The AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker is a total immersion brewing system designed to uniformly extract the ultimate full-flavored cup of coffee and espresso. Other coffee makers drip hot water on bed of grounds, over extracting at the center and under extracting at the edge. AeroPress takes only one minute to brew a delicious cup of espresso or coffee, from start to finish. With simple and gentle air pressure, water is pushed through the grit-free micro-filter. The result yields rich full flavor with low acidity and without bitterness. AeroPress is the result of several years of applied research by inventor/engineer Alan Adler. He conducted numerous brewing experiments, measuring the brew with laboratory instruments. The experiments demonstrated that proper temperature, total immersion and rapid filtering were key to flavor excellence. He then designed and tested dozens of brewers before settling on the AeroPress design. The design was further validated by coffee lovers who tested prototypes in their homes. System includes: AeroPress, funnel for grounds, scoop, stirrer, one years supply of micro-filters. Made in USA
