How to brew:
1. Measure & Grind
Measure out 16g of coffee or about a full scoop of the Aeropress spoon
Grind it to a medium fine grind
2. Prep the aeropress
Place your filter in the cap of the Aeropress and give it a good rinse

Screw the basket onto the Aeropress and place on top of mug, basket down
Using the funnel, carefully add the 16g of coffee
Remove funnel

Start your timer and pour hot water over the coffee
Water should be just off the boil or at 205 degrees
Fill Aeropress with water to 220g (if you have a scale) or to the #4 on the Aeropress
5. Stir & Wait
Stir the coffee until the grinds are fully saturated
Place the plunger (rubber stopper) inside the bottom half of the Aeropress and pull up to create a pressure seal
This creates a vacuum effect that stops the water from dripping while brewing

6. Stir & Plunge
At 1:15, remove the plunger and stir once more
Put the plunger back on and gently press down with steady pressure, stopping when you hear the hissing sound
This entire brew process should take about 2 minutes to brew an 8oz cup of coffee

Twist open the basket it and pop out the coffee puck
Rinse with water to clean
Sit back and enjoy your freshly brewed cup of Moja coffee!
