Glad you found it useful! Just happy to make a contribution! :)
For a long time I’ve been using the James Hoffman method. If you’re curious, check him out on YouTube. He’s got an entire series on the aeropress and it’s great!
I have been watching Mr Hoffman, he is great!
Tried his method with my current beans, I think they are too darkly roasted for the brew time, comes out very bitter.
Looking to pick up something lightly roasted for my next bag.
You might have some luck adjusting your temperature or making your grind courser for those dark beans. Hotter water and finer grind will both increase your extraction rates and with a dark roast, it’s easier to pick up the bitterness.
