  1. Add filter, grounds and salt to the Aeropress coffee maker.
  2. Pour in just enough freshly boiled water to wet the grounds, then wait for 15 seconds.
  3. Pour in enough water, fresh off the boil, to reach the “4” mark.
  4. Stir for 10 seconds.
  5. Wet the rubber of the plunger, insert and gently press (the weight of two hands resting on the plunger is usually sufficient), taking ~30 seconds to complete the process.
  6. Top the brewed coffee with 6 OZ of the boiled water.

Yields ~10 OZ brewed coffee.
