A light brewer that steeps coffee, then uses air pressure to push it through a paper micro-filter. Quick to brew and quick to clean.
Coffee and water steep together in the chamber, then you press the plunger and air pressure pushes the brew through a paper micro-filter. This is full immersion, where all the coffee sits in all the water, so it extracts well at a moderate temperature in a short time. AeroPress say you can brew and clean up in under two minutes.
It makes about 300 ml, one or two cups of filter-style coffee, or up to three espresso-style shots, which are strong concentrates you can top up with hot water or milk. It also works for cold brew. It’s polypropylene, BPA free and about 220 g, so it travels well. Paper micro-filters, a stirrer and a scoop come with it.
Tip: rinse the paper filter with hot water before brewing to wash out any papery taste. Grind a little finer than for pour-over, because the brew is short.
