I've been playing with three different stir methods. No favorites yet. Right now, I've starting with the coffee in the chamber, stirring as it fills to saturate, but not too much, then stirring one more time as I remove the heat source. My downfall right now, is that I only have the spirit lamp... I need to order a butane buddy... Once I have a bit more experience, I'm sure I'll have something to throw out to the community.

Do you think you get a better cup w/ a non-circular stir? That's also assuming you're not adding the coffee until everything is up north, also assuming you're adding one final stir before the draw down. Maybe it'd be best to contribute to the vac-pot thread on coffeed. I've recently gotten the Hario TCA3, and will surely say it's making me the best coffee at home I've ever made. Best thing ever.
