3. Wait 2 minutes, then grab the AeroPress with one hand and the cup with the other and give it a gentle stir. You are trying to break up the crust on the top, not create a vortex. 4. Wait 30 seconds then gently press out the coffee. Pressing out the coffee should take another 30 seconds. I use James's recipe at 15g/260g (it fits), it's fast and simple.
Cool video, and very gracious of you to give kudos to a fellow YT coffee blogster... I got my first Aeropress today, so am jazzed to be exploring all these options... thanks.
Hi Kyle.. great video 😊 I’d like to know if AeroPress can brew a coffee similar to a real espresso. I know it won’t be the same, but as long as the result is close enough, it would be fine. I’m asking this because currently I don’t have budget to buy a good quality espresso machine. Second question, would you recommend AeroPress or Bialetti Moka Express to make a better espresso-like coffee? Thanks.
I love the 3 cup bialetti, with a clean gasket, new every few months. Moka is set and forget. I like the aero press. But first thing in the morning the moka is an easier ritual to wake up. But I am thinking 2 aeropress allow to compare 2 different coffees beans at the same time, more consistently than with other methods. You can easily find open box bialetti moka pots on auction sites. The 3 cup is the perfect size for a 200 ml cup
There is not "one" aeropress recipe that will suit all people and all sorts of coffee. A recipe will only ever be perfect to suit your personal taste. In Vienna (Austria), we have several roasters that will give you a recipe for each of their roasts and coffees as a guideline, because they know this specific coffee, but this is where you start to get close to what you like. Don't let people tell you, what you like! (That includes me, of course!) :-)
I haven't tried Hoffman's yet, but I've made Wendelien's a few times, and I agree. It's a BIG coffee. I love it, but it's a bit much for a daily brew. Great for trying out a new-to-me coffee, though. Also, you seem absolutely wired in this video 😂 How many takes/cups of coffee? haha
4:20 Not sure this is how JH does it. If I rember well, he moves the unit a few times in a circle, making a gentle swirl before pushing the plunger down.
Yeah, I tried both side by side as well. The competition one is like an explosive get in your face military trumpet wake up call cup, James's is a kinder more have a relaxing morning waking up cup that I like on my days off. The competition is a bigger explosion get up there buddy cup I prefer when I am working because it gets you ready to get out the door quick if you know what I mean.
There was a recent video by Mad Scientist BBQ were Harry Soo taught him how to make a competition brisket. Harry's insight gave me a whole new perspective on anything taste related in the competition realm. With a competition brisket you have to go big and bold to stand out to the judges who are tasting many entries. I suspect it is similar with coffee competitions. A World championship recipe may be great for the first sip or so, but may be too overwhelming and lack nuance for a daily driver.
I use Hoffman's recipe but I sometimes get quite sharp tasting coffee. I can't tell if it's the acidity of my beans or if it's underextraction, because there is also a little bit of bitterness there and a pleasant sweet and full sort of aftertaste, it's just sometimes very sharp. But the coffee is a natural Ethiopian so maybe that's normal? No clue, I'm pretty new to coffee
Amazing intro there 😂. I never made a great coffee out of the championship winning recipes probably because they're highly tailored to their own very high quality
Interesting! I know all grinders vary, but I was curious where other niche users were at. I started out in the 20-30 range and was getting some astringency/lack of acidity. In the 30-40 range the coffees are popping a lot more for me. Keep up the great content, Kyle!
from a 7min video I expected to at least learn what the two recipies are, but well... if one wants to watch a very excited coffee- and james-fan - a great place to be :D
I've been doing some ridicoulus experiments myself with the aeropress .... Finer gindsize than espresso (nearing turkish really) 10+min steeptimes. Best part is, it does not taste overextracted
Was your reaction as big as mine? I hope this made you smile today 🙂 I also want to shout out Wendelien Van Bunnik - the reigning aeropress world champion for this amazing recipe. Link in the description for both recipes.
The intro made me 😄
The entire video 💕
FWIW, the links to the 2019 WAC recipe and IG account do not function anymore.
The recipe isn’t there anymore
That's what was so great about this recipe. It wasn't trying to be the best ever but it encapsulates exactly what the Aeropress is about. Simple and straightforward. Don't rinse your filter, don't bother inverting, embrace the hiss and use boiling water. An every day coffee. What a hero!

200°? wtf bro.
@@black58200 Fahrenheit I assume
Champions recipe is for when you have too much beans left and you want to try other beans from your favorite roaster😅
😂😂😂😂

I thought it was kind of funny that James’ take on the Aeropress was almost exactly what I gravitated into after more than a decade of brewing with it at least once daily, mostly out of progressive laziness and familiarity
I love the simplicity and the fact that I use less coffee to accomplish what is arguably a more enjoyable experience.
Same!!! Amazing.
Best every day coffee, smooth, easy to drink, perfect strength, no messing around with temperatures etc, I can't be bothered to stand making my coffee for 30 minutes in the morning haha
if there is one thing last year taught us, it is normally is underrated. I'm really looking forward to normal morning riture again
I had stopped rinsing and inverting way before. I finally stopped blooming and tbh most of my variable on the Aeropress ends up being dose and grind size.
This guy must have huge calves. He won't stop moving up and down.
Gordon Ramsay vibes
That's like me 1/2 hour after coffee, until drowsiness kicks in again
Lol, that’s what I was thinking! Too much coffee Kyle!,
I started brewing James’ recipe daily with 15g of coffee (14 clicks on comandante) and 270g of water. I love it!
Do you max out the available volume when doing this?
@@PalEllingsen pretty much yes, I cant pour too fast if the coffee blooms a lot.
I like it when people say how many clicks on a comandante takes the guess work out of it.
Any guess as to what 14 clicks would be on an 1zpresso Jx pro?
Intro was a riot! 🤣
Great video… I recently read that for the 2021 WAC, they changed the rules. AeroPress recipes are now required to use 18g or less of coffee.
It was nice to watch, you looked so excited and transmitted your passion very well. I had to stop midway to brew myself a cup.
Thanks!
I can't believe I missed your video when it came out. Your intro perfectly encapsulated people I make fun of on there internet while secretly feeling exactly the same.
Battle of the Aero Pressers!
The Hoff inspired me to take up a part time job as a barista on top of being a teacher
I love that. Thanks for sharing!
@@KyleRowsell I love your videos too man! Really interesting comparison here
This was my MOST favorite intro to a coffee video that I’ve seen SINCE Mr. Hoffman’s “The Barisieur” video! Congrats! Super fun. Keep it up!
Wholesome video is lovely. ☺️
(I’ve been using James’ recipe for a while now, and it is indeed perfect for everyday brewing. I use it in my office twice daily in fact!)
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Man watching this video full of your excitement really gives me the positive vibes, thanks!
One thing to note: the 2019 Championship recipe used really soft water and also Aesir filters.
That intro.....what a masterclass in storytelling....
Was really hoping to nail the climax… it’s tough to do without words… you know?
You have such a strong caffeinated vibe in this video 🤣
He was jumping he's so cute lol
That excitement reaction was exactly the same as mine was! 😂🙏🏻
I love both recipes!! I use a medium blend for the world champion brew and a dark for James recipe. I also do a 15 grams to 250 grams ratio inverted for everyday. Works for me

You're too kind. But even if it doesnt... I'm just happy to be here.

I've been getting more serious and pickier about my coffee lately. I'd been taking my french press to work to make my daily coffee, but wasn't totally happy with it.

Wow! That is BIG praise!
I use his recipie every day. Perfect cup every time.
Love the jumping up and down and waving hands hand in and out showing all the signs of being really excited and heavily caffeinated!😅
Have used Aeropress for over 4 years. Inverted method is POA. Have used simular technique as James Holfman, just say his first video today.

Tim Wendelboe’s recipe is my go to daily. 14g to 200g 95C water using the inverted method then change the grind size as the only variable
Idk why but I much prefer inverted brewing.
Good day Kyle, just got my aeropress today and tried this 2 great recipes, I liked them both, keep it up and stay safe.

Hi the recipe video is only 8 min or so. the other Videos are just for nerding out about the aeropress
I was born for that moment! anyway, I like your videos, I'll subscribe!
Thanks for joining along
Yes and yes. Tried and compared. My wife says best cup I ever brewed her, so I will keep using it.
Kyle you should try the no press aeropress. Prometheus does it and it’s awesome.
Great video!
I've never seen anyone so excited like you 😁
This video gave me more questions than answers and left out some context. I don't like research so I will share what I discovered, so you don't have to and add some context.
I could not find Wendelien's recipe on her site, but I found it here. czcams.com/video/SEOOCkU01A8/video.html

30 grams coffee fine grind. Fill with water stir wait a min plunge. I love it oozing out of the press.
If I don't want a bold cup, I drink tea
The skit is great! :D
I’ve been enjoying Hoffmanns recipe the most. It leaves me wanting a tad more but nothing else gets me as close.
Very funny Intro man - well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I tried Mr. Hoffmann's recipe and really enjoyed it. Will check into Weindelien's recipe next.
Great vid I was genuinely that excited to see James vid!
You and me both!
James needs to watch this!

Great video. I am going to try both of these recipes.
ACR are weekend recipes, when you need that extra umph! And Hoffman's is for your everyday Joe. 😁 But once you go ACR.... You're gone for good lol
There is not "one" aeropress recipe that will suit all people and all sorts of coffee. A recipe will only ever be perfect to suit your personal taste.

Yeah, I tried both side by side as well. The competition one is like an explosive get in your face military trumpet wake up call cup, James's is a kinder more have a relaxing morning waking up cup that I like on my days off. The competition is a bigger explosion get up there buddy cup I prefer when I am working because it gets you ready to get out the door quick if you know what I mean.
Absolutely. Thanks for sharing.
This is the way.
There was a recent video by Mad Scientist BBQ were Harry Soo taught him how to make a competition brisket.

My thought the entire video: he looks so happy!
I was!
I use Hoffman's recipe but I sometimes get quite sharp tasting coffee. I can't tell if it's the acidity of my beans or if it's underextraction, because there is also a little bit of bitterness there and a pleasant sweet and full sort of aftertaste, it's just sometimes very sharp. But the coffee is a natural Ethiopian so maybe that's normal? No clue, I'm pretty new to coffee
Haha nice video, I loved your spirit
Good day Kyle, I love coffee and I find your videos very informative, thank and keep it up.
Thank you!
Hey Kyle, your videos are so good! Cheers from Colombia
Great, fun video
Loving the energy and your bounciness!
I'm glad I stumbled upon this video, that intro is hilarious!
Glad you liked it!
That intro was brilliant! Subbed!
Thanks for joining along!
Amazing intro there 😂. I never made a great coffee out of the championship winning recipes probably because they're highly tailored to their own very high quality
Dude... for your the intro ALONE you earn a thumbs up and a follow ^^
Much appreciated!
Love how relatable the intro was! Just curious what number you ground at on the niche, for James' recipe?
every coffee is different. but between 20-30 is a good start
Interesting! I know all grinders vary, but I was curious where other niche users were at. I started out in the 20-30 range and was getting some astringency/lack of acidity. In the 30-40 range the coffees are popping a lot more for me.
Keep up the great content, Kyle!
from a 7min video I expected to at least learn what the two recipies are, but well... if one wants to watch a very excited coffee- and james-fan - a great place to be :D
I assume he doesn't want to try to steal views from James Hoffmann's original video. :)
great idea!!! New sub.
I've been doing some ridicoulus experiments myself with the aeropress .... Finer gindsize than espresso (nearing turkish really) 10+min steeptimes. Best part is, it does not taste overextracted
Because it isn’t
decaf is for people how like unbuttered popcorn. i get it if ur allergic but if not, why???
What exactly was Hofmans recipe? did you not have to swirl it and wait for two minutes before pressing? thanks
Great video, especially that intro! 😂😂
😅
Tried it. It was a great tasting cup of coffee. 😊
Right on!
