About this item
- UNIQUELY DELICIOUS: No more average joe from fancy, expensive machines. By combining the best of several brew methods into one patented device, you get smooth, rich, grit-free coffee with a delicious, full-bodied finish that lingers well after your last sip. No bitterness. No cream needed.
- PATENTED 3-IN-1 BREW TECHNOLOGY: The only press that combines agitation and pressure with micro-filtration so you can use finer ground coffee. Hot water is pushed through the grinds, quickly aerating and extracting only the purest, freshest flavors, while keeping grit and bitterness out of your coffee.
- BETTER THAN FRENCH PRESS: No more bitterness or grit. The patented 3 in 1 brew technology of the AeroPress Original Coffee maker eliminates bitterness and acidity and creates a smooth, rich, full bodied cup of coffee. Paper or metal micro-filters allow you to use finer ground coffee for a faster brew time and no grit (unlike the mesh filter of a French press). No more messy coffee grounds – clean-up takes seconds! Durable, shatterproof design, perfect for travel, camping & gifting.
- TRAVEL READY: Compact, durable, shatterproof and lightweight. Pack it in your bag and take it on the road. No more mediocre (at best) hotel or office coffee.
- PERFECT GIFT FOR COFFEE LOVERS: Our little coffee innovation is a standout gift that promises a uniquely delicious coffee experience; It’s an ideal present for birthdays, holidays, or any special occasion, almost guaranteeing a smile and a hug
- ONE YEAR WARRANTY: Easy to use and maintain and loved across the globe, we truly believe in our coffee press. But to be sure you do too, we offer a one year warranty.

Best cup I’ve ever made at home!
Top reviews from the United States

- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019Size: StandardColor: GrayVerified PurchaseThis 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2025Size: StandardColor: GrayVerified PurchaseI LOVE this coffee/espresso maker. It is compact, really well designed, easy to use, easy to clean and it makes great coffee. I have a small apartment kitchen with very little counter space, so this compact espresso maker is perfect for me.
It does require a little arm strength to press the plunger in, but that is the only drawback. The whole thing is about the size of a tall coffee mug. I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2025Size: StandardColor: GrayVerified PurchaseThis little gadget turns crappy, stale coffee that has been sitting on your shelf into a sweet nectar of life, reviving one from the depths of a coma into an invigorated existance ready to take on whatever the day may bring.
Seriously. ...And it's so easy to clean.
I had been looking for a small, easy to use, one cup coffee maker that didn't break my budget and a friend turned me to the Aero Press. My only regret is that I didn't buy the fancy pink travel one with the mug.
If you decide to purchase, please be sure to watch the videos. This method of brewing coffee is different from French Press, etc. even though it incorporates all the scientific concepts of getting the job done.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2024Size: StandardColor: GrayVerified PurchaseThis would be it.. It's a surprisingly low tech solution to a very nuanced problem.. Standard coffee brewers generally only do one thing half-decently (dark roast at low temp, uneven infusion) .. Not everyone will be in the market to learn how to brew with a dripper like a V-60. I think the 'dummy' solution for most people is a french press. But what most people want is really an Aeropress.. They just don't know it.
French press coffee is, in of itself, kind of tricky to get right without a precise coarse grind and/or possibly adequate filtration. On the face of it, the Aeropress seems more complicated, but it has an easy learning curve and is very hard to get wrong. The key to this is good filtration combined with very restrained brew times. You can use almost any ground coffee in this device once you get a feel for it. The workflow is so fast, I generally use it instead of a dripper when making less than 500ml of coffee.
It's best aspect is its versatility. There are a hundred different ways to use an Aeropress. Most of them will be dead right. You can, straight up, use it like a french press. The recipe I learned makes "Aeropresso", like a concentrate: I bought my first one back when they had you just fill the scoop and add water to "1" .. 30 second steep and then press. Makes about 100 ml of concentrate which you can then just add hot water diluting to the desired strength. Though most people use other methods these days (do some research online, James Hoffman did a whole series on this kit), I still find the above to be a perfectly decent method, especially when trying to make four cups of coffee at a time - Don't let people tell you it's not possible. I use mine to make cold brew concentrate pretty regularly.
It's IMO the easiest way to get a fantastic cup of coffee from whatever beans you've got, if you don't exactly know what you're doing. This is why I think most people should own one of these instead of a french press or a small plug-in brewer. The Moka pot is certainly a contender as well, but it does one thing really well. You either like that thing or not. The Aeropress does many things well. Even if you're a pod person and you just want to have an occasional cup of coffee you made yourself, maybe just to pass the time, this will scratch that itch. And it just might ruin your k-cup machine for you in the process. Fair warning..

I particularly like the way the puck of grounds and filter come out after the brew. Simple but effective, and cleans up with minimal water usage (which is a precious resource when off-grid).

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly rich and creamy coffee
Size: StandardColor: GrayVerified PurchaseI cannot imagine having my coffee any other way anymore! I use the Aeropress to make a blonde roast espresso beverage in the mornings for high caffeine content kick-in-the-face. I must say, I am impressed by how the coffee turns out every time. Although it’s not the same as making an espresso shot from a professional 15 or 20 bar machine, it gets pretty close! The coffee always comes out very smooth, rich and creamy — which I rarely find from espresso machines. I would prefer my Aeropress over a professional machine any day.
It’s a bit of a challenge trying to get the crema right and it’s taken me a lot of trial and error with the metal filter and the flow control cap, but it’s not impossible. Of course, the crema is not the same as shots from a professional machine, but I’ve found that tamping the grinds inside of the chamber and filtering with the metal filter and flow control cap work really well. You’ll need a fairly longer tamper, and you’ll need to add a bit of pressure to get the coffee and crema through, but you end up with great espresso-like shots every time.
Overall, it is very easy to clean. I rinse and store after every use, and then I chuck it into my dishwasher at the end of every week. We also have a small espresso machine, but I’ve found that to be tedious to clean and very noisy to use, so I opt for using the Aeropress instead. It’s simple to use, has a sleek design so it doesn’t take up too much storage space, and it produces amazing quality coffee. I’ve since ditched my French press, pour over, and my De’Longhi manual 15 bar espresso machine all in favour of this quick and easy-to-use and contraption!

5.0 out of 5 stars Increíble.
Size: XLColor: Gray XLVerified PurchaseVengo de espresso y V60. La facilidad de usar el AeroPress, es algo notable y espectacular. Sobretodo porque saca una taza deliciosa de café. Más fuerte que un V60, pero con menos intensidad de un espresso (esto ya dependerá de las recetas que uses).
El amplio repertorio de recetas para este método hace que puedas estar jugando y sacando distintas tazas, al final para que no sientas “monotonía” con siempre tomar lo mismo (si eso llega a ser un factor para ti). Pero también siempre sacando tazas constantes y ricas usando tu receta preferida.
100% debe estar en todo hogar que tome café.

5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Preparar un buen café nunca había sido tan sencillo!
Size: StandardColor: GrayVerified PurchaseMucho mejor de lo que esperaba.
Usarla para preparar café es muy sencillo. A pesar de su simplicidad, permite preparar el café de diversas maneras. Mención especial al diseño general tanto de la Aeropress como de los accesorios incluidos, que entre su simplicidad, se nota que fueron muy bien pensados para cumplir su cometido casi a la perfección.
Ya viene con filtros incluidos, los cuales, aunque tenía mis dudas, sí que se pueden reutilizar algunas veces sin alterar el sabor del café — y comprar adicionales es relativamente barato. Limpiarla también es muy sencillo y rápido. Y ciertamente es algo más “portátil” que otras cafeteras.
Aunque se puede preparar un buen café, solo se puede avanzar hasta cierto punto, y, a pesar de lo que indica el título de esta publicación, difícilmente se lograra un café tipo “espresso” o similares que requieran de máquinas avanzadas para lograr el nivel de extracción requerido. Pero me parece un muy pequeño precio a pagar a cambio de la simplicidad que ofrece, y del buen café que de todos modos se puede lograr.
Otro defecto, al menos en mi caso, es que el “tubo” exterior de la Aeropress venía con un pequeño defecto estético, que la hace parecer como si tuviera una pequeña mancha en el interior (incluso me hizo pensar que recibí una unidad usada y que no había sido lavada de manera correcta). Este defecto no afecta en nada a la extracción, y no es algo que me importe demasiado; pero a personas que quieran tener la Aeropress en un lugar visible, sí que podría importarles si recibieran una unidad con el mismo defecto.
Sin duda he quedado gratamente sorprendido con este producto.
