The Go-To Gadget Alton Brown Uses For Perfect Coffee

In an interview with Men’s Journal, Alton Brown shared that the key to a perfect morning brew is the AeroPress as “It makes the perfect blend between a drip coffee and an espresso!”

Since AeroPress offers immense control over the brewing process, you can tailor your brew to suit your taste perfectly, provided you use the right volumetric balance and grind size.

For a light cup, use medium-sized coffee grounds and a longer steeping time. To achieve the strength and robustness of espresso, use finer grounds and a quicker, firmer extraction.
