Aeropress Original Coffee and Espresso Maker with Tote Bag, Barista Level Portable Coffee Maker with Chamber, Plunger, and Filters, Quick Coffee and Espresso Maker, Made in USA

White paper and the real deal Aeropress.

Being stuck, working from home it dawned on me that the one I thing missed from being in the office is real coffee which the on site coffee shop served. Obviously professional coffee machines cost a small fortune and I wasn't willing to pay that much for the quality. A friend recommended the Aeropress to me and my research started. It seemed there are a lot of people who take this very seriously and apparently an American TV programme blind-tasted the Aeropress against the best coffee machines and the Aeropress won. This convinced me to part way with less than £30 which is insignificant when compared to the coffee machines.My research put me in good stead when the package arrived from Amazon so as soon as it arrived I rinsed it out and started making my coffee. I bought Illy coffee from Amazon too and both arrived together the next day. The coffee the Aeropress produces is magnificent, smooth and strong just how I like it. If you wanted it stronger or weaker you can adjust how much coffee you use and I'm sure as time goes on I will tweak how I use it. I use the Inverted Method which you can search online for and this apparently produces a better coffee.I am now into the swing of things and by the time I'm ready to drink my coffee the parts are already rinsed out and ready for my next drink.I would highly recommend this item if you like nice coffee but don't want an expensive coffee machine, you will not be disappointed.If you found this review helpful please press the button below.

Le système demande un peu de pratique - nombreuses vidéos sur YouTube - mais le café obtenu est excellent : c'est en effet le mode de préparation le plus versatile et permettant le mieux d'extraire tous les arômes du café.Le pack est conforme à la photo et contient :- l'AeroPress- l'entonnoir qui sert d'adaptateur sur les tasses étroites- un portoir pour filtres avec 350 filtres papier- une cuillère doseuse- une spatule- une trousse qui suffit tout juste à tout ranger malgré ses 35x18 cm : même si l'ensemble est léger, on est loin du compact !!!Acheté pour éviter les cafés de station service en déplacement, je n'emmène que l'indispensable : l'AeroPress, quelques filtres et la cuillère doseuse + une tasse en verre (mini 7 cm d'ouverture) + du café moulu + thermos d'eau chaude.Pour couper court à toute polémique autour des bisphénols A et autres : l'Aeropress est fabriqué en polypropylène, un plastique qui ne nécessite pas de bisphénol ou autre agent de polymérisation dans sa composition. Pour information, le polypropylène est le matériau de choix dans la fabrication des tubes de laboratoire et est particulièrement utilisé en biologie moléculaire, ou pour transporter des échantillons à analyser en recherche de polluants. Le patin du poussoir est en silicone, et les filtres en papier sont rinçables et réutilisables de nombreuses fois - jusqu'à 80 dixit l'inventeur.18/03/2018 : Après 3 mois d'utilisation, je n'ai pas rencontré les problèmes signalés par d'autres utilisateurs de dégradation du cylindre ou du piston. Peut-être parce que je n'utilise pas d'eau au delà de 90°C (de toute façon, l'eau trop chaude brûle les arômes), et que je le rince juste à l'eau après utilisation...De plus, depuis un mois, je l'utilise avec le filtre métal ULTRA d'Altura, qui remplace très bien le papier niveau filtration et plus pratique en déplacement.25/02/2020 :Après plus de 2 ans d'utilisation, toujours aussi contente de mon Aeropress qui me sert désormais une à deux fois par jour au bureau, ou plus à la demande des collègues, et me permet de faire jusqu'à 4 cafés : il suffit de mettre plus de mouture et de rallonger après pression. Malgré cette utilisation très régulière, aucune usure notable n'est à déplorer (voir photos), pas même au niveau du poussoir en silicone. Je précise que je respecte toujours la consigne de température, puisque ma fontaine à eau chaude délivre de l'eau entre 80 et 85°C.En revanche niveau filtre, je suis revenue assez rapidement aux filtres en papier fournis, et j'utilise l'astuce de l'inventeur qui rince ses filtres après utilisation et les utilise ainsi jusqu'à 80 fois ! Je n'en ai donc pas racheté et il m'en reste plus de la moitié depuis mon achat fin 2017 !!!Par rapport à l'aspect compact, Aeropress a enfin sorti début 2020 une version de voyage tout-en-un incluant l'Aeropress dans une version redessinée, une cuillère doseuse compacte, un agitateur pliant, une boîte à filtres, le tout dans un mug avec couvercle. Elle est déjà sur ma liste de cadeaux... ;-)Si mon commentaire vous est utile, un petit clic à gauche svp : j'achète mes produits et je ne suis pas sponsorisée. ;-)

Bought this and the Staresso for the office, since the machine makes an undrinkable black tar. The Staresso got used exactly twice, whereas I use the AeroPress around 3 times a day.Nothing particularly wrong with the other device, different niche, it can make espresso, this one can't. It's just down to the ease of use and cleaning.You can make an AeroPress coffee and clean up in literally a minute, two tops, and after the first few times pretty much do it on autopilot: scoop coffee, hot water, stir, filter in the lid, close, turn over, press, open, hold it over the bin, eject the puck (with a quite satisfying kind of ker-chonk), vaguely wave it under the tap, done. Whereas the other device has fiddly little metal cups and things that you'll be trying to scoop the used grounds out of after making the coffee.So yeah, if you're wondering if it'll be ok to use at work - this is the one to get.

I've been looking at these for about 5 years as an option to drink none instant coffee at work but never bothered because despite hearing how good the coffee is I always thought they where faffy and took time. I've tried cafetiere cups but they continue to brew the coffee and are messy to clean with look watery coffee grounds to pour into the bin after.I finally bit the bullet and got one on a whim and can't believe how quick and easy it is and how fast it is to clean. I've never really read reviews about people using them in busy offices but this is ideal for it!It takes seconds to brew the coffee and condenses the grounds into a puck that you can drop straight into the bin and it good to go with a quick wipe. I wish I'd brought one years ago.

I've been looking through Amazon reviews for coffee makers and I was beginning to think that I would be having to fob out at least £100 for a decent coffee maker and probably be locked into pods of one particular brand or another. My main reason for wanting a coffee maker was the amount of time it was taking me to clean up cafetieres - what a malarkey - but at least I could still use any brand of coffee that I wanted to with this method. By sheer chance I managed to come across a mention in one of the reviews for the AeroPress coffeemaker which seemed a lot cheaper.I went on to YouTube and discovered that this particular coffeemaker, which is hugely cheaper than the price I was originally expecting to pay, had garnered a big following, almost a cult-like following, and there were lots of reviews and methodology for the AeroPress. Okay, I was hooked and I thought I'd would want to see what it was like. When it arrived, with tote bag, 350 filters and various bits and bobs I was impressed. Very professional package I thought. I'd also ordered some metal filters as various reviews of these have been pretty favourable.On to making the coffee. There are two major methods - the inverted method and the normal method and both are pretty easy to master with one viewing of a YouTube video. It's also possible to use either the metal filters or the paper filters and both produce different results in the tastes of the coffee. The paper filter seems to clean out virtually all the of the coffee leaving a very pure coffee drink. My previous cafetiere coffee always seem to leave a certain amount of mud at the bottom of the cup - not so with the AeroPress. The metal filter did leave residue but not very much and results in a stronger blend.But the main reason for the purchase was cleanup. I have to say that the AeroPress scores very highly here. It's way easier to dispose of the grounds in my normal rubbish bin and it is even possible to retrieve the paper filter to use again. Apparently, the company recommends that you do reuse the paper filter. Given that you've already got 350 of them, one reuse takes this up to 700 cups, and they're pretty cheap to reorder anyway. If you're really lazy, cleanup takes approximately 5 seconds - after pressing the coffee into the cup, screw off the end and press the grounds into the bin. Genius!All in all, I am a very happy coffee drinker now. I can use any coffee I like, I can use the frother that I purchased at the same time to make superb cappuccinos, and cleanup takes me next to no time. Not only this, I can use a variety of methods to produce exactly the coffee I want at any particular time. This has to be one of the best things I've ever bought off Amazon! And just a word of praise here, I even had it delivered a day earlier than originally scheduled.
