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 (more…)

This product solves all the problems I have with a French Press.
French presses are recommended for full extraction without paper filtration. But I find that once the coffee steeps it’s not as hot as I like it. Cleaning a french press leaves grounds all over the sink.
The Aeropress offers full extraction and makes delicious hot coffee. You clean it by shooting the puck of grounds right into the trash. You can also throw it in the suitcase for travel. The paper filter is very thin and doesn’t interfere with the flavor.
I find it best for making 1-2 cups. Five stars for coffee taste, convenience, durability, and cleanup.

Coffee maker is exactly what I expected. It has taken some experimenting to get the right combination of coffee versus H2O for my taste but after a week or so I think I mastered it. It is best for those mornings that I make coffee for just myself. It is not as convenient for multiple people.

So Freakin’ Cool
This makes one of the best espressos I’ve ever had. I use it all the time to make americanos. It’s very easy to use, and easier to clean.

a GREAT little traveler
I purchased this coffee maker a few days ago. I have only made a pound’s worth of cups from this press, but I’m IMpressed with the results!

This inexpensive coffee maker is great. I first heard about it when it was being touted by a local jazz DJ - [...]. For under $[...], I had to try it. The coffee is easy to make - effortless, I’d say. It’s easy to clean - again, effortless. It makes one or two cups at a time, with consistent taste. Nothing to plug in and nothing to go wrong. I’ve put my $300.00 espresso maker away and use my AeroPress, even for guests, since it’s so fast. The instructions are short and to the point. What more is there to say? If you want clean, smooth coffee, one or two cups at a time, you can’t go wrong with this little device.

performs as designed
It’s makes coffee like it should, but I can’t seem to make it taste very good. I assume that I just don’t know how to use it the best way yet.

I’m new with it but I like it
The coffee tastes distinctly different than my drip coffee maker. Less acidic. I prefer it. I make Americanos.

Just right for 1 person
This is a great product for people who want to use a french press, but just can’t make good coffee.

Worth the money over and over again
I read enough positive reviews about this product and after spending hours of time researching other espresso makers costing between $150 to $500, none of which had 100% reviews,…

The reviews are right!
I basically stumbled upon this nifty little coffee maker. Still didn’t believe it could really make great coffee.

Incredible coffee…. finally!
I’ve been suffering for years trying to get a good quality cup of coffee when at home. I keep lists of places that have good coffee at each location I go, but at home it’s always…

As advertised
Works great, makes great coffee. I had some cheap coffee that tastes horrible through a drip coffee maker, I tried it through the aeropress and it was great.

AeroPress gamble paid off!
I’ve never used or had coffee made in a French press, so I took a chance on this very inexpensive coffee ‘maker’ and must say it is well worth the price and more!
