You're supposed to add the coffee and water, then place the plunger into the top of the cylinder to hold everything in, giving the coffee time to steep. Here's a good example of how to use an Aeropress.

So that's sort of where the confusion comes in. The aeropress comes with a stirring rod and recommends stirring before pressing. But if you stir it, more than half the liquid has drained out the filter before you can even get the plunger on.

I will try this next time.
