Random thread update. Got an aero press today, made my first cup, very different than the french press. Any tips or pointers for the aero press?
0. Buy good coffee.
1. Wet your filter/pre-warm your cup.
2. Measure 18 grams of coffee beans. Grind your coffee, think of the size of sugar in the raw granules, or coarse sand.
3. Put coffee in aeropress. Fill to top with ~200° water. Let sit about 15 seconds. Stir gently to fully submerged your ground coffee. Lightly put plunger in to create a seal so water doesn't flow through the filter while brewing.
4. Depress plunger after 1:30-1:45.
5. Enjoy with your favorite cigar.
