Somewhat bewildered by the millions of Aeropress recipes on youtube, I'm wondering if daily users end up settling into a reliable, simple process that's similar from person to person.

In particular, I note that my method (basically a french press) is vastly different from the one in the instructions which is ground much finer, uses less water, and starts dripping through the filter immediately.

Anyway, here's me:

• 12g mild-roast (coarse ground a touch finer than most people would use for a french press, done with a C2)
• inverted
• one filter paper, not washed, but damp enough to stick
• fresh boiled water (so probs 95°+) 180g
• stir enough to break up the floaties
• push the plunger in far enough that the liquid is almost at the top before I put the filter on
• tip over and start plunging at 1:30, finish by 2:00
• into ~70g warmed milk

I'd love to hear yours.
