    Definition

    Hiss decision makes the end-of-press air-through-bed choice explicit instead of leaving it implied.

    Why It Matters

    Recipes differ on whether late-stage air and last-liquid extraction are desirable, so the decision must be named clearly.

    Used In Recipe Language Like
    Stop before hiss.
    Evidence Notes

    Pressing through the hiss is part of official AeroPress guidance. Stopping before the hiss is common competition practice, not manufacturer doctrine.

    Synonyms
    stop-before-hiss point
    hiss
