To make an Espresso Martini with an Aeropress, you’ll need the following ingredients:

- Start by brewing a shot of coffee using your Aeropress. Grind 15 grams of coffee beans to a fine consistency, and then place them into the Aeropress chamber. Heat up water to about 93°C and pour it over the coffee. Stir for about 10 seconds, then plunge the Aeropress for about 30 seconds to extract the coffee.
- Let the coffee cool down to room temperature.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, and cooled Aeropress coffee to the shaker.
- Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to combine all the ingredients and create a frothy layer on top of the cocktail.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with 3 coffee beans on top of the frothy layer.
- Serve and enjoy!
