Product Description
Aerobie® AeroPress™ Coffee & Espresso Maker
How can you make espresso coffee cheaply? How can you make espresso coffee on the move without a big machine? I didn't think this was possible, and when I first saw the AeroPress, I was as sceptical as you are reading this now. You will have to trust me though, it really does work. It really does give you espresso that is very very drinkable. It's quick, it's clean, it's cheap and it tastes good. The AeroPress is an espresso miracle!

Small, but great coffee made so so easy
Posted by John Baker on 12th Dec 2009
I bought one of these things months ago, when I started working in an office with no easy access to a sink. We had a water supply and a kettle but anything more than that meant going down two floors. Far too much effort.
So along came the Aeropress. It's a little big at the bottom so make sure your cup is big enough for it to fit in comfortably. With that minor proviso it's as easy as anything to make good coffee.
I took ground coffee to work every week and over the course of the week would make anything up to 10 large coffees. Everything about the Aeropress makes it easy - you can use a clean filter paper every time or (as I did) use a clean one every day. I'm sure some purists would quibble over making two cups from the same paper but when they are within a few hours and it's the same coffee I couldn't taste any difference.
It's truly great to be able to make quality coffee at my desk without needing a fancy machine - the machine not only causes trouble with corporate Elf n Safety management but is also the kind of thing I'd always worry someone would swipe overnight.

You need the right cup for this
Posted by Steve on 29th Sep 2009
Doesn't fit our standard mugs/cups that we use every day for filter / cafetiere coffee, due to the size of the filter paper holder. If you use the wrong size/shape cup it can be quite unstable.
It is nice to get a coffee without sludge though!

How to make fantastic coffee with a 5 year old's chemistry set...
Posted by Jem on 24th Sep 2009
...or what looks like one!! I have to admit, I was a little sceptical on unpacking, but now we love this thing. We've had disastrous experiences with espresso machines that are unreliable (not from Steve I hasten to add), so we'd basically given up.
The beauty of the AeroPress is it's simplicity and speed. Short learning curve and I'm making myself a fantastic single cup in a couple of minutes, which is what I need when I'm in a hurry in the morning. No waiting for a machine to heat up, no special 'tamping' skills required, seconds to clean up and, most importantly, it seems to produce a wonderfully clean cup and allow me to enjoy the subtle flavours of my latest bean 'experiment' - I'm trying different roasted beans from Steve at the moment and suddenly, without the hassle of an overcomplicated machine, but with my burr grinder and fresh beans...I have time to savour my cup of coffee!!
Wow...what a 'gush' of a review, but seriously - your Christmas presents are solved! At this price it is very, very hard to beat for the quality result it produces. Buy a bag of beans with it, wrap, and give to a coffee loving friend!
Negatives - only one really, and very minor...making two cups is a little fiddly to judge if you're not using transparent cups / mugs. It requires a bit of judgement when pressing the 'plunger', but I've no doubt I'll have that 'down to a tee' in a few weeks...

First choice brewer
Posted by Alex on 17th Aug 2009
My wife got me the aeropress for our aniversary and wanted to give it a bit of time to cool off before I gushed about how much I loved it. I still love it.
Its simple, quick, and clean. No waiting around for my espresso machine to warm up or noise pump. Kettle on coffee ground and then I have my first for the day.

It's the future, I've tasted it
Posted by JJ on 13th Aug 2009
I'm relatively new to gourmet coffee but recently I've been hankering for a more balanced flavour than the cafetiere I started with. The AeroPress delivers that for me, and then some. It's allowed me to make a more clean and detailed-tasting Americano than I could have ever dreamed of for under £30.
The first couple of times made me feel like an a laboratory junior, but I quickly got the hang of it. Still, the routine remains more science than sentiment which might put off romantics / luddites. I love it though - function over form all the way.
As said by those below, clean-up is a cinch, especially disposing of the grounds. You just point it at a bin and eject the 'puck'.
Goodbye cafetiere.

The best sub £150 machine? I think so.
Posted by Unknown on 8th Jun 2009
After a few years of trying to find a decent, not-too-expensive coffee making machine, I bought one of these excellent things after reading some online reviews - nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Boy, did I gain!
I use it mainly at work and it's dead easy and produces better results than any sub £150 machine I've used.
Tip: if you find you have to press too hard, you need to use a coarser grind. The ideal grind will enable you to press the water through in about 15-20 secs using only light pressure. I usually put my hand on top, line up my forearm vertically above it (bending 90 degrees at the elbow) and then let gravity do the work using the weight of my arm.
There's a little routine to get used to, but the clean-up is a doddle. Very pleasing to a lazy person like me.
Simply fantastic! What are you waiting for? Go buy one - NOW!

Perfect for self catering breaks and more!
Posted by Damon on 6th Apr 2009
I bought an Aeropress to take to the Lake District last month. I also took my grinder and a bag of beans. The result was coffee that was both smooth, rich and clean. Very impressive indeed and highly recommended. I also find it useful for making the occasional americano at home when I can't wait for my gaggia to warm up!

Great Camping and Cupping tool
Posted by Espressomattic on 2nd Mar 2009
Three years of use now and I love the Aerobie. I have used it in a variety of situations, mainly camping. I have found it to be robust and reliable. If I have a particulary fine coffee then i won't use the espresso machine. The Aerobie is great for squeezing out the subtlties in a coffee and I believe is a good showcase. It has also been taken to work and survived despite many comments on it being an 'enlarging tool'....not that I would know!

My beans best friend.
Posted by Oliver Goodrum on 27th Feb 2009
When I first became interested in speciality coffee, I thought I would end up spending a whole heap of money on a Gaggia (or similar) espresso machine to get the best out of my beans. After exhaustive online research, this little thing made me curious. For the price I thought this was worth a try, before spending big on something I might not like.
Aerobie made great frisbees, what could they do for my coffee? Great things is the short answer. With Steves (Has Bean) beans I can honestly say I've never had a bad coffee (at home).
This incredible piece of kit only really serves one, but if you want the best out of your little beans, buy one. It's less than twenty quid!
My dreams of gaggia monsters have been put on hold. I still don't really know what "espresso" is like, but I just love what I'm getting from the Aeropress. I can easily taste every little nuance that each coffee yields, making my discovery of the worlds finest coffee a real pleasure. The frisbee is dead long live the Aeropress.

Quick, easy, simple - great to taste
Posted by Lawrence Brown on 27th Feb 2009
A close friend of mine introduced me to the Aeropress - I have passed it on to my father and my sister and we are all using it in the family. My Dad can put his in his briefcase after the morning coffee and use it at work. I take mine to hotels etc. A great device that makes a clean, simple coffee and will allow you to play with the process too.
Here is a tip - grind coarser and let the coffee drip through naturally for a longer, lighter tasting drink. Don't forget to wet your papers under the tap - remove any chemical taste!
