AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker

Update:
I tried this press with some Cafe Mam Tango blend (ground on #4 of their rating system) this morning. Oh, My, God. This was one of the best cups of coffee I have ever had.

After a few weeks of use of this, I have found that I can use water that came to a boil & cooled a bit, I don't measure the temperature. I also found that I can just stir the coffee & water slurry around until it feel like its done, I don't count 20 seconds out. But, I do find that I need to stick with their recommendation of how much coffee to use and how much water to use. Any deviations there made a not-as-good, but still decent, cup of coffee.

I probably read about 500 different reviews on this product before buying it because I could not believe that something as simple looking as this could really make a good cup of coffee. It does, it definitely does.

I have had only two cups of coffee with this so far an I am very impressed. It is as easy to use as the directions say. I am using a hazelnut flavored store-brand coffee that I ground at the store, extra fine but not espresso fine. For the first cup I made, I used the exact temperature for the water that was recommended, and a bit less coffee than it said because I thought it sounded like a lot of coffee. I also didn't stir the water around for very long because I couldn't quite believe it wasn't going to make a too-strong cup of coffee. My cup was weak, but still tasty.
Cup #2 this morning: two scoops of coffee, and I let the water in my hot pot come to almost a boil, I didn't bother to check the temperature. Filled the chamber to the "2" and gave it a good stir for about 20 seconds or so. Push into cup, dilute with the rest of the hot water for my "americano" style, add my usual cream and sugar, and YUM! This cup was perfect. No bitterness, just the right strength.
Clean up is as easy as they say, too. And heck, I'm even re-using my paper filter for a few times, just because they said I could.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to make a very satisfying cup of coffee. It requires just about the same effort needed to set up a typical drip coffee maker to make a pot of coffee, and makes a far better cup.

I came, I searched, I saw, I bought and now my coffee tastes better than Starbucks. I had two perfect non-fat Lattes this morning and I'm surprised and very pleased. Good stuff. No more visits to the local drive thru. I can make it right in my thermal mug and head on down the road. I am a happy traveler indeed. I followed the directions to a T and the coffee is every bit as good as the other reviewers mentioned.

Easy to make, easy to clean - what more could I ask for? Thanks for a great product.

I have found true love. What a simple and genius invention. I save so much $ in coffe grinds and since I already had a Sunbeam "HOTSHOT" , ...I get a fresh brewed mug of coffee/espresso in less than 2 mins.
Clean up is a dream!!!!!!!!!! This can be taken anywhere!!! Get it !

I'm completely sold on this little gizmo. Best coffee I have ever had, and it is small enough to take on just about any trip. The only problem is that I am far less tolerant of lousy coffee now!

this is a great alternative to a french press. it takes a little getting used to, but produces a great cup of expresso/coffee.
