Aeropress

Thorne and Thatches' Roaster Notes:

 

Some mornings in Boot Hill don’t wait for you to wake up... they kick the door in. That’s when you reach for the AeroPress. No ceremony, no delay. Just you, the grind, and a minute’s worth of redemption.

​

We grind a touch finer here, 14 to 15 grams of coffee for 220 grams of water, hot as you can stand it, around 200°F. 

​

Add your grounds. Pour half the water first. Stir once... slow, steady, like loading a round with purpose. Let it sit thirty seconds, then fill to the top and lock the plunger in.

​

Wait another half-minute.


Then press.


Firm, steady, and unflinching... the way we  push through another day in Boot Hill.


It should take twenty to thirty seconds. The hiss at the end? That’s just the last breath of the brew.

​

Swirl the cup. Smell the aroma, the sugar, the earth. Take a sip.


It’s bold and stubborn... like the folks who built this town

Throne and Thatches' Guide to: Aeropress

What You’ll Need:

​

  • Coffee: 15 g (medium-fine grind, between table salt and sugar)

  • Water: 220 g (just off the boil — about 200°F / 93°C)

  • AeroPress, paper filter, stirrer, scale, and timer

​

The Method

​

  1. Set the Stage
    Place the AeroPress in the inverted position. Rinse the filter with hot water to wash off the paper and warm the cup… the small kindness that makes a difference.

  2. Add the Grounds
    Spoon in 15 g of coffee.

  3. The Bloom
    Start your timer and pour 50 g of water first. Stir gently for 10 seconds… enough to wake the grounds without stirring up trouble. Let it bloom for 30 seconds.

  4. Fill and Wait
    Pour the remaining 170 g of water, bringing your total to 220 g.
    Let it steep until 1:30, the color shifting like sunrise through smoke.

  5. The Press
    Attach the cap and filter, flip the press onto your mug, and begin to press… slow and steady, finishing around 2:00–2:15.
    When you hear the hiss, that’s the coffee’s last breath before it’s reborn in the cup.

  6. Finish and Serve
    Swirl it once. Sip it black.


If it kicks too hard, add a splash of hot water to smooth the edge. We call that “mercy.” Boot Hill calls it “Weakness.”
