I have just got one and am using the inverted method. 15g of coffee, 200ml of water, stir, leave for around one minute, stir again, flip and press. I have not been blown away by the coffee it has made. Perhaps too much hype or maybe I need to work on it. I have only used it around four times so far. The coffee just takes a bit too ''clean'' and I think I might go back the humble cafetiere tomorrow.

I think this is a common feeling on here as I’ve mentioned it in the past and others have agreed. It does make quite thin coffee without a lot of mouth feel, I think because it filters a lot out compared to other methods including V60. It makes quite a weak tasting brew compared to a V60 with the same amount of coffee and I find it a bit inefficient in comparison, in terms of how much coffee I get through.
I use mine at work, not at home. In its defence, it’s much more convenient at work than a V60 because it needs less care like pouring etc, it’s quicker and the puck just dumps straight into the bin with no drips.
I haven’t managed to successfully work out any of these short drinks topped up with water. I find it soaks out too much heat if you do that. It’s best just for a basic filter coffee, brewed inverted so it doesn’t dribble out everywhere.
