From the Editors

The AeroPress is an entirely new way to make coffee, American style or Espresso style for use in lattes, cappucinos and other espresso based drinks. AeroPress brews simply delicious coffee, 1-4 cups per pressing. Ideal water temperature and faster brewing yields rich flavor with lower acidity and without bitterness. Other brewing processes use near boiling water and long exposure to coffee grounds. Quickly brew a variety of coffee drinks including an Americano or an espresso-style shot for use in lattes or cappuccinos. Its total-immersion system permits extraction at a moderate temperature and a short brew time. Water and grounds are mixed together for 10 seconds, then gentle air pressure pushes the mix through a micro-filter in just 20 seconds, which avoids the bitterness of long processes such as drip brewing. The air pressure also gently squeezes the last goodness from the grounds, further enriching the flavor. The total brewing time of only 30 seconds results in an exceptionally smooth brew.

Great Simple Tasty
The aeropress makes a great cup of coffee. I use it at work (manufacturing) during my long shifts. I've found that about two scoops of not quite espresso grind coffee and an 12-16 oz of water makes a good stout Americana style coffee that I drink unadulterated. Very smooth. Then I rinse it off, dry it, and put it back into my toolbox.

The only negative is that it looks like a big syringe! My boss came through and watched me make my coffee and asked if I needed to take a drug test.

Best Single Cup
Hands down, best single cup you can make. I have almost every imaginable way to make coffee and I absolutely love this thing.

buy one!

I Had Forgotten How Delicious Coffee Could Be
There are many good reviews regarding the mechanics, chemistry etc., so I will just add a few subjective words. I have been attached to a drip machine with a permanent filter which brews directly into a very good insulated two cup mug in which the coffee stays really, really hot for a couple of hours. It has a timer so that I can set it up at night and have a freshly brewed cup ready in the AM. Lately, I have been trying different coffees to get the "coffee love" back but it has been eluding me---until today. I followed the simple instructions for the AeroPress (which somehow seem more daunting to read than to do) and got a cup of the tastiest coffee I have had in a while. There was no bitterness, little acidity, and a rich mellow flavor. I used the same coffee that was disenchanting me and it wasn't even the right grain size, but produced a good cuppajoe. It is not quite hot enough to sit around for an hour or so of delicious sips, but I will play with the temperature factor as I experiment with the brewing process. The mechanics seemed to require a bit more of my time than my electric brewer, but I believe the process, which is really simple, will become routinized.

Quickest hand operated coffee maker ever.
Even if you don't follow the instruction to the 't' you can still make very good coffee after you get the hang of it; and it save so much time compare to the funnel, and less coffee and space than a coffee maker. Cleaning is easy.

Usually "made in USA" is a good thing when it comes to plastic gadgets like these. You know the plastic won't break on the first try but then we are talking about a different league.

What I don't like about it is that it would still let some fine grinds through, and it's not fool-proof, so it won't make your cheap coffee taste like gourmet coffee and you have to trial and error with different brand of coffee, timing, and the handling of water quality and its temperature.

It's the only thing I use for coffee right now.

Awesome for those with little time and a love of coffee
This is a simple little machine that works perfect for filling my travel mug on the way to work. Microwave water to 175ish, two scoops, stir and press. I press into my travel mug which already has the rest of the heated water in it. I would suggest this for those who have an autodrip and can't seem to make a good cup with it. Also, the coffee is fantastically not bitter even when made extra strong.
