second crack with the porlex/aeropress combo. (don't worry I won't post everytime I make a cup of coffee from now on)
beans: herbazu (st ali)
porlex: 5 clicks (still looks pretty rough)
weight: unsure (1 aeropress scoop of grounds)
time from pour to plunge: 40s (someone was talking to me in the middle)
result: a much more drinkable cup, decent strength but still lacking in some of the flavours I've had from the herbazu before.
will stick with 5 clicks for now and play about with the overall steep/pouring times now.
also came up with workable solution for people coming in and nicking the water from the kettle when I'm waiting for it to come back from the boil a little by finding a jug in the recesses of the cupboards. can now pour my water out and move to the other kitchen counter to get things done just so in my own time while the chimps continue to fight for the kettle and catering tin of nescafe gold.
