I just got my first Aeropress. It seems like there are a lot of recommended brewing variations out there. What do you think is the best coffee/water ratio + water temperature + timings for steep/stir/plunge?

This morning I tried SweetMarias recommendation of "2 scoops", 195º water up to the top of #2 bubble. steep 10s, stir 10s, plunge 10-20s. (i couldn't figure out what "2 scoops" was, so I tried 20g).

thanks!

I've never gotten in to Areopress. @mike_white can offer the best advice as always. Check out the Time Wendelboe Aeropress video though...it's pretty incredible.

This has everything you need to know: buzzfeed.com

I've tried a few variations on the basic method (grind, water, step for 45 secs, stir then plunge) and they all pretty much taste the same to me.

thanks guys!

I'm a huge fan of the inverted method, so much that I finally (just last week) wrote a step by step guide with photos. Sometimes easier to follow than video instructions. phillydesignblog.com

@danya thanks! love the step-by-step guide with photos. way better than video!
