AeroPress Coffee & Espresso Maker
Speaking of fuel, the AeroPress coffee and espresso maker makes real espresso, crema and all, from a device that weighs less than the average hiking boot. It brews delicious American-style coffee or espresso-style caffeine. All you need are ground beans and hot water. Try it for camping or hut trips, and it may just become your favourite method for home brewing too. Coffee snob approved.
- Rapid, total immersion brewing process makes full-flavoured coffee without bitterness.
- Makes 1 to 3 cups per pressing in about a minute.
- Micro-filter means no grit in your cup (unlike a French press).
- Easy cleanup.
- BPA and phthalate free.
