My eyeballing technique works fairly well with the inverted method.
1) Place the plunger in until it just reaches the edge of the no. 4 marking's outer circle.
2) Add in the coffee so that it's about as deep as the thickness of the plunger's rubber stopper.
3) Add hot water up to the line just below the Aeropress's foot/collar.
4) Give it a couple of gentle stirs and wait ~2 minutes.
5) Add the filter and cap, place your cup on top to contain any splashes, then invert.
6) Plunge slowly so that the water passes through the filter rather than being forced out the sides.
That should give you roughly 12g to 200g brew ratio. Have drawn a crude guide.
