AeroPress Coffee Maker

It sure is no miraculous fact that coffee houses like Starbucks earn so much from the hype of the coffee craze- their usually flavourful cups of coffee sure do stir up the drinkers, and can go and get you going for most of the day (well, at least sort of).

Nowadays, most people would like to have the luxury of having the commodities sold in markets and other bustling places enjoyed at their own homes. This is where the AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker comes in. Aside from offering users the usual promises of tasty and energizing cups of coffee, the coffee maker also features the unique coffee making process through pressing. Yep, you got that right- PRESSING. With all this hype about the new pressing method, is this coffee brewer worth your hard-earned money? Read on to find out.

Straight out of the box, the AeroPress Coffee Maker feels light, clocking in at around 2 lbs. That should be enough to qualify the AeroPress brewer as a lightweight machine.

The AeroPress Coffee maker brews cups of coffee in any way you want, be it American style or Espresso style for use in lattes, cappuccinos and other espresso based drinks. The AeroPress does your favourite brews from a cup to about four per pressing. The combination of ideal water temperatures and faster brewing techniques yields coffee blends with rich flavour with lower acid content and less bitter tastes, in comparison to other brewing processes that use water with temperatures near the boiling point and long coffee ground exposures.

Its total-immersion system permits extraction at a moderate temperature and a short brew time. Water and grounds are mixed together for 10 seconds, then gentle air pressure pushes the mix through a micro-filter in just 20 seconds, which avoids the bitterness of long processes such as drip brewing. The air pressure also gently squeezes the last goodness from the grounds, further enriching the flavor. The total brewing time of only 30 seconds results in an exceptionally smooth brew.
