Ah that sounds great, I'm definitely gonna give that a go! Gotta roast up some more but thanks for sharing that. It's bizarre how some recipes I've seen say to not stir, just pour water in, but it's quite visible looking through the see-through Aeropress that the water just doesn't penetrate the coffee enough and there are clear dry spots. And I'm loving lower temperature brews at the moment, makes such a massive difference, and it's cool seeing comp winners recipes even in the 70 degree ball park!
yeah have to say I stir quite vigorously all the way through and i think i would change my brew temp depending upon the roast im using definitely a lower temp for lighter roasts but the beans that im using at the moment are a bit darker than what I would usually use and the higher brew temp seems to pull the depth but not bitterness or astringency out of the roast might drop the brew temp a bit tomorrow though and see if i get the same results!
