The AeroPress coffee maker is a new kind of coffee press that brewscoffee under ideal conditions: proper temperature, total immersion,and rapid filtering. This results in amazingly delicious coffeewith a wide range of beautiful flavors but without bitterness andwith very low acidity. Since its introduction, the AeroPress hasbecome a much beloved brewer for serious coffee lovers and coffeeprofessionals around the world.
Why AeroPress?
AeroPress coffee tastes better because the ground coffee is totallyimmersed in the hot water, resulting in fast and extensiveextraction of the flavour compounds. The AeroPress method shortensbrew time to 20-40 seconds, which avoids the unpleasant bitternesscreated by slower methods. As well, the acid level of AeroPressbrew is much less than conventional methods, due to the shorterbrew time. In fact, laboratory testing measured AeroPress coffee ashaving under one fifth of the acid generated by regular drip coffeemakers. The end result? Coffee lovers are delighted by the factthat AeroPress brew is friendlier to their stomachs.
