Recipe by Tay Wipvasutt · See the original

Tay Wipvasutt from Thailand won the 2023 World AeroPress Championship with this inverted recipe. It brews a strong concentrate with 100 g of water, adds the last 2 g of coffee partway through, then dilutes the cup with room temperature and hot water.

Tay ground on a 1Zpresso ZP6 at 65 clicks. On other grinders, start at a medium grind and adjust to taste.

What you need

  • AeroPress and a paper filter
  • Kettle
  • Digital scale with a timer
  • Burr grinder
  • Sturdy mug

Method

  1. 1

    Rinse a paper filter in the cap. Set the AeroPress up inverted, standing on its plunger.

  2. 2

    Add 16 g of coffee and keep the other 2 g aside. Start the timer and pour 100 g of water at 89°C.

  3. 3

    At 0:30, stir in circles for 5 seconds. At 0:45, add the remaining 2 g of coffee, and at 0:55 stir for another 5 seconds.

  4. 4

    Screw on the cap and push the chamber down gently to remove the air.

  5. 5

    At 1:35, flip it onto a server and press down for about 30 seconds. You should have about 75 g of concentrate.

  6. 6

    Add room temperature water until the coffee weighs 115 g, then hot water up to 155 g. Stir and taste.

If it does not taste right

It is hard to press

The grind is too fine. Grind coarser and press more gently; it should take steady pressure, not force.

My coffee tastes sour

Grind a little finer or steep for longer, up to about 2:30.

My coffee tastes bitter

Grind a little coarser or press sooner. Leave the last of the liquid in the chamber rather than forcing it through.
