The Aeropress is a plastic tool which you can easily pop into your luggage or briefcase and take it with you everywhere you go. That means French press style (quality) coffee even if you’re on the road.
Depending on your preferences, you’ll either love or hate this design though. It’s made to brew coffee quickly which can counter the bitterness in some brews. However, if bitterness is what you like in your coffee, this will probably not work for you.
It is more likely to keep grind out of your cup though, thanks to the types of filters used. However, this can also rob you of some oils that often carry the great flavor.
The Aeropress works in a unique way that can take some time to get used to. For some, it’s easier to use a regular French press. However, this one is much easier to clean afterward. It’s also super quick as the high pressure helps extract flavor faster.
