Ah, I use and Aeropress too. Since I've been roasting, I've become a bit more particular, but my wife persists in only liking dark roasts from two brands...Starbucks Verona or Trader Joe's French roasts. Neither one I can drink black. So I have to make two different cups each time I make us coffee, and it's just easier to brew with a single cup brewer like an Aeropress. That it is almost impossible to screw up the brew with one is an added bonus. Oh man, if you do this post pictures!What I WOULD do is add a simple SCR/voltage regulator with a pot to smoothly regulate the voltage to the main coil. I was thinking of splicing in a frying pan probe thermostat but the SCR is the way to go.
