Why Choose Speciality Coffee for an Aeropress?

The AeroPress is known for producing a clean, balanced cup while allowing the natural flavours of the coffee to shine. Unlike many brewing methods, it gives you the flexibility to experiment with brew time, water temperature and coffee to water ratio, making it easy to find a recipe that suits your taste.

Using freshly roasted speciality coffee means you can enjoy:

  • Richer flavour and aroma
  • Greater sweetness and balance
  • Less bitterness
  • Distinctive tasting notes
  • Fresh coffee in every cup

Because the AeroPress is so versatile, it works beautifully with a wide range of coffees, allowing you to discover new flavours with every brew.

Which Coffee is Best for an AeroPress?

There is no single best coffee for an AeroPress. The ideal choice depends on the flavours you enjoy most. Fortunately, the AeroPress brings out the best in light, medium and dark roasted coffees.

Medium Roast Coffee

Medium roasted coffee is often the first choice for AeroPress brewing. It delivers a smooth, balanced cup with plenty of sweetness, gentle acidity and a satisfying body.

Typical flavour notes include:

  • Milk chocolate
  • Caramel
  • Toffee
  • Hazelnut
  • Biscuit

Medium roasts are an excellent everyday choice and suit a wide variety of tastes.

Light Roast Coffee

If you enjoy brighter, more vibrant flavours, light roasted coffees are an excellent option. The AeroPress helps highlight delicate tasting notes while producing a clean and well balanced cup.

You may notice flavours such as:

  • Citrus fruits
  • Berries
  • Stone fruits
  • Floral notes
  • Honey

Light roasts are ideal for those who enjoy exploring the unique characteristics of different coffee growing regions.

Dark Roast Coffee

For those who prefer a richer, fuller flavour, dark roasted coffees are a fantastic choice. They produce a bold cup with lower acidity and plenty of depth.

Common tasting notes include:

  • Dark chocolate
  • Cocoa
  • Roasted nuts
  • Treacle
  • Toasted caramel

Dark roasts are also an excellent option if you enjoy adding milk to your coffee.

Whole Beans or Ground for AeroPress?

Every coffee in this collection can be supplied as either whole beans or freshly ground specifically for AeroPress brewing.

If you own a coffee grinder, whole beans will give you maximum freshness and allow you to adjust the grind to suit your preferred recipe.

If you would rather brew straight away, simply choose our AeroPress grind option and your coffee will arrive ready to use.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the best coffee for an AeroPress?

    The best coffee is the one that suits your personal taste. Medium roasts are an excellent place to start because they offer a balanced combination of sweetness, body and acidity. Light and dark roasts also produce outstanding results, each offering their own unique flavour profile.

  • Can I use pre ground coffee in an AeroPress?

    Yes. Coffee that has been ground specifically for an AeroPress will produce excellent results. However, if you have a grinder at home, grinding whole beans just before brewing will provide the freshest flavour and aroma.

  • Is an AeroPress better with light or dark roast coffee?

    Both work extremely well. Light roasts tend to produce brighter and fruitier flavours, while dark roasts create a richer, fuller bodied cup with notes of chocolate and roasted nuts.

  • Should I buy whole beans or AeroPress ground coffee?

    If you have a coffee grinder, whole beans will give you the freshest possible cup. If not, choosing our AeroPress grind option means your coffee will arrive ready to brew.

  • What grind size is best for an AeroPress?

    A fine to fine plus grind is suitable for most AeroPress recipes. You can then make small adjustments to suit your brewing method and personal taste.
