However, I travel a lot and buy coffee from wherever I am. I used to just use a regular coffee machine, make a pot, and it was fine. A perfectly brewed, tasty, not bitter, not burnt tasting, fast & oh so very easy cup of Coffee. Keurig has the k-cup which you can fill w/ your own coffee, but it never quite worked right for me. Fair pricing and with Amazon's free shipping over 25, can't be beat. I either overfilled (a mess) or under-filled (weak) but never could find the perfect fill.This AeroPress is my miracle answer. Easy to use.
Cost effective. So all these pounds of coffee from : Jamaica, Hawaii, Switzerland, etc. Perfect cup of coffee cannot be beat. Filters are re-usable, and you use your own mug. were just waiting. Have already made 3 cups, absolutely delicious coffee each timeI own a Keurig, which I love, for the convenience, the variety of choices (coffee, decaf, flavored, cocoa, tea, just hot water). Except I was always having to throw out some from each pot.
I needed something to just brew one cup at a time without a lot of fuss. Oh I will still use my Keurig multiple times per day, love my prefilled kcup varieties, in fact, I will be using it even more since the hot water from my Keurig is the perfect temperature for my new Aeropress and it is always hot, ready and available.The AeroPress has such an easy clean up (seconds to push out the grinds, and rinse off), is so very fast (maybe 30 seconds to a finished cup when you have hot water available) and no fuss. PERFECTION.I recommend this HIGHLY. I just received this today. When that finally died, I solely used my Keurig. Easy set up.
The photo suggests that just your four fingers, no you need the heal of your hand to push it down. I am giving it as gifts for Christmas this year. This AeroPress is so simple and easy to use I wish I would have thought of it. The best part besides the taste of the coffee is how easy it is to clean. The only thing that is somewhat awkward and prevents a 5 star is the difficulty in pressing down of the plunger.
The AeroPress is wonderful for a single cup of perfectly brewed coffee. I still keep a regular coffee maker for when friends are over but my daily intake comes from AeroPress. I enjoy coffee, and I am the only one in my household who does so. Its quick, easy, results in a superior cup and relatively no clean up.
But i've been able to figure it out quite easily, too. Enjoy. It works best with an espresso-ground bean. It really makes espresso, which is done as real espresso is- with pressure. I prefer the dark roasts myself.Eventually you will need to buy more filters too.
It is great. My fiance is a barista himself, and he even approves of the taste. It only makes 4 shots of espresso at a time (4 cups of coffee if you add water), but that's fine by me. It's also easy to clean but isn't supposed to go in the dishwasher. Frankly I was surprised how true the reviews were.
To make american coffee, you basically water it down, I prefer to add hot milk to make a latte. That means any flavor, just fairly finely ground.
We are very very happy with the AeroPress, it is very simple to use and it makes a great cup of coffee out of the crappiest coffee. I recommend this item to everyone and I am ready to buy one for work.
