Aeropress recommends using one full scoop of coffee and filling about halfway for brewing. They claim that filling the press with water overextracts. Simply dilute to taste after brewing the recommended way. Try both and see if one tastes better to you. On Sunday, March 29, 2015 at 9:12:51 AM

Aeropress users: I have an aeropress, but when I use it according to the directions, the coffee is way strong, much stronger than the coffee I made with my Melitta filter. Is that just the way the coffee is supposed to be, or should I use half the ground coffee they say? The aeropress is a fussy

Dear Anne, It is coffee. Adjust to taste, either by watering it down directly or using less coffee per cup. I ended up with 24g of coffee per 10oz cup, and run all the water through the grounds. I do find the Aeropress is neater than my french press (cleanup is very simple), and produces a

Ann - one heaping scoop is fine. Fill water close to top and stir for 10 seconds. Let your arm weight do the plunging - no need to push hard. Add water after to taste. Aeropress is an espresso maker, so it makes a strong cup if sipped straight. Still smoother than a machine. The biggest thing
