Recently tried Bluetokai Attikan Estate and really liked it. Been experimenting a bit, but still figuring out brew time, ratios etc.

Next plan is trying a coarser grind with the inverted method using Vienna Roast and Baarbara Estate. Hoping to get a cleaner/sweeter cup without overextracting. Most of the time I end up with a bitter coffee.

Would love any tips/suggestions from fellow Aeropress people — especially for inverted method recipes, grind size advice, or beginner mistakes to avoid 👀.

Also… thinking of getting a manual grinder too in near future. Is it worth upgrading at this stage? Confused between the Timemore Chestnut C2S or C3s.

Budget isn’t really the issue since this hobby already has me willingly spending money lol

Also open to bean recommendations available in India!

Been on Inspiral 10mg SR for the last 4 days and honestly, I’m starting to feel hopeful for the first time in a while.

I finally started working on stuff that I had kept on hold for almost 2 months — both office work and personal things that were just sitting there untouched for ages. That alone makes me feel like the meds are actually doing something.

The biggest difference is that my mind feels way less noisy. Earlier it felt like there were 20 tabs open in my head all the time. Now I can kind of “hear myself think” properly. I used to constantly worry about tasks, overthink them, procrastinate, then feel guilty for not starting. Now the worry factor feels reduced and I actually feel more confident that I can complete things.

Before this, the combination of random thoughts + distractions would completely stop me from even starting work. The meds aren’t magically making me productive, but they’re definitely helping me get started — especially if I plan my day properly.

One thing I’m still figuring out is that sometimes it feels like the meds wear off a bit fast. But I don’t want to jump to conclusions yet since it’s only been 4 days. I’ll probably observe for another couple of weeks before discussing it with my psychiatrist.
