Don't bother with inversion to begin with, it's overly fancy and doesn't make a huge difference. Make it as it says on the box and you can't go wrong. Add some good/fresh single origin beans roasted for filter, ground for aeropress (larger than espresso), and you're on your way. Great christmas present - lucky you! Interesting, I much prefer inversion actually and don't find it to be difficult. I also don't do my ratios as done on the box.

When starting out with all this 'stuff' that's more difficult than paying someone $3 for a coffee, keeping it simple to begin with makes it less confronting, reduces potential frustrations and complications ruining the result. There's a bit of 'stuff' to learn around the process and grind. Inversion adds a few more steps (2), it's a little off the beaten track (not a lot). Crawl Walk Run. I always try keep things KISS  x x

Agreed. That was my approach to start, followed the instructions. Perhaps because I got familiar with that, trying inversion seemed pretty easy when I tried it and I've stuck since. Now I just play with grinds, temps, blooms, steeps, etc. AP is awesome.

Sweet, ebay or other? Got them at http://www.fishseddy.com/ in the city. They have a vintage section as well as a lot of cool new mugs. Eww, that Dandee Donut one is in comic sans… kills what could be a great mug for me. Yeah, I just liked the "old fashion way…" line.
