Standard (upright) AeroPress recipes

Standard recipes use the AeroPress the way it was designed: filter cap on, brewer sitting on your cup, add coffee and water, then press. No flipping, so it is the simplest and safest method, and the one James Hoffmann and Alan Adler both favour.

Some water drips through before you press, which these recipes account for. If you want zero drip-through, try the inverted recipes instead.
