The more coffee and/or the finer the grind, the more important it is that you press gently. Because pressing hard (even briefly) will compact the coffee and block the flow. So always press gently and be patient. It might take 60 seconds or longer.

- next post: My sons and I LOVE our Aeropress!~ I recently purchased one for myself, so we have two in our home currently. Our question is is there a larger version of this fabulous coffee press available? If not, would the company consider making a larger version for it's devoted customers, to make two to four cups at a time?? My eldest son, has to run two presses at one time for his ice coffee fix. We all agree, it would be a wonderful addition to the original press and great increase in sales opportunity… we'd purchase an additional larger version to keep in our home! – From Karen C.
