Four short steps cover the setup, use, and cleanup that matter.
Set the AeroPress filter cap in the 15-degree base. Add one, two, or three paper filters, then place the perforated tamper on top before adding water.
Cap first, then paper filters, then AeroTemper.
Setup image will be added soon.
Add just enough water through the perforations to wet the paper evenly. Roughly ten drops is a useful mental picture, but there is no need to count. Use room-temperature water with a PLA tamper; PETG is preferred for hotter rinse water.
The goal is even wetting, not a pool of rinse water.
Wetting image will be added soon.
Use light hand pressure and slide the tamper smoothly across the paper for at least three twists. Too much pressure can wrinkle the filter.
Light contact is enough; do not press the paper down firmly.
Twisting image will be added soon.
Lift the tamper gently. Any excess water can run toward the low side of the cap and drip through the cutout in the base. Then move the prepared cap into the brew workflow.
The same method works with one, two, or three filters; thicker stacks may drain more slowly.
Drainage image will be added soon.
AeroTemper does not need a precise water dose or a visible finish line. The repeatable motion matters more.
Roughly ten drops; counting is unnecessary.
Smooth twists while the tamper remains seated.
Enough to slide; not enough to wrinkle paper.
Use the same workflow for each stack.
There is no special visual endpoint. Stop after the paper has been lightly and evenly wetted.
The future white paper will document the geometry, filter-contact reasoning, testing, and evidence limits behind the workflow.
Print AeroTemper sideways with a 0.4 mm nozzle or smaller. The 6.0 × 10.7 × 8.9 cm (2.36 × 4.21 × 3.50 in) base uses tree-hybrid supports at a 5-degree threshold from the build plate only; the tamper measures 6.3 × 6.3 × 2.4 cm (2.48 × 2.48 × 0.94 in). PETG is preferred; PLA is suitable with room-temperature water. The current pair takes about 4 hours 15 minutes and 160 g (0.35 lb). Hand wash only; not dishwasher safe.
Use AeroTemper before brewing, then connect it to the tools that make pressing and post-brew placement easier to repeat.
