Know before you buy
While it uses air pressure to create a concentrated, rich shot similar to espresso, it does not reach the high pressure levels of a dedicated electric espresso machine. It is, however, an excellent tool for creating a strong, full-bodied base for lattes and Americanos.
Cleaning is very simple. Once you finish plunging, you just unscrew the filter cap and push the plunger all the way through to pop the compressed 'puck' of coffee grounds directly into the trash or compost.
The AeroPress is highly portable and durable, making it a favorite for camping, office use, and travel. Its compact, lightweight design fits easily into a bag, and it requires no electricity to operate.
A medium-fine grind is generally recommended for the best results. Because the immersion time is short, a finer grind helps extract the full flavor profile without the bitterness often found in other brewing methods.
The device comes with a supply of paper micro-filters, which are specifically designed for the AeroPress to ensure a grit-free cup. You will need to purchase these proprietary filters once your initial supply runs out.
