The AeroPress is a one of a kind coffee maker that is famous for brewing great espresso and great coffee. It's brew method is like a cross between espresso and a french press, but with a filter more reminiscent to a pour-over brewer. The outcome is a brew that constantly draws comparisons to espresso machines at a fraction of the price. Not only does it give you a superior cup of coffee, but it is also travel friendly. With its durable build, you can throw it in your bag and go! In fact, it is so travel friendly, that several of it's owners have used it on an airplane! Espresso at 30,000 feet? Yes, please and thank you!
