Problem with Aeropressing for 2

Yesterday, my significant half got interested in my coffee and asked for a cup. The first inconvenience that surfaced was that the Hario could only grind for two cups (one serving size for me) at a go. That means I have to grind twice.

After grinding, I decided to do a four-cup Aeropress-ing to avoid double effort in pressing but it ended in disaster. It was impossible to push the plunger pass the midway point and when I retracted the plunger, the release in pressure caused the coffee to literally explode, sending coffee goo flying. Worse but expected, the coffee we ended up with was bad.

I distinctly remembered that I had left my Hario's nut at four "clicks" from the tightest configuration so today I released the nut to 6 "clicks" away but that was still too fine. Same thing happened.

I give up.

I think I'd just have to press separately. The advantage is that the first batch of ground would be fresher since it wouldn't have to wait for the second batch.
