Jonathan Gagné presents us with a great and somewhat radical recipe (which is backed up by various studies from coffee to even geophysics) which is differentiated by its 10-minute brew-time.

Without writing too much here - it's worth taking a read of Jonathan's in depth blog post on this recipe and watching the video below.

AeroPress®

Choose a sturdy mug where the AeroPress can fit with a good level.
Place a dry filter on and screw the lid on tightly.
Place your dry coffee dose in the dripper and shake left-to-right to make it flat. I like to use a dose of about 18 grams.
Start a timer, and pour 100°C water until the AeroPress is filled — this is about 260 grams of water, or a bit more, because some water will drip.
Using a spoon or the plastic stick that comes with the AeroPress, stir in a back and forth motion from the complete bottom of the dripper all the way to the top. Avoid circular stirs !
Place the plunger a few millimeters deep onto the AeroPress chamber. This will cause a bit of water to escape; don’t sweat it.
Remove the AeroPress from your scale, and give it a swirl to level the coffee bed.
At the 5 minutes mark, give the AeroPress another thorough swirl.
At the 9 minutes mark (or later), start pressing on the plunger gently. It usually takes me a bit more than 1 minute to press it all the way down.
