About Aeropress

The AeroPress coffee maker is a new kind of coffee press that brews coffee under ideal conditions: proper temperature, total immersion, and rapid filtering. This results in amazingly delicious coffee with a wide range of beautiful flavors but without bitterness and with very low acidity. Since its introduction, the AeroPress has become a much beloved brewer for serious coffee lovers and coffee professionals around the world.




Why AeroPress?

AeroPress coffee tastes better because the ground coffee is totally immersed in the hot water, resulting in fast and extensive extraction of the flavour compounds. The AeroPress method shortens brew time to 20-40 seconds, which avoids the unpleasant bitterness created by slower methods. As well, the acid level of AeroPress brew is much less than conventional methods, due to the shorter brew time. In fact, laboratory testing measured AeroPress coffee as having under one fifth of the acid generated by regular drip coffee makers. The end result? Coffee lovers are delighted by the fact that AeroPress brew is friendlier to their stomachs.

Smoothest

Using the ideal water temperature and gentle air pressure brewing yields rich flavor with lower acidity and without bitterness.

Richest

Total immersion brewing results in uniform extraction of the ultimate in full coffee flavor. Other coffee makers drip hot water on a bed of grounds, over-extracting at the center and under-extracting at the edge.

Purest

Micro filtered for grit free coffee - unlike other press-type coffee makers.

Fastest

One minute from start to enjoy. The actual press time takes about 20 to 30 seconds.

Safest

The AeroPress is made completely from polypropylene (except the rubber seal), and contains no BPA or phthalates.




How to use Aeropress






Steps

1. Remove plunger and cap from chamber, insert filter into cap and twist cap back onto chamber.

2. Place chamber over a sturdy mug.

3. Put two scoops of medium-fine ground coffee into the chamber with the provided AeroPress® scoop (approx. 24 grams).

4. Pour hot water slowly into the chamber to the number "2" (Aeropress recommends 175ºF water but there is much debate and it seems that 195ºF water is a better temperature)

5. Stir for 10 seconds with the provided paddle.

6. Wet the rubber seal and insert into the plunger, gently pressing down and maintaining an even pressure for 20-30 seconds until the plunger reaches the coffee.

7. Enjoy sipping on your concentrated, espresso-like coffee or add some hot water to make a well-balanced, smooth cup of coffee.

8. To clean, simply rinse and reinsert the plunger. The AeroPress® is also dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
