Non-inverted, I start with this then change the timings a little;
- a splash of water, stir. Let it 'bloom' for 20s
- pour 85° water up to the '1 cup' mark, add the plunger and leave for 30s
- plunge but stop before it starts hissing (or keep going if you need more bitters)
Stir your coffee, or add water for a long drink.

The big revolution for me was leaving it for 3-4 minutes. I get a lot more flavour out of the beans and a richer texture. I use about 20g which makes it strong rather than refreshing. I love the texture you get out of an aeropress.
Aside from that: inverted with washed filter and stop plunging as soon as the hissing starts.

Keep it simple.
stirring is good, it helps even out extraction, but the more you stir the harder it is to repeat consistently.I like a 2 minute brew, 15-17g coffee for 240ml water.
Add half the water, leave for 45secs.
Add the second half of the water, this will store for youAdd cap, flip at 2mins and plunge slowly for 30-45secs.
Much plunge pressure, many agitation and therefore extraction.
Plunge smooth to keep a smooth flow of water.Stop before the hiss, removes some astringency from the finish

What's everyone's preferred method for aeropress brewing? Currently using inverted with a stir after a little water added, then topping water up to the top.
Keen to hear different though...
