Years ago I was looking at the winning recipes from the aeropress world championships - first place was 3 mins no stir and such and such a grind, second place 30 seconds and use a boat oar to stir violently, 3rd place some other random thing. My epiphany was: it doesnt freakin matter. Or at least, given quality coffee, decent water and everything within sensible parameters, then you cant go far wrong.
