I ran across a pair of AeroPress videos by Lance Hedrick and thought I would post them.
This video had a few good tips and a recipe that I will probably try:

This video had two recipes. One is for coffees beans that are really old or are roasted darker than you like. The second recipe is for underdeveloped coffees or coffees roasted lighter than you like.

I have been trying out different brewers for traveling but I think I have come full circle and am back to the AeroPress.
I want to take my Timemore Youth Pour over kettle on the road but I need to use recipes that require 92C or less as boiling water dropped into a room temperature kettle will drop to 93C immediately. If I preheat the kettle with boiling water then add boiling water a second time, I can get another degree or two out of it but that wastes time, energy and water (unless you recycle the water for the initial heating).
I was trying out the glass Kalita 155 and the plastic Timemore B75 using the 1zpresso JX and the Timemore kettle but the combination was not working well so far with the Wicked Joe Organic Coffee Co. (Topsham, Maine) - Guatemala Huehuetenango bean with the recipes I was currently using. I was using the Timemore Black Mirror scale which does not have a flow meter (like my Acaia Perl 2021) and the Timemore kettle pours differently than my Oxo goose neck kettle, so I am sure my pours are very different than usual. That combined with a different grinder adds up to different results. I could change recipes and keep tweaking things but I think I will shift the AeroPress for the moment as most of my AeroPress brew history is with the JX grinder (instead of trying to find the conversion between my K-Ultra and JX grinders) .
