My wife and I go back and forth between our Aeropress and our espresso machine. Agreed on all counts re: routine. I add water in two, 50% lifts. First sits for 30 seconds, the second for a minute. Cover, flip, press. She likes the water straight out of the kettle. I wait for her and get a slightly cooler, and I think less bitter, cup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
