I always run a very fine grind in my aeropress, and don't let it steep at all. Others use a coarse grind, let it stand for 60-90 seconds, and pull their coffee like a french press.
My comment about Ily is that it's an aribaca coffee, just like Lavazza and whilst it has a bold initial flavour, it's hollow and empty behind. IMO It's not a good coffee for determining whether your grind/pull set up is any good. You want a bean with a more complex note which you can either fuck up or make sing depending how you treat it.
But if you like Ily, and your moka pot, stick with it. if it ain't broke...!
