The winning AeroPress recipe in Italy this year?
In September we went to the Italian AeroPress Championship 2026 at Coffee Tech Lab Roma in Rome, organized by La Marzocco and Accademia del Caffè Espresso. 24 competitors, the same coffee from Honduras, blind judging.
🥇 Silvio Rascioni: 18 g coffee, 250 g water at 85°C, inverted, flip at 2:30
🥈 Mattia Maculotti: 15 g coffee, 115 g water at 86°C, then topped up after pressing to a final drink weight of 150 g
🥉 Gianni Dylan Caputo: 18 g coffee added in two doses of 9 g, 200 g water
After the championship, we reached out to the finalists, and they shared their recipes with us. Swipe through the photos for every step.
Our tip if you’re starting out: Mattia’s recipe is the easiest to copy. Standard paper filter, a popular hand grinder, four steps.
Next stop for Silvio: the World AeroPress Championship final in Mexico City on December 6. 🇮🇹🇲🇽
