Surefire AeroPress Cold Brew Overnight With Fellow Prismo Recipe
For this one, we’ll follow the cold brew recipe provided by Fellow, the makers of the Prismo.
It’s a little bit different from a standard AeroPress inverted cold brew recipe. The reason for this is that you can leave it sitting in the regular position because the Prismo is air-tight.
You’ll prefer leaving the AeroPress in the regular position, as it’s a lot more stable.
Also, it produces a cold brew concentrate, so when it’s ready, you’ll need to add some extra water or milk to it.
You can learn more about the Prismo and all its unique benefits here.

Ingredients
- An AeroPress
- A Fellow Prismo
- 35 grams of coarsely ground coffee – due to the long steeping time, if it’s fine, the result will be bitter
- 130 grams of water (room temperature)
Steps
- Prepare the AeroPress by placing it in the inverted position. Insert the plunger just above the number 4 on the AeroPress chamber.
- Pour in your 35 grams of ground coffee and 130 grams of water.
- Stir the coffee for at least 20 seconds.
- Attach the Fellow Prismo cap onto the end of the AeroPress chamber.
- Place the AeroPress in your fridge for at least 12 and up to 24 hours. If using a Fellow Prismo, you can place it either in the regular position.
- Once you’ve left it for between 12 – 24 hours, grab your best glass mug (with ice added, if you want to make it extra cold!) and place the AeroPress on top. Press the AeroPress into your cup.
- Add sugar/milk to taste and enjoy your delicious reward. It’s well worth the wait!
Be aware that this can wear out the rubber gasket on your AeroPress plunger. It’s best not to leave it compressed inside the main chamber.
Brewing cold brew with this method is doing just that, so if that bothers you, don’t use this method too often.

Now let’s take a look at the most surprising one yet, recipe number three!
Badass Cold Brew With The PuckPuck AeroPress Attachment
OK, I’ve got a confession to make. I’m going to be completely honest here.
This next recipe isn’t an overnight recipe. It’s the sneakiest of all three, but in a life-changing way!
I thought I should share it with you though, because of its massive time-saving ability.
The long brew time is one of the only agonizing downsides to cold brew. Who doesn’t want to turbocharge their cold brew, right?!
In fact, it should only take about 2 ½ to 3 hours to brew. That’s unbelievable!
“How is that possible”, you ask? It’s all due to the help of a fascinating AeroPress attachment called the PuckPuck.
What’s The PuckPuck And What Makes It So Extraordinary?
The PuckPuck is an innovative puck-shaped AeroPress cold brew attachment.
It controls the flow of water into your AeroPress, helping you to make a delicious slow-drip cold brew.
By tightening or loosening the PuckPuck, you can effortlessly speed up or slow down the drip rate.
It’s recommended to have a drip rate of about 50 drips per minute. There’s even a simple app for Apple and Android to help you achieve the best drip rate.
