These Madcap Brew Guides are so underrated. They're much more simple and accessible than a lot of the other brew guides out there from coffee roasters, yet effective.
I've been using AP for about 4 years. This IMO was far too complicated. I use the AP measuring spoon filled to the brim with freshly ground coffee, add to AP using the funnel. Remove funnel and add some boiling water, stir and allow to bloom for a few seconds. Then add water almost to top and continue to stir. After a couple of minutes I top off with hot water, cap, invert and push. Then add cream or not. Maybe the measuring, etc would produce a better coffee, but my taste buds are happy with what I brew. Love the AeroPress
You’ll have a different cup every day doing it like that. If you want consistency a recipe (any recipe, complicated or simple - but consistent using measurements which is so easy with a scale) will get you a similar cup each day so you’re not surprised and left wondering why your coffee is wild one day. I’m not trying to play coffee roulette in the morning before my first cup. I follow inverted method, 14/200, stir (OR vigorous pour making sure all grounds are wet), 1min brew, stir, flip, press.

Since you're using scoop to add coffee and filling water to same spot on chamber, you are essentially following a recipe. You are just not using a scale or a timer. As a result the only real variable in your recipe is time. However, if you do it everyday you've probably pretty much using the same time. It's like playing sports, repetition is the key so that the basics become automatic.
These aren’t recipes, are they. The ingredients are the same, ground coffee beans and water. These are different techniques. So much hype around a hot beverage!

Accessible was our number 1 goal. Thank you for the kind words!
I appreciate good videos and good coffee here, best of both worlds ;)
Nice. I'm about to brew with aeropress right now. Thanks for this!
Enjoy your brew!

You're using the inverted method and not weighing the coffee and water? There's a maniac on the loose!
