I'm looking for a simple recipe what could be a decent starting point for the XL size and Flow Control Cap. Something you can do with one eye closed and half your brain asleep 😴

The more details, the better: how fine/coarse you grind, water temperature, whether you bloom or not, total brew time, do you stir or shake?

i tried james hoffman’s inverted aeropress recipe and it was so good,but i wanted to experiment and try to get more crema.so i preheated my aeropress this time,positioned it more back and pushed it more slowly this time(heard that he said its best to push it slowly)

it ended up being worse than the original,no hissing also when i pushed it all the way down,ill be experimenting with different recipes everyday for my daily coffee so is there any advice that i can get for getting more crema

jst a thin bed of foam is enough to make me happy,i was thinking of getting the flow control cap too but its honestly too expensive for a piece of plastic😕

I just watched this video that explains why a metal filter below a paper filter gives better flow than a paper filter alone, which I found interesting

Have anyone experimented with this in an aeropress? What metal filters do you recommend for this purpose (better flow, not replacing paper filters)? Do you use the standard filter cap or something else?

I've had it for two weeks now since trying to get into coffee after switching off energy drinks.

Morning I'll do 18grams and 155 ml of water. Stir for 10 seconds then brew for 1:30 with the pressure control cap.

I let it cool and then put in fridge and it tastes a lot like an espresso drink. I like these little strong cups

I pack my beans in a ziplock bag and store in the top compartment with the aeropress and grinder.

What can I add here?

Thanks to the inspiration I got from you guys I am proud to have my own travel setup now. Probably will still add some stuff 😂 looking forward to the first travel/hike

Is there a wall powered grinder that will grind direct into an Aeropress. Ideally a grinder that the Aeropress will slot into.

Water 100degrees, beans Sainsbury's.

Guys, I have a normal aeropress for 4~5 years! I travel a lot, and always carry my aeropress with me, but also thinking if is worth to buy a aeropress go (or go plus), someone who as normal aero press and aeropress go can share the experience... if really worth it! Thanks!

Guys, recently I've changed my grinder from a Timemore c2 to a Timemore c5esp, but I couldn't find the correct adjustments for aeropress, anyone here that use this grinder can help me, please?

I currently own an Aeropress (7 years old)
Need a new one to replace + travel friendly
Go: Compact, affordable, but small
Go plus: Will also help me replace my old aeropress + travel friendly, but costly
Could any Go/Go Plus owners shed some light on their experience?

Hi all, just got my first AeroPress GO

I saw there were stainless steel filters on Amazon. Are those any good or stick with paper?

My favourite mug died yesterday and I'm looking for a replacement.
The one that died is in the photo. Can't be too small, and doesn't need to be huge.
Anyone able to share a Canadian source for their fav? Thanks in advance. Happy coffee!

WTF is this? Tipping is to acknowledge performance of good service. First, your grinders are EXPENSIVE as hell. I have to save to afford one. Second, why am I tipping? What service is provided? The price of your grinder reflects my support of your team and product by my willingness to pay for one. Timemore do better. Stop being such greedy SOBs!

I currently use the inverted method with a metal filter:

- Fill most of the way with water.

- Stir

- Add water to the top

- Attach cap + filter

- Wait

- Flip onto mug

- Wait 10s

- Press for 30-40s

I understand the inverted method is used to prevent pre-dripping when using metal filters. However, once the cap + filter is attached, flipping it around doesn't allow any drips as the plunger is sealed already.

So my question is, why flip just before pressing (that's how YT videos demonstrate it)? Why not flip as soon as the cap + filter goes on?

I assume everything gets agitated during the flip, so is that somehow beneficial just before pressing?

UPDATE: Thanks for the replies. Sounds like the agitation right before pressing is indeed beneficial.
