AeroPress

AeroPress

Upright method; coffee immediately begins dripping before the extraction


Lightweight, portable, and durable, this innovation from Aerobie, Inc. (same company that invented Frisbee) is loved by people who make coffee at home or on the go. It offers great coffee quickly. Expect a brew of full body, very bright, with lofted fragrance — and plenty more.

AeroPress is one of two brewing devices to have its own world championships.

This is the most forgiving brewer. You can brew using a wide range of grinds and dosage and still make excellent coffee. Flip it upside down, and it excels in a different way — more body. This device produces the best of both worlds in brewing, big body in a clean cup with bright notes.

The flavors are dramatic, price is reasonably low ($30), process is fast and the body and fragrance is not to be missed.

If you had to choose one brewer, choose AeroPress.
