Thema: Aerobie Aeropress Coffee Maker

The fun about the AeroPress is just that so many brew parametres are possible, and there are loads of blogs with reciepes: just follow your preferations, I'd say
A couple of advices would be:
1: quality and temperature of water: don't let it boil, and don't scald the coffee with it..
2: coffee is adviced more than with any other brew methods to be relatively freshly roasted (too fresh gives way too much bloom to fight with). And freshly ground! No pre-ground; it just does not work well.
3: use a scale for both water and coffee: weigh the water and measure it at brew temperature, weigh the beans before ground.
4: grind and brew time: the last championships (there are World Championships in AeroPress ) still shows a liking both around 'filter' grind and towards 'moka pot', but apart from in the US, few uses espresso roast and grind in an AP. Not to say you can not do it

AeroPress bring out the sweetness and the clarity in coffee: myself, I prefer Latin American coffees like bourbon from El Salvador, or coffees from Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Costa Rica. Panama 'Geisha' comes out splendid if you let the water cool until between 90 and 80. Bolivia is another treasure! Ethiopia and Kenya are so rich in nuances, they do not always come through gently.

Inverted or other, I find it a fun tool, and in my own store we brew all black coffees as AP, and our regulars praise the softness of coffees like Aida Batlles 'Finca Kilimanjaro' brewed that way. There is no other way.
