Just wondering here whether anyone else manages to 'choke' their Aeropress. When the Brio was up and running, grinding too fine would often result in the 'choking' phenomenon. Question is, has anyone else had this happen in the Aeropress. I normally grind to about an espresso gring in my Rocky, usually with about 1.5 scoops of beans, and then nearly fill the Aeropress.
Love the intense flavours and the real punch of the coffee (quite often with miilk) but can sometimes end up with a big explosion, and ground coffee and hot water spraying out the sides, happened this morning on a nice new clean white shirt . So has anyone else had this problem, and have you just got around it by grinding coarser.
I have to really force the plunger down, and as I say I love the coffee, just not so keen on the mess sometimes.
Anyway, great device, and I have some more beans from Steve in the post, including the El Salvador Finca Las Victorias COE so I'll probably be posting another of my rambling reviews on Steve's site
