The AeroPress is a device for brewing coffee. It was invented in 2005 by Aerobie president Alan Adler.^[1] Coffee is steeped for between 10-50 seconds (depending on grind and preferred strength) and then forced through a filter by pressing the plunger through the tube. The filters used are either the AeroPress paper filters or disc shaped thin metal filters.^[2][3] The maker describes the result as an espresso strength concentration of coffee, but its most frequent use is more in the filter brew strength ^[4]

The device consists of two copolyester cylinders.^[5] One cylinder has a rubber plunger and fits inside the larger cylinder to create an airtight seal, similar to a syringe.
