Interesting. I've not watched the movie but I disagree with the inventor on the type of coffee he tries to make with the Aeropress.

From what I recall he tries to make a more "espresso" style coffee and then dilute it. I prefer to just go 15g coffee to 250g of water for a single normal cup. No dilution.

yeah, he also doesn't steep, but I find that you need to steep for a few minutes unless you want to under extract your beans.

I also greatly prefer a metal filter over paper as it lets more flavor through, but people who don't like flavor call that "acidity" or "bitterness". ️
