What is an Aero-Press, you ask? Well, somewhere in the mechanical spectrum between a bike pump and the french press falls the Aero-Press. But more simply put, the Aero-Press is the single coffee lover's dream.

How does it work? It operates much like a French Press, but you push the water through the bottom of the chamber into your cup.
To get started, simply place a filter in the filter cap and screw on to the bottom of the chamber. Add your coffee and add a small amount of hot water. (An electric kettle works perfectly for heating up the water). Stir for 10 seconds. Then, place the plunger into the top of the chamber and slowly press down pushing the coffee through to your cup for approximately 20 - 30 seconds.
Viola! You are done. Clean up is easy. Simply remove the filter cap, press the coffee grounds and filter into the trash by pushing the plunger the rest of the way through. Rinse.
The Aero-Press makes espresso strength coffee. You can add hot milk for a latte, or add more hot water for American Coffee (as I do).

Where can YOU get one? Amazon carries it. I highly recommend it. Throw out your percolator, people!
