Dialed in my Aeropress method after countless attempts.

The coffee tastes balanced and full every time now. Using a slightly coarser grind was the key change.

Interesting. Always had better luck with a finer grind myself. Gets more flavor out of the beans. Coarser just tasted weak and sour. Maybe it depends on the coffee roast.

The bag of light roast from Colombia I got last week. Every coffee guru has a different magic trick for the perfect cup. William swears by fine grind, you say coarse is key. I tried both and now my counter is covered in little grounds piles. It's like we're all trying to solve a puzzle that changes daily. My buddy uses a two-dollar drip machine and loves his coffee, so maybe we're all just overthinking this.

How many bags did you ruin before finding your method? I dumped out so many bad cups it was pathetic. My breakthrough came when I stopped listening to advice and just tasted the coffee. If it's sour, go finer; if it's bitter, go coarser. Now I tweak one thing at a time until it works, no more guesswork.
