The Aeropress coffee maker has gained popularity as a versatile tool for coffee enthusiasts, particularly those who are often on the move. Its unique design allows for the creation of not just espresso-like coffee but also black coffee, cold brews, and infusions. The addition of a weighing scale and choice of paper or metal filters enhance the brewing experience, providing the perfect cup according to personal preference. Its inventor, Alan Adler, designed it to eliminate bitterness by manually pressing hot water through coffee grounds. While it may not be suitable for those who prefer capsule or super-automatic machines, or need to make multiple cups at once, the Aeropress is celebrated for its design, ease of use, and excellent results once the proper technique is mastered.
