AeroPress Original

If you want good coffee without the extra nonsense, the AeroPress is it. It’s super lightweight, which makes it perfect for small kitchens, travel, camping, or even tossing in a bag for work. No bulky machine taking up counter space...this stores easily in a drawer or cabinet. It’s also really easy to use. No buttons, no confusing setup, no waiting around. You can make a great cup of coffee in just a few minutes, and cleanup is basically a quick rinse. Honestly, it’s hard to mess this one up. What I love most is that it’s all in one. You can make French press–style coffee, pour-over, or an espresso-like shot with the same device. One tool, lots of options. Bottom line: Lightweight, easy to use, easy to store, and consistently good coffee. If you like things simple and effective, the AeroPress is a no brainer.

Best coffee maker of all time. Making coffee is quick, easy, and perfect every time. Truly the best tasting coffee and easy to carry with you on any trip. Never get stuck with bad coffee again.

Makes an excellent americano style coffee, no bitter taste. Probably can make a decent espresso "style" shot. Not a real espresso as you won't get a true creama, but you won't get a true espresso from a K-cup either. I have an authentic espresso machine for a real espresso shot, but I don't have a convenient drip appliance for a single cup. I generally have a cappuccino daily and occasionally want a drip style cup. So I decided to try this for that. I immediately made a cup when it arrived. It is easy to do and easy to clean. The very first cup tasted great, smooth and full bodied. I then made a cup with the inverted method, and it was even better. If you want to make an espresso style shot, then the inverted method is the only way. The inverted method is better because; you can consistently get the precise amount of water, and the entire cup will be pushed through the filter with pressure. When you do the normal upright process, water will start dripping through the filter (unless you use a very coarse grind) while you are pouring the water in, making it hard to to avoid adding too much water. Also, the amount that drips through won't have pressure applied, preventing a full extraction of the beans. The inverted method is as it sounds, upside down. Put the plunger up to the "4" marker. While upside down, add the coffee, then the hot water and then secure the filter holder (make sure to wet the filter first). Then turn right-side up and press the plunger, dispensing coffee into your cup. It's that easy! An important note for brewing coffee. The ideal temperature is from 195 to 200 degrees (the instructions say 185, but that is too low). Water boils at 212 degrees. So, if you don't have a thermometer, then take the water off the flame just when little bubbles start for form (not a rolling boil), and let it sit for about 30 seconds. Bottom, quick and easy to use, quick and easy to clean, and makes an excellent brew.

I have always enjoyed coffee. My everyday coffee maker is my Keurig 2.0 Coffee maker. I have always enjoyed using my Keurig. Its fast, convenient, and easy to use. There are lot of great coffees out there for it, but from time to time I will find a coffee out there that is not available in K-cups. Prior to having my Keurig, I had a regular drip coffee maker, but after I got my Keurig, I got rid of my regular drip maker. About a year ago I purchased a French press because I found you could make cold brew coffee with them, and I started doing that because my wife likes it. After making the cold brew for a while I decided to make some regular coffee from some Folders Black silk that we had left over from a trip we took. I really enjoyed using the French press because you could make hot or cold brew coffee. The coffee always tasted good to me, but the major drawback for me was that you would get some of the fine ground coffee in your mug. That happens from time to time with my Keurig as well. That got me to wondering if there was a better way to make coffee. So, I had started researching different coffee makers. I had always wanted to try a pour over, but then I found the AeroPress. The product description said that it made smooth coffee without an acidic taste, and it had no grit. So, I was interested. So, I decided to purchase the AeroPress along with the paper filters. I followed the AeroPress's instructions. They were easy. The coffee scoop that comes with it scoops the perfect amount of coffee. The coffee that it made was awesome. The taste was smooth and there was no grit. The cool thing about the AeroPress is that you can make coffee, espresso, and cold brew. After I made a cup of coffee, I then tried to make espresso. The espresso was great. I haven't tried to make cold brew with it yet. There are only a few downsides to the AeroPress to me. 1. It only makes one cup of coffee at a time. However, it does make it really fast. I am the only one who drinks coffee in our house, so this isn't a problem for me. 2. It can be a little difficult to put the coffee into the AeroPress. I believe there is a funnel accessory you can buy for it. I would recommend you purchase one. In conclusion if you are wanting to make a better cup of coffee, I would highly recommend the AeroPress.

Bought this for when the power goes out but have been using it even with the power on. It just makes a great full-bodied cup of coffee both quickly and easily. Clean-up is a breeze, too. Extremely happy with the French press.

Mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. Usarla para preparar café es muy sencillo. A pesar de su simplicidad, permite preparar el café de diversas maneras. Mención especial al diseño general tanto de la Aeropress como de los accesorios incluidos, que entre su simplicidad, se nota que fueron muy bien pensados para cumplir su cometido casi a la perfección. Ya viene con filtros incluidos, los cuales, aunque tenía mis dudas, sí que se pueden reutilizar algunas veces sin alterar el sabor del café — y comprar adicionales es relativamente barato. Limpiarla también es muy sencillo y rápido. Y ciertamente es algo más “portátil” que otras cafeteras. Aunque se puede preparar un buen café, solo se puede avanzar hasta cierto punto, y, a pesar de lo que indica el título de esta publicación, difícilmente se lograra un café tipo “espresso” o similares que requieran de máquinas avanzadas para lograr el nivel de extracción requerido. Pero me parece un muy pequeño precio a pagar a cambio de la simplicidad que ofrece, y del buen café que de todos modos se puede lograr. Otro defecto, al menos en mi caso, es que el “tubo” exterior de la Aeropress venía con un pequeño defecto estético, que la hace parecer como si tuviera una pequeña mancha en el interior (incluso me hizo pensar que recibí una unidad usada y que no había sido lavada de manera correcta). Este defecto no afecta en nada a la extracción, y no es algo que me importe demasiado; pero a personas que quieran tener la Aeropress en un lugar visible, sí que podría importarles si recibieran una unidad con el mismo defecto. Sin duda he quedado gratamente sorprendido con este producto.

Auf unserer Reise von DE nach Österreich, Slowenien, Kroatien, Bosnien bis nach Montenegro haben wir diese Maschiene mit gehabt. Pulver war Dalmayer Classic gemahlenen Kaffee. Wir haben einen Reisebecher genommen, haben 1,5 Messlöffel Kaffee Pulver eingegeben , voll aufgefüllt, kurz gewartet, nochmal etwas Wasser nachgefüllt. Und dann einfach durch gedrückt. Den vollen Becher durch 2 geteilt ... Milch rein ... perfekter Kaffee ... besser als Maschienen Kaffee ... jeder der frischen Kaffee mag, und unterwegs ist, kauft dieses Teil und es ist jeden Penny wert

Making a good coffee. Obviously, the beans are the most important: you will never geta good coffee from bad quality beans. But you can spoil the beans if you do not brew properly. The AeroPress is not spoiling the beans, you get the most. You should be careful if you are not using AeroPress flow control filter and drip filter lid control bottom. At first try I used the standard bottom lid. It was not aligned completely with the cup and when I poured the water got some coffee on the table. So I purchased AeroPress flow control filter. With the flow control filter it is perfectly Ok. It will start dripping when you press hard the plunger. Also: you control the time it brew. When you give some extra time for brewing- you get better coffee.

I chose the clear one as I personally prefer to have a unobstructed view of the brew during the process. Quality wise, the build is robust and all the moving parts do feel solid. I have been brewing daily for around 3 weeks now and I must say, this is super fast and simple. Cleanup is barely a chore. Travelling with it is convenient. If you want a coffee brewer with versatility and easy of travel, this is it.

Great for travel. Previously we used a plunger but this makes much better coffee - no sludge at the bottom of the cup.
