 Great For Hot Water Dispensers At Work or Home... March 14, 2010
Larry F. Rogers (Aplace, MA USA)
I waited a long time to rate this. It is basically a bunch of plastic, and I thought it could not possibly be all that great. It is also overpriced. I mean, you can buy an electric pot style coffee maker for the same price, or often less.
So, why do I love this?
The coffee it makes is untouchable. I have tried all kinds of coffee makers, french pressers, Melitta style makers, etc. None could get it right. This makes phenomenal coffee every time.
I also love it because I have a hot water dispenser on my sink. Now, if you have to boil a pot of water to make your coffee, this maker may not be that great, because that alone is a pain. But with a hot water dispenser, this becomes a godsend allowing you to make a fantastic cup of coffee in several minutes.
My only complaint is the coffee doesn't hold temperature long and if you add cream or milk, you have to warm it up in the microwave for thirty seconds.
But the coffee is rich and wonderful, whether you are making lattes, espresso or regular coffee. And oh so consistent.
Oh, one other thing, the pressure you have to apply is not as light as the picture implies. It takes a major push to get that plunger down, but that is why it works.
I think this should cost about $10. because it is all plastic. And you need a cup or something that works well to inject the coffee into, it doesn't come with a spouted receptacle, which would make it much much better.
But it is ridiculously easy to clean. You can even clean the filters and reuse them.
I recommend this highly for people that have hot water dispensers at home or work and want to make a fast cup of coffee that is better than you will get at almost any restaurant. I wish the price was lower, but I will tell you, I am getting my money's worth nonetheless.
Great for camping March 14, 2010
A. Bishop (San Francisco)
I completely agree with the reviewers who write "coffee the way you like it" because you have so much control over the coffee flavor.
And I agree with the reviewers praising the "perfect design" because the product has been so well thought through; at first I couldn't figure out why they had to give a funnel to add the coffee--there seem to be a lot of parts. But then I started using my coffee grinder with it and realized the funnel makes it a lot easier to go from coffee grinder straight into the AeroPress.
What I think needs emphasis is that this is perfect for camping. Don't take a french press; the cleanup is too hard. Don't take those stove-top coffee pot things; even harder to clean. When this is over, you wipe off the plunger. Done.
I make one cup of coffee in the morning. Place 1 cup of water into microwave for 2:45, which brings it to recommended temperature of 170 degrees. During that time, I grind the coffee and put filter in AeroPress and am ready to make coffee when the water is ready. If you need to make more coffee, put more scoops and more water into the aeropress and press into larger container then divide into cups and top up with hot water.
Enjoy!
great coffee maker March 14, 2010
Martin P. Demaio (Ledyard, CT USA)
I've had this for a couple of weeks now. Consistently produces a rich, non-bitter, cup of coffee. Clean-up is really quick and easy. It took a little while of experimentation fine tune the process. I think my coffee does taste better when brewed at the lower temperature (175). I like that I can adjust the strength by adding hot water to the coffee concentrate that the aero press produces. You kind of have to do this else the coffee is too cold for my taste. That's one of the downsides. The only other downside is that it uses lots of coffee. I don't mind because I'd rather have one good cup than the 2 bad ones I used to get from my Mr. Coffee.
Amazing coffee maker March 11, 2010
Kyle (Minneapolis, MN)
I decided to try something new with after realizing that my current coffee maker made truly terrible coffee. After reading about this in Wired magazine and on Amazon, I decided to buy an AeroPress, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The first cup I made was with two year old coffee, and it was the best coffee I've ever made. And it only took maybe a minute or two more than using a drip coffee maker all in all (it takes longer to heat the water yourself but it saves me time on cleanup).
I'm really looking forward to see how good of coffee this makes when I make some with freshly ground coffee, and I'm probably going to buy a second one so that I can have one at work and at home.
Buy this coffeemaker! March 10, 2010
R. Mynatt (Midwest.)
After purchasing this unit on a whim, I put my espresso maker in storage. After my friends tried coffee brewed with my Aeropress, three of them have purchased their own. I love it! Yes, it does take some pressure to brew. I recommend just pushing nice and slowly on it. Delicious!
