How do I use the numbers on the outside?

    They address this in the FAQ:

    The number markings are a recognizable part of the AeroPress design and, by including them on Steel, we're protecting our trademark. To help with fill guidance, the inside of the chamber includes a laser-etched mark at the 5 level that can be seen from above.

    I don't use the numbers at all. I do inverted, and pull the plunger until it's barely in the cylinder, and fill it from there.

    That makes just enough coffee for a standard 10oz mug.
