Collection: Aeropress coffee

AeroPress is one of the most popular coffee brewing methods, appreciated for its simplicity, speed, and endless possibilities for experimenting with flavor. By combining immersion brewing with gentle pressure, it extracts the full aroma from coffee beans while maintaining clarity and balance in the cup. The advantages of AeroPress make it a favorite method among both home coffee lovers and specialty baristas.

AeroPress owes much of its popularity to its simplicity. Preparing great coffee with this device takes only a few minutes, a small amount of freshly ground beans, and hot water. Brewing with an AeroPress is quick and intuitive, requires no complicated equipment, and is very easy to clean up afterwards.

Another great advantage of AeroPress is the freedom to experiment. By changing the coffee-to-water ratio, brewing time, or preparation method (such as the classic or inverted method), you can discover slightly different flavor notes in the same beans each time.

It is no surprise that a whole community of coffee enthusiasts has formed around this method. Since 2008, the World AeroPress Championship has been held around the world, where baristas compete to create the best AeroPress brewing recipe.

AeroPress offers a lot of brewing flexibility, allowing you to experiment with different types of coffee. However, certain characteristics of beans work particularly well with this method and help bring out the full aroma and a clean, well-balanced cup.

Roast level

Light and medium roasts are usually the top picks for AeroPress. In practice, though, darker roasts work beautifully too. Whichever roast you choose, freshly roasted beans make the real difference — ours reach you shortly after roasting, always. If you'd like fresh coffee delivered regularly without having to remember to reorder, our coffee subscription is a great fit.

Fresh beans bring out coffee's natural character best — its fruity notes, gentle acidity, and natural sweetness.

At JAVA Coffee Roasters, you'll find specialty coffees suited to AeroPress from origins around the world, including:

• From Tanzania – Tanzania Itumpi, with notes of rhubarb, blackcurrant, and tea
• A specialty filter blend, such as Flower Power
• From Mexico – Mexico Nahua, an Omni Roast.

We ship every coffee within 7 days of roasting, so the beans keep their full flavour and aroma.

For AeroPress, a medium-fine grind works best – somewhere between the grind used for drip coffee and espresso.

This grind size allows proper extraction during the short brewing time and helps produce a cup with an intense aroma and balanced flavor.

AeroPress beautifully highlights the character of specialty coffees, so it's worth paying attention to the flavor profile of the beans you choose.

• If you enjoy light, fresh, aromatic brews, reach for coffees from Africa — a good example is Tanzania Itumpi, with clear notes of rhubarb, blackcurrant, and tea. The cup will be bright, juicy, and highly aromatic.
• If you're after a more intense, darker-roasted flavor, try Honduras Marcala — a coffee with notes of dessert chocolate, brown sugar, and dried fruit. It's an interesting twist: despite being roasted for espresso, in AeroPress it reveals full sweetness and a harmonious, balanced profile.
• If you're looking for a good decaf, check out Colombia Asomujer Decaf – Filter/Drip, with notes of molasses, red apple, and nougat. It's proof that skipping caffeine doesn't mean skipping character — its clean, juicy, balanced profile works beautifully in AeroPress.
• If you value elegance and quiet complexity, try Mexico Ozolotepec - a coffee with a juicy, sweet orange note that, as it cools, reveals subtle hints of chamomile and black tea, tied together by a delicate milk chocolate sweetness on the finish. This is a coffee that doesn't chase intensity - it wins you over with clarity, balance, and an almost tea-like character.

Brewing coffee with an AeroPress is quick and simple, while still leaving plenty of room for experimentation.

Follow these steps to prepare a clean, aromatic cup:

1. Grind the coffee medium-fine – the texture should resemble fine sugar.
2. Set up the AeroPress in the inverted position (upside down), with the plunger inserted just enough to seal the chamber.
3. Add 16–22 g of coffee to the chamber.
4. Pour water at 80–90°C (250–270 ml) over the coffee and stir gently.
5. Let it steep for about 2 minutes, so the coffee releases its full aroma.
6. Attach the filter and cap, then flip the AeroPress over your cup.
7. Slowly press the plunger, pushing the brew through the filter into your cup.

The most common ratio is 16–22 g of coffee per 250–270 ml of water, but feel free to adjust it to your taste. By changing the amount of coffee, the brew time, or the water temperature, you'll discover new flavor notes in your favorite beans every time.

At JAVA Coffee Roasters, we focus on quality, freshness, and transparency. Our coffees are carefully selected specialty beans sourced from renowned coffee regions, including South America, Africa, and Asia.

Here you can easily choose coffee perfectly suited to your favorite brewing method – espresso, filter, and of course AeroPress.

Can any coffee be used in an AeroPress?

Almost any coffee can be brewed in an AeroPress, but the best results come from freshly roasted specialty coffee with a light or medium roast profile. These beans make it easier to bring out complex aromas and flavor notes. In the end, though, personal preference matters most — if you enjoy a stronger, more traditional taste, a darker roast will also work very well.

Does coffee for AeroPress have to be specialty coffee?

Specialty coffees generally give the best results, since they come from higher-quality beans and offer richer flavor profiles. This makes it easier to discover subtle fruity, chocolatey, or floral notes when brewing with AeroPress.

Why should AeroPress coffee be freshly ground?

Freshness has a major impact on the flavor and aroma of coffee. Right after roasting, the beans release intense aromatic compounds that gradually fade over time.

Coffee usually reaches its flavor peak between 7 and 28 days after roasting — that's when its aromatic profile is at its most expressive and balanced.

What grind size is best for AeroPress?

A medium-fine grind is recommended — between drip grind and espresso grind. This grind size ensures proper extraction and produces a balanced, aromatic cup.

Can you brew dark roast coffee in an AeroPress?

Yes, AeroPress works very well with darker roasts too. The resulting brew will typically be more intense and chocolatey, often with notes of cocoa or caramel. Keep in mind, though, that darker roasting can make more delicate flavor notes less noticeable.

Does AeroPress make coffee like espresso?

AeroPress doesn't produce true espresso, since it can't reach the same high pressure as an espresso machine. It can, however, produce a more concentrated brew with a bold flavor that can resemble espresso and works well as a base for milk-based drinks.

How much coffee do you need for one cup?

The most common ratio is 16–22 g of coffee per 250–270 ml of water. This produces a balanced, aromatic cup. With AeroPress, though, you can easily experiment — adjusting the coffee-to-water ratio lets you tailor the intensity of the brew to your preference.
