In the video he showed a bottom valve (for lack of a better term) from Fellow. That seemed interesting to me as my main problem with the Aeropress has historically been that all the water leaks out as I’m brewing and there isn’t enough time for infusion. Does anybody have any experience with that? It’s only $25 so I might buy it just to see for myself.
Have you tried the inverted method to brew?
Yeah but I’m always worried I’m gonna spill coffee everywhere. I will say it works well when I’ve done it, it’s just nerve wracking. The Aeropress isn’t my daily driver so I don’t get a ton of practice.
I do the inverted method a lot and after the first few tries I haven’t had a spillage at all. Big thing to be careful of is make sure the plunger isn’t too close to coming out of the press.
I'm personally not a fan of the inverted method, moving parts around early in the morning before I've had coffee is a recipe for disaster. I've considered getting a prismo (the fellow attachment), but haven't bit the bullet because a little bit of drip doesn't bother me. But I know that it works well for stopping drips.
