　　2013世界愛樂壓大賽獲獎者操作祕笈

　　Jeff Verellen’s winning recipe :

　　Jeff Verellen的祕訣

　　17 grams coffee ground 5.75 on the uber grinder, little courser than paper filter.

　　17g粉 – 使用愛爾蘭Uber磨豆機5.75刻度，比滴濾還粗一點點;

　　Rinsed normal filter, aeropress in regular position.

　　浸溼濾紙，放穩愛樂壓

　　50 grams of water at 83c for the bloom.

　　悶蒸 – 83℃ 50g水

　　Bloom for 40s. Nicely wet all grounds and lightly agitate holding the aeropress and shaking it abit around.

　　Very slowly add 215 grams of water at 79c for about 30 sec

　　40s後，邊慢慢旋轉愛樂壓，邊小心加入215g 79℃的水 約30s,

　　Press very gently for about 30 seconds.

　　Leave about 50 gram slurry in the press and discard.

　　Put the rest of the brew in the gob.

　　柔和下壓約30s直至濾筒中還剩約50g咖啡液停止。

　　Extra tips for supreme brew:

　　做出好咖啡的建議：

　　Picking beans, lights out, heavies in. Too big and weird, also out.

　　挑豆 – 輕的，太大的，瑕疵豆等不要，只要均勻厚實感的，

　　Use a cocktail pitcher to grind in and charge up static electricity so light particles stick to the walls, try to discard them.

　　用雞尾酒杯盛放咖啡粉，由於靜電些許咖啡會附着在其杯壁上，這部分我們不要使用。

　　press out air while still in inverted position, until drops appear on top,

　　將空氣全部寄出直至一點咖啡液濾出，

　　turn aeropress into a non-inverted position onto a pitcher, but do not press yet.

　　將愛樂壓翻轉放穩在一個容器上，

　　After two minutes of brew time have past, press gently using body weight, as the Aeropress allows.
