AeroPress

A compact brewer that steeps coffee briefly then pushes it through a paper filter using manual air pressure.

The AeroPress is a compact, manual brewer that steeps coffee grounds in hot water for a short time, then uses a plunger to push the brew through a paper filter with gentle air pressure. It's fast, portable, and forgiving, and can produce anything from an espresso-like concentrate to a lighter, filter-style cup depending on the recipe used.
