Thank you.. I appreciate the Reply...
I figured I had the wrong grind and might need to go to a finer grind. I like the inverted which I tried ( the only other time I have used the aeropress ) because it seemed to give me the ability of a longer steep time..
I use a very fine grind. Not quite espresso, but close. I also use two filters per brew. Here's how I brew traditional style.
- Measure beans (19 grams)
- Set up AeroPress (traditional method w/ two filters)
- Begin heating the water
- Grind beans
- Once water is hot, pour a little in to wet filters
- Add coffee
- Pour up to the "4" marker on the side
- Stir for 10 seconds (note time)
- Insert plunger into the very top of the chamber (do not begin pressing)
- Wait a full 60 seconds from the stirring
- Slowly plunge, pausing for 5 seconds at every number marker
- Enjoy
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the reply. I just now saw it. Sorry. I will try that and see if it will help me... The cup I made today was for my wife and she found a red velvet blend she likes ( she doesnt drink much coffee ).. I was trying to make her feel better because after the 1st shot yesterday she felt pretty rough this morning...I use a very fine grind. Not quite espresso, but close. I also use two filters per brew. Here's how I brew traditional style.
Personally I find the AeroPress works best with darker roasts or medium / dark blends.

I tried inverted twice and made a mess. I do it the “normal” way but put the plunger in just a touch after I stir so then the water doesn’t drip down until I push it.
Interesting read..

I tried the Cabernet finished coffee today. 
The smell of the beans had a soft but very sweet berry note at the end. The nose of the coffee has a lot of chocolate, cocoa, and leathery almost moldy red fruits. The taste is just all wrong. I can logically put it together, but the fermented red fruit tastes comes across as almost a rotten note. I guess that makes sense when you add something fermented to coffee? Had enough to make 2 pots. Think I’ll just be tossing the other half. I have high hopes for the scotch coffee tomorrow!

Coffee Bean Corral has samplers on sale for $15. For the price you get five 1/2 lb bags from the region of your choice. I chose Africa, and it's en route. Shipping pushed the cost of the green beans to $24; still respectable for 2-1/2 lbs of coffee.
