I saw this Q&A and you said "I then made five duplicates of the best version and loaned them to five high school teachers to use at home for two weeks. They loved them, so we went forward to production." Why did you choose high school teachers? Did you happen to pick five people and they were all high school teachers? It is super interesting. – From Hiroshi N.

previous post: Hi Alan, I tried the recommended cold brew recipe and I noticed that most of the water was already in the cup by the time I was done stirring. Is this expected? If not, what could I have done wrong? Thanks! – From Ali R.
next post: Hi Alan, I'm a huge fan of the Aeropress! I work for Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Portland and brew myself multiple cups a day. I am constantly preaching about how its the best coffee maker that ever existed. Anyway…. I have a strong desire to cut an Aeropress down to the bare minimum size possible. I am thinking just above the "2" on the brew half and just above the "1" on the plunger. Have you ever tried such a thing? Do you have any recommendations on the best device to use to cut an Aeropress? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your wonderful work! – From Tom G.
