# WAC 2025 AeroPress Recipes Compared

Canonical: https://brew.supply/wac-2025-aeropress-recipes

This interactive analysis compares 22 World AeroPress Championship 2025 recipes across dose, grind, brew water, bypass, contact time, press behavior, water, workflow, and recipe distance.
The central finding is that the 2025 recipes did not point to one winning formula. Dose clustered near 18 g, but bypass, brew water per dose, contact time, press behavior, water, and workflow spread widely.

## Main hypotheses
- The top recipes separated extraction setup from served-cup dilution.
- Dose was not the main strategic separator.
- Bypass strategy was one of the largest differences between recipes.
- The top 3 did not cluster as one common recipe archetype.
- Missing final beverage, press, or water details limit how confidently some recipes can be compared.

## Methods
The page does not calculate true extraction yield because measured beverage TDS is not available for most recipes. It uses a relative extraction-opportunity proxy and a mixed-variable pairwise recipe distance model instead.
