How do you prepare your Zapatista Coffee (hexbear.net)

Some crossover with /c/neurodivergent here. Got diagnosed with ADHD this year and have been on Concerta for a month or so now. I think it's helping overall. However, I used to drink about 20oz of coffee a day, and now that I'm on stimulants, I'm cutting back some (the full intake would likely make me way too jittery - I accidentally drank a bit much one day and it was.... wired). At the most I'm making 2 aeropresses in the morning.

I got myself a nice-ish entry hand grinder -- the goal here is to enjoy the cups that I have more. I was wondering if any of y'all had good setups for the Zapatista blend. A lot of the coffee snob stuff online is for lighter roasts, and I know that's probably not our commie coffee. I started making this one today and it seems like a nice starting point, but for those who know more how might you tweak this? Do you have your own setups you enjoy? I'm not gonna invest any more into gear ATM (if I'm not laid off though, I'm gonna get a moccamaster and a nicer electric grinder for when I have company), but any aeropress suggestions?

Also, general coffee thread. I can say I'm already making better coffee than my AIO batch brew setup, but that's no surprise.

I'd do 1 filter no rinse, medium-fine grind (like table or kosher salt), 11g to 200ml water. Pour 50ml water off boiling, wait 30 seconds, stir, then add the rest and add the plunger. Wait at least 2 minutes to brew (up to around 7, really doesn't matter), plunge, enjoy! Tweak time and ratio for your liking. That's my standard aero recipe!
