AeroSweep
AeroSweep is a prep tray that gives chaff and fines a better place to separate before the brew starts.
AeroSweep is a prep tray that gives chaff and fines a better place to separate before the brew starts.
Competition brewers often improvise chaff-removal and fines-handling in cramped containers or messy transfer steps. AeroSweep turns that prep stage into a more deliberate and repeatable tray workflow.
AeroSweep helps control pre-brew preparation state by making chaff removal and optional fines handling more repeatable.
- Ground coffee is spread onto a wider tray instead of staying in a narrow catch cup.
- That wider geometry makes airflow-based chaff removal easier to perform consistently.
- The AeroSweep Fines variant can also retain some fines during the same prep step.
- The tray shape also makes the transfer into the brewer more deliberate than cramped cup-only handling.
- When preparation cleanliness and transfer geometry matter during competition prep.
- When you want a repeatable tray-based workflow for chaff removal before brewing.
- When you want one workflow that can support optional fines trapping as well.
- It does not guarantee a universally better cup.
- It does not replace dialing in grind, water, or pressing.
- It does not make every fines decision objective; the brewer still chooses the workflow endpoint.
- It is less important if the prep stage is already clean, stable, and easy to repeat without extra tooling.
- It does not replace good transfer habits if the brewer changes tray motion or airflow cues from brew to brew.
- AeroSweep exists in chaff-focused and fines-capable variants.
- Use the published guide and whitepaper to understand which variant matches your workflow.
- Repeatability depends on holding the same tray movement, airflow, and endpoint cues across brews.
Testing
AeroSweep matters when the prep stage itself is a source of inconsistency and the brewer wants a more deliberate workflow before grounds reach the AeroPress.
Brew Supply is independent and not affiliated with AeroPress or the World AeroPress Championship. Printed preparation tools should be handled with appropriate food-contact care and evaluated in your own brewing workflow.
AeroSweep covers that use case, but the current Brew Supply framing is broader. It is a preparation tray family for chaff removal and, in one variant, optional partial fines handling as well.
No. BeanSieve is about whole-bean size composition before grinding. AeroSweep is about grounds handling after grinding and before brewing.
