This thing is pretty cool. I'm new to coffee but had heard about this device 3 yrs ago. When I found I loved lattes, I decided to make my own as best as possible without buying an expensive espresso machine. This is the perfect device to nearly mimic espressos without the expensive machine. No it won't heat the milk for you or put the coffee grinds under intense steam pressure but it will brew up a pretty mean cup. With quality beans and a grinder and a milk frother you have what it takes to make a $5 latte every day for a fraction of the cost. It won't take you long to pay for this device at that savings rate.
This is a kit and comes with the plunger press, the paper filters, filter holders, stirring blade, scoop for the beans or grinds and a funnel to help with pouring ground up beans into the press without spillage. Youtube has lots of videos on how to use this thing. What's interesting is that parameters for how to make a cup of coffee in this device vary all over the spectrum. So ultimately it's a subjective decision on what tastes good to you.
My recipe so far...
For me start with placing a paper filter into the filter cap and place that into a narrow mug that has a diameter that narrows, stopping the descent of the cap half way down inside the mug. I then pour very hot water over the filter to rinse the paper taste away. The mug prevents scalding my fingers if I were to hold it. It also catches the poured-through water, which I dump after removing the filter cap. I then identify my mug i will press the coffee into and add any sugar/sweetner desired at this time into the empty mug.
I then grind 1 scoop of some quality beans to a fairly fine grind. I then pour them into the press turned upside down (plunger extending from the bottom of the tube with filter end on top) using the funnel. I add just enough hot water from my hot water pump (it's set to 208F but is usually cooler by the time it hits the press) to cover the grounds. I then insert the stirring blade and stir gently to expose water to all grounds evenly for 10 sec. Then I add water to near the top of the plunger tube which ends up being about 6-8oz total. I gently stir a couple of times to get the floating grounds near the top to mix into the added water better. Then remove it and twist on the filter cap. After a total of 60 sec. from time I add more water I carefully invert the press (plunger and tube assembly) over my mug.
Then start gently pressing on the plunger so that it slowly slowly starts depressing into the tube. Total time to press the plunger is about 30 sec. There should be a small air cavity between the filter cap lid and the plunger rubber head so as you near the bottom of pressing on the plunger, you will hear a hissing as air passes through the paper filter cap at the very end of the press. LIft off, shake drips off over mug, then twist off the filter cap. The paper filter is likely still stuck to the coffee grinds. Place the lid aside for rinsing and press the plunger the rest of the way through the tube OVER the trash can. Grounds will fall off with the paper filter. Rinse the plunger assembly under hot tap water. Same for the filter lid. You now have 6-8 oz of strong coffee.
At this point you can add more water to dilute to your taste or continue on with the milk prep. I put 1/2c milk or alternate milk (soy is my fave) into a tall 2 c measuring cup. Heat for 30 sec in 1200w microwave. If you have a frother, insert it into the 2c glass and froth to desired consistency. Pour this into the top of your coffee mug. I assume your mug holds at least 16oz or you may run over with the milk and foam.
Yumm!
This device is very simple to use, cleanup is rinse-off easy, and the whole kit is very portable. It's probably a little slow if you have a half-dozen friends wanting coffee but for one or two, this thing is super easy to use. It delivers a terrific mug of coffee.

Best cup of coffee at home
I worked at a coffee shop for over five years and was a finalist in a number of regional barista competitions from California to Missouri. So I have a thing for good coffee, which starts with the roast and the purity and temperature of the water. But when it comes to extraction, very few, if any, brewing devices put so much control into the hands of the brewer. With this brewer, I have made some of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. You can achieve the quality of brewed coffee as with a classic pour-over but in a much more convenient and durable system. It's faster than a crappy Mr. Coffee, easier and more forgiving than a pour over like the Hario V60 and more durable than anything else I've ever used, besides of course a Turkish coffee brewing pot. Sometimes you're just too busy to brew a coffee everyday (even it is does only take 2-3 minutes from start to finish). Or perhaps you hate being stuck with the crappy coffee found at your office. The versatility to brew a regular cup of coffee or an "espresso extract" is awesome. On a busy week, I will brew a heavy concentrated brew of coffee and store in a vacuumed, air-free, glass Porto bottle. When I want to make a coffee, I simply pour a measure of the coffee extract into a cup, cut with either iced or hot water and enjoy my quick, dead simple brew. When traveling, this thing really shows off. If you travel and hate using hotel coffee and coffee makers, take this on your next trip, use the in-room coffee maker to heat up bottled water and use the Aerobie's coffee cavity to hold your coffee safe for travel. You can then brew the best cup of coffee you'll ever have at a hotel. This goes for camping, business travel or backpacking. The whole system breaks down to really only two parts, the plunger and the reservoir with filters. You can leave the rest behind (scoop, funnel, stirrer) if you want. Learn where your coffee grinds should reach vertically in the brewer and free pour your coffee, stir the brewing grinds with the spoons or straws made available in most hotel rooms. Cleaning the system is easy, just rinse and air-dry or wipe dry. I reuse my paper filters 2-4 times and see little to no difference in taste or consistency. This a company that makes permanent metal disk filters for this brewer that many people love. I am reluctant to use them as a metal disc will not remove any extra oils left in darker roast coffee but some people like the flavor of the oils so to each their own. Bottom line, this is the perfect brewer for the everyday coffee drinker, the business traveler, college guy/gal stuck in a dorm room, tiny New York apartment goer or backpacker. Get it, use it and love it.
