Making coffee in an aero-press Upside Down I use 1/4 cup of coffee medium fine grind per 12oz cup (.35 liter), and I wet the filter so it sticks in the cap...some say it makes it taste better - but my taste buds must a bit insensitive...I don't taste any 'paper' taste even when I forget to wet it...(or maybe I just like the flavor paper imparts)... I roast all our coffee and it is so fresh that it tends to foam up a bit, so I take care that the foam or grounds never get on top of the rim where the lid must fit down...if it doesn't fit right you will not be able to tighten the filter and it may ruin the cup (you have to empty the aero-press, clean it and start over) Making it upside down stirs/mixes the coffee grounds better, and speeds up the process slightly. I stir with a chopstick, because their big paddle just sloshes and makes messes. I'm using a small stainless pitcher (pre-heated) to add freshly boiled water instead of trying to pour from a large pitcher. Also we use a ZOJIRUSHI 2 liter water heater to boil the water and keep it hot. I pre-heat both the stainless pitcher and the glass (cup) I'm making the coffee in. French Press demands boiling water to be successful, but the Aero-Press will work with 175°F (80°C). Our ZOJIRUSHI keeps it at 195°F (90.5°C0 I've been using the Aero-Press daily since early 2010 I use the funnel to pour grounds into the Aero-Press so it will keep the grounds out of the rim-slot which will cause the lid not to fit down and can ruin a ...
