Nobody really knows why the Frisbee manufacturer Aerobie eventually decided to produce a coffee maker. What was initially intended to be a portable manual espresso machine quickly became one of the defining products of the Third Wave Coffee movement.

The reason is obvious: no other coffee maker allows you to control as many brewing variables as an AeroPress, whether you prefer an experimental or a simple approach to brewing coffee.

Admittedly, the first generations were not particularly attractive. Aerobie has since taken the needs of its target audience more seriously and improved both the appearance and feel of the AeroPress.

One thing that has not changed throughout the AeroPress’s 15-year history is the preparation method. In short, it works like this: place a paper filter inside the cap and attach it to the brewing chamber. Add the coffee and hot water, stir, and once you think, “That has probably brewed for long enough,” use the plunger to press the finished coffee into your cup.

Then you drink it and marvel at the velvety mouthfeel and pronounced fruit flavours produced by the AeroPress. The combination of paper filtration and full immersion creates the perfect hybrid between drip and immersion brewing—or, in other words, between filter coffee and French press preparation.

Also worth mentioning: this thing is extremely robust. You could practically throw the AeroPress off a roof and it would not break. Not that we have tested it, but that is what we have heard.
