Aeropress dosage

Gordon Gekko · 2013-11-08 15:35:53

I'm travelling next week and will be bringing my Aeropress, Porlex hand grinder, and beans. Do I need to bother bringing my scales as well, or would a rounded scoop of beans using the Aeropress scoop more or less equal correct dosage? I don't care about a gram here or there, particularly when travelling.

If you wll be using the same beans throughout, then weigh a dosage of the beans and then make a note of how many scoops it is. use that.

a scoop of beans is generally 16/17g. I never weigh for Aeropress anymore (except for the judges).....
