The Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker is an innovative alternative to the traditional drip coffee maker, espresso machine and French press. The Aeropress features two copolyester cylinders, one fitted with a rubber plunger, to create an airtight brewing environment. The uncompromising seal lets the press build rapid air pressure, when the plunger is depressed, to brew flavorful, smooth and low-acid coffee. Unlike a French press, the Aeropress uses disposable micro-filters to strain out stray c
Hi everyone, my name is Nick and I work for a company called Whole Latte Love. I saw this post and was intrigued by it. I really liked the idea of cold brewing with the Aeropress so I decided to try it out. Being relatively impatient, I really hoped that it would work, so I'd have a lazier way to...

I'm a fan. Still in the process of tweaking to my taste but I love that it is small and easy to travel with or bring to work. Not to mention, it's very easy to clean. It's like a french press with much less hassle and sediment free. Although I don't mind the thickness and sediment from french...

Using the AeroPress for a few days now, I am really starting to like it. I just brought it to work and used it. Pretty awesome. I will say though, I've been adding a bit of hot water after pressing but I think its much better just the way it is. Best results have been using 2 scoops fine grind, hot water up to the '4' on the press, mixing, waiting about a minute to brew longer...then pressing. Again, not adding hot water makes it taste much better. I prefer quality over quantity anyways...

I recently ordered the AeroPress. It should be arriving today and I am very excited because I've read such great feedback. My question or perhaps statement is, this device makes a concentrated coffee in which you add water to make it like a regular cup of coffee or something similar to an Americano, right? I keep reading how this makes espresso but don't quite understand where people are getting that from, even if its printed on the box. So is this just a hybrid, or can you actually call it espresso? My other observation would be that it does not seem to have the capacity to make a full cup of coffee...hence adding water? Without even using this yet, I guess I'll say that this device does not make espresso. Thoughts anyone?

Sanfam ♦ Following on Anis' post, you may also want to try an "Inverted Brew" technique. While you won't be able to easily make a proper espresso using the Aeropress as the instructions suggest, an inverted brew lets the oils and gasses (which rise up) flow out through the filter rather than become stuck up with the grounds. Do it with care and it won't risk any mess, either.
Since my co-workers are so much more adept at testing espresso machines, I took the opportunity to try brewing a cup of Americano coffee using the AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker. I have been intrigued with press-brewing coffee for several years now after first watching my friend Tracy...

Anis Kadri I own an aeropress myself and I find it makes a perfect cup of coffee (no acidity, no bitterness) if you follow the instructions of course. They are pretty simple: stir for 10 seconds and push down for another 20sec. Use about 18 grams of ground coffee (medium). Even though they advertise it as an espresso making device, I wouldn't call it espresso.
