Inspired by the many ways in which the AeroPress can be used, 2007 World Barista Champion and London’s Square Mile Coffee Roasters co-founder James Hoffmann created the Coffee Brewing Dice.
The Coffee Brewing Dice set, specifically for the AeroPress, is made up of a set of five cubes that are labeled with different values such as the recipe, brew temperature, stirring techniques, grind size and brew time. As a result, Hoffmann describes that the set of dice makes it possible to discover "7,776 different potential recipes for how to brew your AeroPress."
As well as being of use when deciding upon an AeroPress recipe to make, the Coffee Brewing Dice are also said to be useful communication tools for conversations with team members and customers centered around coffee.
