Ah, I was not clear about the brewing water. The extraction is made with water just off boil, so it is a standard hot extraction. My final bean:water ratio is 1:18 which is fairly standard. I use that to scale up recipes when I do other things.
I don’t really consider any pressure from the Aeropress. With a clean paper filter or metal one, the pressure feels inconsequential. The Aeropress benefits to me are the immersion brew method of the grounds and the repeatability and adjustability of the brew since it’s all manual. You can tweak every variable, and I’ve never ended up with anything undrinkable from cowboy coffee to wannabe espresso.
Ohhh. I see. Using the Aeropress to make concentrated coffee, letting it cool overnight, and then deciding how you want to serve it by what you add to it in the morning. Makes sense to me.
