AEROPRESS

This fascinating coffee brewing device was invented in 2005 by Alan Adler, the american inventor of the Aerobie Pro  and the founder of Aeropress Inc. He is an expert in aerodynamics, so it’s no wonder that the Aeropress was designed with the objective to extract coffee using air.

The Aeropress is a hybrid brewing method that combines immersion and pressure brewing: the ground coffee is infused for a short time in hot water, then the drink is filtered under pressure as if it were in a large syringe. The Aeropress has become very popular due to its versatility, to the point of creating international competitions dedicated exclusively to this coffee maker. It is also ideal for preparing your own coffee while traveling or in the open air.
