The AeroPress is a portable, lightweight coffee brewing device that is perfect to take camping, or pack in your luggage for a flight. It is a versatile brewer that makes filter style coffee.
Ah, AeroPress: the humble plastic brewer, that has - despite its relatively recent entry to the coffee brewing scene - already spawned a worldwide brewing competition. Versatile, indestructible, portable and iconic, fortunately the AeroPress also brews really tasty coffee!
The AeroPress was designed by Alan Adler, an American inventor, engineer and ex-lecturer at Stanford University. The AeroPress launched in 2005, a follow up success to his 1980s invention, the world-famous Aerobie Pro flying disc. Adler’s motivation in designing the AeroPress was to create a method of making a delicious coffee for a single serve. He achieved that, and more!

The AeroPress has a lot of unique benefits. We think that its portable, lightweight design, along with its versatility in brew style are what makes AeroPress coffee so good.

The AeroPress is extremely durable and will last for an extremely long time if you look after it well. We also sell individual replacement parts, so if you happen to lose one piece, you don’t have to buy a whole new brewer.
The acidity in the cup will depend on a lot of different factors. The coffee you use and how it processed and roasted will have a large affect on the acidity, along with your brew recipe. To reduce the acidity, you can try to brew for longer, use a finer grind, use a darker roast or a lower temperature.
It’s hard to say how much caffeine is in any given style of coffee. The amount of caffeine will largely depend on what type of coffee you’re using (species and varietal), along with growing conditions, roast profile and your brew ratio, and of course, your serving size.
What coffee you use to brew AeroPress is largely dependent on your preferences, and how you intend to serve your Aeropress. We suggest using a filter roast coffee and more brew water for a lighter bodied brew, or espresso roast and less water for a bigger-bodied brew or if you want to add milk to your AeroPress.
If your resulting brew is bitter, it might be over extracted. Try coarsening up your grind.
