I'm very confused how you get to the point where water and coffee are mixing in your Aeropress before adding the filter. I know that people like messing around with their coffee, but I assumed that the process had to be 1) filter, 2) coffee and water, 3) plunger end cap. (I guess you could switch 1 and 3, but I'm pretty sure liquid physics means that you need a container before you add the water)

It isn’t in the instructions for some reason, but some people put the plunger into the Aeropress first, flip the whole thing upside down, and then put the beans and water in what normally would be the bottom. It makes more sense to me, although it is probably just silliness. Some water escapes before brewing if you go filter down!
