Ritual Coffee, Organic Quilanga, Ecuador - Inverted Aeropress preparation (2nd aeropress)

For a slightly alternative take, we chose the "inverted" method of the aeropress (google it, you'll find a whole bunch of different tutorials). The change we implemented was as follows: Rather than stand up the press on our pot to be diluted, with the filter side down, you position it with the opening pointed upwards. Additionally, rather than a 40 second exposure, we used 2 minutes of time, before positioning the press above the pot, pressing slowly out the coffee, and diluting up to our normal 3 cups.

The Ritual Coffee Co, Organic Quilanga, had a more tangy, syrupy tone to it than with less exposure. Probably a good intermediate method to satisfy those who like the flavor of darker roasts, even with a lighter roasted coffee.
