AeroPress

Why AeroPress?

Total immersion and rapid filtering yield the richest, most flavorful coffee that you have ever tasted.  Rich, smooth coffee without bitterness.  Brews American, espresso or cold brew style coffee.  Makes 1-3 cups in about a minute.  Ideal for kitchen, traveling or camping.  Cleans in seconds.

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. The maker describes the result as an espresso strength concentration of coffee, but its most frequent use is more in the filter brew strength.

The device consists of two co-polyester cylinders. One cylinder has a rubber plunger and fits inside the larger cylinder to create an airtight seal, similar to a syringe.
