Almost every morning, for the past 11 years or so, I’ve made an AeroPress coffee. It’s perhaps the best return on investment I’ve had for any product in my life. The AeroPress is a little plunger coffee maker made with food-safe plastic material that’s incredibly easy to use and even easier to clean. Oh, and unlike electronic coffee makers, it doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars. It’s just $28 for Amazon Prime Day sale, the lowest price since the redesign and the new $40 price hike.
Why I use AeroPress every day
In the morning, I like a fuss-free coffee making experience, and that's what AeroPress gives me. The coffee is ready in two minutes. I prepare the AeroPress by locking in the filter paper in the filter basket, then I add the ground coffee, then some water, and I wait for two minutes. I plunge the plunger, and out comes filtered coffee that’s brewed with the pressure of my bare hands. Because it’s filtered by paper, it has a clean finish like a pour over, and because it was pressed using some pressure, it’s also strong like an espresso. And because the coffee was submerged in water for two minutes, it’s also full-bodied like a French press.
And the AeroPress basically cleans itself. When I unscrew the filter basket, I’m met with a coffee puck that’s easy to throw in the bin. I just clean the plunger part, and cleanup is over.
The AeroPress is compact and easy to travel with, too. The newer model that’s made with Tritan instead of food-safe plastic is also on sale for $40 down from the $50. I have the new one, as well as the old one, and I still use my old model regularly at my work studio.
