The AeroPress Inverted method is a creative twist on the original AeroPress brewing technique.
It involves flipping the AeroPress upside down to allow the coffee to steep fully before pressing, producing a cup that’s stronger, richer, and more aromatic.
This method is perfect for coffee lovers who want complete control over brewing time and flavor — without bitterness or acidity.
🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 15–18 g freshly ground coffee (medium-fine grind)
- 220 ml hot water (about 90–94°C / 195–200°F)
🛠️ Equipment
- AeroPress (with plunger and filter cap)
- Paper or metal filter
- Stirrer or spoon
- Kettle
- Timer and scale
- Mug
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Process
1. Set Up the AeroPress Inverted
Insert the plunger about 2 cm into the brewing chamber and flip the AeroPress upside down — so the plunger is on the bottom and the opening faces up.
Make sure it’s stable on your counter.
2. Add Coffee
Add 15–18 grams of ground coffee into the chamber.
Give it a light shake to level the grounds evenly.
3. Pour Hot Water
Pour 220 ml of hot water over the coffee.
Start your timer and stir gently for about 10 seconds to make sure all the grounds are saturated.
4. Steep
Let the coffee steep for 1–2 minutes depending on how strong you like it.
This full immersion allows for a richer, bolder extraction compared to the standard method.
5. Attach the Filter Cap
Place a paper (or metal) filter into the cap and rinse it with hot water.
Then screw the cap onto the top of the AeroPress while keeping it inverted.
6. Flip and Press
Carefully flip the AeroPress onto your mug.
Press down slowly and steadily for about 20–30 seconds until you hear a hiss — that means all the coffee has been extracted.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Your AeroPress Inverted coffee is ready!
Enjoy it black for bold flavor, or add milk and sugar to taste.
Clean-up is easy — just pop out the used coffee puck and rinse.
💡 Tips for the Perfect AeroPress Inverted Coffee
- Use freshly roasted beans for the best aroma and taste.
- Adjust the steep time — longer for a stronger brew, shorter for a lighter cup.
- Try metal filters for more body, or paper for a cleaner taste.
- Pour slowly to avoid spills when flipping the AeroPress.
- For iced coffee, brew as normal and pour over ice cubes.
