I’ve been really happy with the following lately:
16g:275ml coffee:water, coffee ground on the fine side of medium. Wet paper filter, 205 degrees Fahrenheit water, conventional brew, 10 minute extraction, swirl to settle grounds to bottom of the press, and a gentle plunge.
It’s considerably more work than a prismo recipe, but I think its well worth it
I don’t do inverted. I just add coffee and fill up the aeropress with boiling water. Then I put in the plunger to keep the water from dripping. After a minute or so I’ll do one swirl to get the grounds to sink to the bottom. The I way for like five to ten minutes and press slowly.
I use one filter and usually go for a light roast. I also tried stirring with a spoon but I seem to prefer the swirl
That seems like a long time to wait! I have only ever done that when I walk away and forget about it.
Well yeah, I just wait until I ate something and often not that long at all. But interestingly longer steep times don’t seem to lead to overextraction. Here’s a blog post about that: https://coffeeadastra.com/2021/09/07/reaching-fuller-flavor-profiles-with-the-aeropress/ check out the TL;DR at the end!
Inverted seems scary to me… boiling water is hot.
Yeah, but that’s what I mean. If you just put the plunger in, you get a similar thing with the steeping time really high. But no need for the actual inverted method :D
