The AeroPress combines both immersion (like a French press) and filtration (like a pour over, as it uses paper filters). Invented by engineer and physicist Alan Adler for a faster brew, the process involves wetting a paper filter, assembling the device, adding coffee and water, and then plunging. The result is concentrated coffee that's perfect for dilution.

Grind Tips: A finer grind, approaching espresso fineness, is necessary for the AeroPress.

The AeroPress is a favorite among travelers, minimalists, and coffee enthusiasts alike. Its clever design, with built-in measurements, means you don't necessarily need a scale or special kettle, just the AeroPress itself. It's quick to learn, brewing a delicious cup in about 1 minute.
