Let's get down to brass tacks. What recipe do you use? [1]

Aeropress is also my favourite method. It's easy to experiment with the main variables than most other devices - water temperature, grind size, immersion time, coffee/water ratio. I find better than the French press - and I think the main factor is that you add some pressure to the process. Aeropress is also easier to clean.

Again, hugely overcomplicating.

Scoop of coffee, grind, add, pour in some water from a boiled kettle, stir, wait for a minute or three, invert, press.

In the spirit of no over complications: don't bother inverting.

Here is a weird coffee person succinctly explaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6VlT_jUVPc

Even better: don't press. Let the grounds sink to the bottom and don't drink them.

Are you suggesting drinking directly from the top of the aeropress?!

Might have to give that a try.
