AeroPress
His aim was to find a method of preparation that would produce the best flavor and taste without the undesired bitterness and acidity.

Taste and Aroma
Coffee brewed with the has more body than the one prepared with or . Also, the coffee contains little to no bitterness and unpleasant acidity.Taste and aroma depend very much on the coffee used, the grind level and brewing time.
Grind Level for AeroPress
The degree of grinding should be a bit finer than the one for the filter - like table salt. If the grinding is too fine, this is often expressed by too bitter a taste (the brew and extraction time is too long, bitter substances are thus dissolved from the coffee).Coffee Quantity per Serving for AeroPress

The inverted method
