I don’t do inverted. I just add coffee and fill up the aeropress with boiling water. Then I put in the plunger to keep the water from dripping. After a minute or so I’ll do one swirl to get the grounds to sink to the bottom. The I way for like five to ten minutes and press slowly.
I use one filter and usually go for a light roast. I also tried stirring with a spoon but I seem to prefer the swirl
Well yeah, I just wait until I ate something and often not that long at all. But interestingly longer steep times don’t seem to lead to overextraction. Here’s a blog post about that: https://coffeeadastra.com/2021/09/07/reaching-fuller-flavor-profiles-with-the-aeropress/ check out the TL;DR at the end!
