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 you
Add 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
