So I'm mainly an aeropress user, I'm trying to get my cup sweeter and cleaner, it always seems to have a woody/bitter taste which i never get when I get coffee from a shop (proper shop obviously not Starbucks etc)
The SGP goes from 1 (or zero?) to 60, so that's a very coarse grind. James Hoffman has just done a short series of Aeropress videos on his Youtube channel that are probably worth a look.
OK, try stopping when you see the dry bed, before any hiss. I also remove the plunger for a few moment before re-inserting & plunging, letting the first output drain under gravity.
If this makes no improvement then, sure, try going a little coarser as long as it doesn't adversely affect taste.
I found an slower plunge helped to reduce sediment with certain beans, so that might be worth a try. Just the weight of both my hands on top seems to be about right, maybe a bit more if I get bored.
