ABOUT THE AEROPRESS

The AeroPress has been one of the most revolutionary pieces of coffee brewing equipment for a long time, perfect for any coffee lover or someone just getting into brewing coffee at home or at the office!
It's versatile brewing methods mean you can create and perfect countless different coffee styles from strong espresso-like brews to clean and sweet filter brews. 
The AeroPress uses gentle air pressure which creates a smooth, rich flavour with lower acidity and without bitterness.


Other coffee makers drip hot water on to a bed of ground coffee which results in over extracting at the centre and under extracting the flavour from the edges. But the AeroPress brewing system results in uniform extraction for the ultimate in full coffee flavour. The AeroPress comes with full instructions for use; just add your coffee and water!
