My approach almost exactly matches Tony's method. In outdoor conditions
everything is more by feel/habit than by measurement or time. AeroPress
seems very forgiving to me.

The less precise method I use that works fine is an inverted one (I was ok

I bet a test taste on My inverted method of aeropress style.
I stood on my head this morning while using the inverted method and I got
confused about which end was up. I then went back to Costco French roast,
same old grinder, non-scientific steep and stir, and gotta another great
cupa outa the Aero. If you try too hard you can screw it up.

Bloom with a small amount of water and Stir more for sweeter coffee. Also get a
bean that's been roasted less.

I've only had mine for a few days now so I've yet to try either the
inverted or the Riv method, but I'll get there sooner or later. So far it
makes great tasting coffee just following the instructions that came with
it.

I don't believe Riv is selling the stainless steel reusable filter so this
should be kosher to post. Amazon has a couple versions, and I bought the el
cheapo version. It seems to be a near replica of the $15+ one
Pour over still gets a cleaner, more balanced taste in my opinion. Then again -
I prefer a sweeter, fruitier coffee over a darker, more extracted one.
They both exist comfortably side by side.

Having been intrigued by the discussion on this aeropress thread, curiosity
got the best of me and I ordered one. Made the first brew with it this
morning and I have to say that it's the best tasting cup of coffee I've had
in a long, long time (including the overpriced, hyped-up stuff you get
Before the Aero, I used to make drip coffee with Melita plastic cone and
paper filter that fit the cone. Made good coffee that way for years. Even
after 2 cups in the morning, I would occasionally like to treat myself to

the aeropress makes any coffee taste good. got one for my birthday last
year and haven't used anything since. the only problem is, in my
experience, it uses much more coffee than I would normally use for pour
over. but taste is everything, makes cheap coffee taste like expensive
coffee so in
Forgot to mention those used coffee grounds are great for composting and flower
beds.
I also reuse my filter for the aeropress about 3 or 4 times before throwing in
compost pile.
If I go beyond that I have had the filter fail and dump grounds into cup then
I have to get my tea strainer to
Aeropress - Let me know how that test goes. Aeropress - right side up or up

I am with Manny. Not sure where that leaves me as far as the battle lines

Inverted is all there is. Get the Coava Coffee stainless disc and it's even
better.

H, that's an interesting idea. How long do items like the cloves,
pods, cinnamon need to steep normally.
I love my aeropress and don't leave home without it. I just bought the
stainless steel filter and that's a really nice edition to the process.
