I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy.

I haven't had too many Kenya coffees, but if you have a whole foods nearby this one tastes good to me.

What kind(s) of coffee have you found work well with that recipe? Dark? Medium?

I've used it on decaf medium roast, Kona, and my current Kona blend and it works great, but I needed to adjust the amount of coffee as it can brew pretty strong for my tastes. I go between 14g and 12g of coffee and use a grind size equal to that I use on the V60, which is 26/27 on my Encore ESP.

I use water that's 175 F, which is close enough. I also put in more water... I have the plunger pulled all the way below the number 4 and pour water all the way to just before the top to leave a small space to stir without making a mess. I think it's like 225 or so ml. I use a chopstick to stir.

I also see a few other second places ones that are only a few steps. For me the aeropress recipe needs to be like 4 steps and take under a minute.
