Simon Derutter's 2022 World AeroPress Championship Runner-Up Recipe
Brew 18g of medium-fine coffee with 156g total water at 85°C using an upright AeroPress and a dry Aesir filter. Seat the plunger and pull back gently to create a vacuum seal that suspends the slurry, then press steadily and top to 156g with bypass water. If liquid leaks early, improve the vacuum rather than grinding finer.
