My first time speciality coffee , Just received this Fraction 9 sampler , tried one of them - Whiskey Barrel Aged

Haven’t tried the other packs yet, but I’ll update in the comments once I go through all of them.

A question for those using Kaldipress/Aeropress - I used a single paper filter and the water started dripping almost immediately after pouring. Around 70–80% of the brew just leaked into the mug before I could even press.

What could be causing this? Grind size too coarse? Filter issue? Or am I just messing up the technique?

Would appreciate any tips.

TL;DR:

Kaldipress/Aeropress is dripping immediately after pouring (most coffee leaks before pressing). What’s causing this and how do I fix it?
