Crema Coffee has a detailed brewing method that they call the Inverted Aeropress method. Being an Aeropress newbie, I'm not sure if this is commonplace, but this is something I intend to try out.
I do like the idea of getting more water into the Aeropress than the official method, from which this differs dramatically.
You can check out their website for the full instructions, but this is basically it...
put the plunger in the aeropress just enough to make a seal.
turn it upside-down
put in coffee
rinse the filter under running water to reduce bleached papery taste (a step that can be applied regardless of the method.)
pour in water and stir
wait 45 seconds
put on the filter and cap
turn over onto cup
push down the plunger slowly and steadily.
There are a few things I like better about this method, on paper anyway. First is the longer brewing time. Second, more water is used to brew the coffee. Third, they suggest a more traditional water temperature.
I'll be trying this, and any other Aeropress methods I can think of, and will provide furhter comparisons.
