Also use an aeropress, I put the press over a cup and first put just enough hot water to wet the grounds. Then I wait about 30 seconds and fill it to the top. Mix it for 10-20 seconds and put the top in to hold the water inside. Leave it for about 1-2min and then press. This makes a nice strong cup with a single scoop of coffee.

Have you tried the inverted method?

I did, and it worked okay too, but it makes less coffee than I want to have in one cup :)

When it is over the cup, pull the plunger back out and add more water.

Put the plunger back let sit for a minute and plunge again.

Interesting idea. I just saw this https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-flow-control-filter..., so you can do the inverted without the inversion, could be interesting! I order one to see :)
