I recently got an aeropress and have been obsessively researching recipes, filters and techniques. I found one particularly interesting technique that isn't mentioned elsewhere that I've seen. It's an inverted technique in which you carefully start the press with the aeropress still inverted so the bloom is forced through the filter. Then you carefully tilt in to direct it into the cup and then flip it fully for the rest of the push. The article claims that a lot of the oils are present in the bloom and this technique is necessary to get them into the cup. I tried it today and it's surprisingly not that hard to do this without spilling it, I got it first go no problem and the cup definitely seemed to have more oils present.
Anyway, the article is here: https://sites.google.com/site/scottm...orbettercoffee
It is mostly advocating the polyester filter that is talked about elsewhere. I just used an Able disk which seemed to work fine. I was wondering whether others here have tried and/or discussed this technique and what people thought of it.
