AeroPress Coffee

By:  Eudora Lake

The Aeropress coffee and espresso maker is a new innovation in coffee brewing. However, this single-serve coffeemaker is definitely not expensive or complicated. Some people have compared it to using a making French Press, but the process really is different. The brew time is extremely short. It only takes a short 30 seconds to brew a perfect cup of Java. The time to press the hot beverage through the filter will take you 20 seconds. With this easy brewing process you will get an excellent degree of extraction due to the higher pressure generated during the brewing stage.

This coffeemaker is a simple piece of equipment, but it produces excellent results. Even better is the low cost to buy your Aeropress. One of the reported benefits of making coffee with this machine is generally you'll find the caffeine content may be far lower compared to drip brewed which is good news for coffee lovers who have physical issues with the acid content. In addition, this brewing process tends to produce a very rich flavored drink.

You just pop the grounds into the trash when you're done brewing making your cup. All the parts are plastic and very easy to rinse and clean. Since this coffeemaker's design is relatively simple you aren't likely to encounter the problems associated with more complicated machines.

When you compare the cost of the Aeropress to other single-serve machines you'll find that it produces great coffee without having to pay hundreds of dollars for a complex machine that requires expensive specialized pods or cups.
