So I have an Aeropress (highly recommend because of cleaning ease) but I couldn't even wait more than a couple minutes because it will start draining through the filter almost immediately. If I waited four minutes there would be nothing to even press... Have I been doing this wrong somehow the whole time?

Pro tip - put the aeropress upside down and fill it up from the bottom, then screw on the filter, flip and into the cup it goes.

Oh man, I feel stupid now...

Don't be, the way you do it is the official way, I think? The upside down one is the way people have discovered to give the brewing process more flexibility.

You're supposed to add the coffee and water, then place the plunger into the top of the cylinder to hold everything in, giving the coffee time to steep. Here's a good example of how to use an Aeropress.

So that's sort of where the confusion comes in. The aeropress comes with a stirring rod and recommends stirring before pressing. But if you stir it, more than half the liquid has drained out the filter before you can even get the plunger on.

I will try this next time.
