Product Features:

• Total immersion of the grounds in the water results in rapid yet robust extraction of flavor
• Because of the lower temperature and short brew time, the acid level of the brew is much lower than conventional brewers.
• Micro-filtered coffee so pure and particle-free that it can be stored for days as a concentrate.

You can combine cold brew methods with this excelent device
I have had my AeroPress about a year or more now. I bought mine to use at work and bought a second one for home. It is very soundly made, the only thing you need to watch out for is to be sure you use a sturdy, squat cup, not a tall thin cup, or you may tip it when pressing the brew out. It took some experimentation, but I would like to share what I have found. Temperature, the amount of water, and the brew time all affect the result. Surprisingly, I believe the amount of water is the most critical with temperature being second. I have combined the use of my AeroPress with the idea of the recent popularity of cold brewing by using water that is only warm (about 150 deg F) and not more than about 2 ounces of water per scoop of coffee. (2 oz is about what the AeroPress is marked to allow per cup) I allow it to brew about 40 to 60 seconds, stirring the whole time before pressing out what is left. This may seem like a long time to French press users, but since so...

Better than French Press.
This product solves all the problems I have with a French Press. French presses are recommended for full extraction without paper filtration. But I find that once the coffee steeps it's not as hot as I like it. Cleaning a french press leaves grounds all over the sink. The Aeropress offers full extraction and makes delicious hot coffee. You clean it by shooting the puck of grounds right into the trash. You can also throw it in the suitcase for travel. The paper filter is very thin and doesn't interfere with the flavor. I find it best for making 1-2 cups. Five stars for coffee taste, convenience, durability, and cleanup.

Truly the best coffee
This inexpensive coffee maker is great. I first heard about it when it was being touted by a local jazz DJ - [...]. For under $[...], I had to try it. The coffee is easy to make - effortless, I'd say. It's easy to clean - again, effortless. It makes one or two cups at a time, with consistent taste. Nothing to plug in and nothing to go wrong. I've put my $300.00 espresso maker away and use my AeroPress, even for guests, since it's so fast. The instructions are short and to the point. What more is there to say? If you want clean, smooth coffee, one or two cups at a time, you can't go wrong with this little device.
