You should only use the AeroPress to make one cup of coffee at a time. Don’t weigh anything, don’t use external measures. One scoop of beans, grind, fill with water to the 4, stir, press and drink.

Aeropress is an excellent, convenient way to make one cup of great coffee. That is its virtue. It is a single-purpose device and it is fantastic at performing that purpose. If you’re making more than one cup, use another method.

If you’re weighing, measuring, taking precise temperatures and timing precisely, you need to rethink your life choices and go outside and touch grass.

Also, the AeroPress XL is an abomination.
