Summary: Strange
Comment: Unlike regular coffee makers that sit on the counter in a lump, the AeroPress has a lot of plastic pieces you have to store and find when making your next cup. You also have to find a mug that fits under the press, (demitasse or espresso cups do not) so it's not quite as easy as its description would lead you to believe. Follow the instructions and you will use 4 to 5 times as much coffee per cup as regular coffee makers. That said, the coffee tastes good. Pour one of the demitasse portions into a cup of frothed milk and you'll be caffeinated for the entire day. AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker

Summary: This rocks!
Comment: Great coffee. Simple & easy to use and clean up. The best of the french press and the drip all in one.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Novel and handy item.
Comment: I bought this item specifically for traveling since I always find myself looking for a good cup of coffee in small towns. (I know that is hard to believe but most do not know how to brew a cup of coffee or serve old coffee that has been sitting for hours.) Good coffee beans are available though. The press is well made although small and limited to one cup of coffee at a time. I have tried it and it does indeed make a fine cup of coffee.

Summary: Brilliant design, great results
Comment: Over decades of coffee brewing, I've tried electric & stovetop espresso makers, the Chemex, the Melitta drip filter & the French press pot. The Aeropress, made by the same folks who came up with the Aerobie throwing ring, makes the best coffee ever -- extremely low in acid, intensely high in flavor. It's even fun to clean (you eject the compressed "puck" of used coffee straight into the trash & rinse everything off). Read the directions carefully: it's simple to use but quite different from other methods (for example, the manufacturer recommends using water heated only to 175F). My only problem is figuring out which one of my co-workers has swiped it on a given day.

The AEROPRESS is an entirely new way to make coffee. Water and grounds are mixed together for ten seconds. Then gentle air pressure pushes the mix through a micro-filter in 20 seconds. The total brewing time of only 30 seconds results in exceptionally smooth flavor. Tasters ranging from professional cuppers and author Kenneth Davids, to coffee aficionados all praise the smooth, rich flavor. Smoothest Using the ideal water temperature and gentle air pressure brewing yields rich flavor with lower acidity and without bitterness. Richest Total immersion brewing results in uniform extraction of the ultimate in full coffee flavor. Other coffee makers drip hot water on bed of grounds, over extracting at the center and under extracting at the edge. Purest Micro filtered for grit free coffee ٖ unlike other press-type coffee makers. Fastest One minute from start to enjoy. The actual press time takes only 20 seconds. Makes 1 to 4 cups (1 or 2 mugs) of coffee or espresso Made in U.S.A. Replacement AeroPress filters available Worldwide patents pending
