How to Brew with the MyCoffeestar Metal Filter (Inverted Method)

Discover how to get the most out of your AeroPress® with the MyCoffeeStar reusable metal filter — inspired by the 2022 Australian AeroPress Champion recipe. This method brings out an exceptionally clean, sweet, and balanced cup while staying completely waste-free.


What You’ll Need

  • AeroPress®
  • MyCoffeestar reusable metal filter
  • 18 g freshly ground coffee (medium-fine)
  • Hot water at 90°C (194°F)
  • Scale and timer

Step-by-Step Guide (Inverted Method)

1. Add coffee
Pour your ground coffee into the inverted AeroPress chamber.

2. Add water & stir
Pour 94 ml of hot water and stir 35 times gently to ensure even extraction.

3. Attach the filter cap
At 1:20, screw on the cap with the MyCoffeestar metal filter and press out the remaining air.

4. Flip & press
At 1:30, carefully flip the AeroPress onto your cup and press slowly for 30 seconds — from 1:40 to 2:10 total brew time.

5. Extract the concentrate
You’ll have about 58–64 g of coffee concentrate.

6. Dilute (bypass)
Add 90°C water until you reach a total of 150 g beverage weight.

7. Enjoy & fine-tune
Aim for a TDS of 1.3–1.35 for the perfect balance of sweetness and clarity. Serve and enjoy your sustainable cup.
