Post up your favorite aeropress recipes!

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

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

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/... check out the TL;DR at the end!

The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.
