  • I’ve been trying out Lance Hedrick’s Aeropress method for older or darker roasts where you use a ton of very coarsely-ground coffee, fairly cool water and get it through the Aeropress quickly.

    I think my main takeaway is that I’ve not been grinding coarsely enough. However, 25g of coffee is a LOT of coffee to use for the resulting beverage. 20g and leaving it to steep for longer yields just as much beverage, similar taste, but uses 20% less coffee in the process.

    In an Aeropress? Absolutely IMO! I think I normally go for around 14g or so (but also not a regular Aeropress user, so I'm not going to say my way is the optimal one)
