AeroPress hack I stumbled onto: 30 second steep instead of 60

Brewed 3 cups back to back and the shorter steep actually brought out sweeter notes without bitterness. Anyone else mess with steep times on their AeroPress?

Wait are you using the inverted method or the regular way with that shorter steep?

Oh yeah I've messed around with both but honestly for the shorter steep times I just do it regular way. Inverted is too much hassle when you're only going 2-3 minutes, and I found the cleanup slows me down more than it's worth. I usually aim for 2:30 with water right off boil and it comes out pretty balanced without any bitterness.

Huh yeah shorter steep times just work better for most stuff honestly.
