I invert it and add 2 scoops of ground coffee. Then i fill my cup up, pour as much as I can into the aeropress. Then i stir it and wander off, occasionally restirring as I wander about for a few minutes. Then i put on the filter and press down over 20 to 30 sec.

Works for me.

I go with the invert too. plunger in far enough to hide the rubber, 4 scoops or there abouts, fill with water to 1 and stir.
Leave to stand whist I wipe out the grinder and funnel.
Top up with water and restir.
Remove stirrer and leave to stand.
keep topping up until the water level stops dropping (over a minute or so).
Stand for a bit.
Fit filter thingy.
Press coffee into cup.
Add half a scoop of caramel syrup.
Top cup up with hot water to about 3/4.
Add milk.

Before moving onto a different brew method for every day I was using the aeropress.

Method

Heat 8-10 oz of water.

Set up aeropress in standard configuration.

Grind two aeropress scoops of beans.

Add grinds to press.

Place second filter on top of grinds and tamp down ( the bottom of a spice container works well.)

Pour about 2-3 oz of water in aeropress.

Plunge right away

Drink as espresso or add remaining water
