If you're a coffee lover, you've probably heard of the AeroPress. It's a popular coffee maker that's known for producing a smooth and flavorful cup of coffee.

Before we dive into the recipe, let's first talk about what exactly AeroPress cold brew coffee is. Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period of time, usually 12-24 hours. The result is a coffee that's less acidic and smoother than traditional hot brewed coffee. AeroPress cold brew coffee is made using the same method, but with an AeroPress instead of a traditional cold brew coffee maker.

Step 5: Press the Coffee

After your coffee has finished steeping, it's time to press it. Place the AeroPress over a glass or pitcher and press down on the plunger slowly. This will force the coffee through the filter and into your glass or pitcher.
