Coffee Explosion

I really enjoy my new Aeropress coffeemaker, but I was pushing the limits (exceeding, actually) of my coffeemaking abilities. I read on some forum that one could capture some of the coffee oils and thus body by inverting the first seconds of the press. But rather than a few drips which I presumed to be the penalty for an inexperienced press, I got a full, painfully hot coffee explosion. Lesson learned--I am too like Icarus.
