Acidy Hybrid 1:13.333

Creator: Benedek Suri

The idea came from a conversation on Reddit, the commenter stating the fruity acids come from the percolation phase.

By percolation here, it means leaving it to sit in standard position with no plunger to stop it dripping, so the water slowly drips through for a minute or so before plunging.

By using a hybrid of percolation and immersion while brewing your AeroPress, you might reap the benefits that come from both methods.
