I’ve had my aeropress for years and have a love/hate relationship with it. I go on streaks that make incredible cups, followed by the worst cups of my life when I inevitably forget the ratios or change grinds. I really do like it and wish I could be a snob but I just settle for my Nespresso (when it isn’t broken and needing warranty replacement, again).

You could like, write down the ratio and coffee brand and such

I could but then I wouldn't be able to justify my irrational need for a new coffee machine.

To be fair though, I've written it down and tried that. Maybe it's my perception that changes or the little unaccounted nuances add up to big differences. Right now, I have a bold Cuban batch from Key West that tastes like burnt plastic no matter the amount of water or brew time.

Sounds like robusta...

If it is, there's nothing you can do about the burnt rubber flavour. That's a feature of the type of coffee

1 scoop grounds, heat water to 190f, fill water between 1 and 2 mark, steep 1 minute, press. Brilliance every time.
