^^ I personally don't bother with a bloom for Aeropress, just pour straight to 220ml (or whatever you're weighing to... certainly don't just do it by eye), and give it a quick stir. Been using 3 paper filters recently (a la Prufrock) and it does seem to give a cleaner brew. Screw those on (pre-rinsed), pull top down till the hissing stops, give it a spin, flip over after 1 min and press over 30 secs.
Must be a reason the best cafes stick to papers, when metal would save so much waste...
Still generally prefer V60.
