Default Re: French press

After reading the 'how to' on the Aeropress, have a question...
Directions say 2 scoops coffee with water poured to the number 2 line. Can you use 3 scoops with water poured to the number 3 for more coffee with the same strength and flavor? Same question for the number 4.

Yep. That's exactly how it works.

I have a couple Aeropresses, love 'em, and one of the things I've learned is how to brew different strengths of coffee by changing coffee amount, water amount, and steeping times. Pretty fun to experiment.

my Aeropress is ready to pack it in after a few years of use. Coffee grinds eventually wear the walls of the cylinder so the rubber plunger doesn't seal anymore.

Also it's worth it to get the stainless steel filter after all your paper filters run out.
