The AeroPress Original is a manual coffee press that combines steeping and gentle pressure to brew a smooth, low-acid cup in about two minutes. You add grounds and water, stir, and press the plunger through a paper micro-filter, which produces a concentrate you can drink straight, dilute into a longer coffee, or build into a latte. It is lightweight, shatterproof plastic, so it travels to the office, campsite, or hotel room, and it rinses clean in seconds. Best for one to three cup brewing, espr
