The AeroPress uses total immersion combined with gentle air pressure, so every coffee particle is in contact with the water for the same amount of time. The result is uniform extraction, a cleaner cup, and far more of the flavour you paid for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrews smooth, full-bodied coffee with low acidity and bitterness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro-filtered for a grit-free cup, unlike a French press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrews a single cup in under two minutes - actual press time is just 20 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight, near-unbreakable and travel-ready - perfect for camping, holidays and the office\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleans in seconds with a quick rinse and a push of the plunger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBPA-free, with a long-life silicone seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: these are the newer AeroPress units with reduced-plastic components.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAeroPress chamber and plunger\u003c\/strong\u003e - the core of the brewer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter cap\u003c\/strong\u003e - holds your paper filter in place during the press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100 paper micro-filters\u003c\/strong\u003e - for a grit-free cup, removing the oils that other immersion brewers leave behind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStirrer\u003c\/strong\u003e - sized perfectly to fit the chamber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScoop\u003c\/strong\u003e - measures the right dose for an AeroPress recipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning low?

Frustrated by the bitterness and inconsistency of traditional coffee makers, Adler set out to create a better way to brew a single cup of coffee - experimenting in his garage through 2004 and trialling more than 30 prototypes before unveiling the design at CoffeeFest Seattle in 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brewer's distinctive use of gentle air pressure produced rich, smooth coffee with low acidity and no sediment, and it quickly built a cult following among coffee professionals and travellers alike. Today the range has grown to include the AeroPress Go, Clear, XL, Premium and Steel - but the Original remains the model that started it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e AeroPress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original Coffee Maker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 240ml per brew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e BPA-free copolyester chamber and plunger, silicone seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 200g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAN\/UPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 085276000855\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat grind size should I use for an AeroPress?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA medium grind works best for most AeroPress recipes - slightly finer than a V60 pour-over and coarser than espresso. For shorter brews and more concentrated cups, grind a little finer; for longer steeps and more delicate flavours, grind slightly coarser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many cups does an AeroPress make?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AeroPress Original brews one large cup or two small (espresso-style) cups at a time - around 240ml of finished coffee per brew. For larger batches, the AeroPress XL doubles the capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the AeroPress dishwasher safe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes - the chamber, plunger and filter cap are all dishwasher safe on the top rack. In practice, a quick rinse is usually all it needs, as the silicone seal wipes the chamber clean as you plunge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I reuse AeroPress paper filters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper micro-filters are designed for single use, but rinse easily and can be reused several times if you prefer. Reusable metal filters are also available, though they allow more oils through and produce a slightly different cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the AeroPress better than a French press?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on what you're after. A French press produces a heavier, oilier cup with sediment. The AeroPress, with its paper micro-filter, produces a cleaner, brighter cup with no grit and less acidity. It's also far quicker to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I make espresso with an AeroPress?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot true espresso - that requires nine bars of pressure, far more than the AeroPress generates. But you can brew a concentrated, espresso-style shot that works beautifully as the base of an Americano, latte or cold brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I look after the silicone seal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seal occasionally picks up the smell of stale coffee. Once a month, remove it from the end of the plunger and wash both sides thoroughly in warm soapy water. To extend seal life, store the AeroPress with the plunger pushed all the way through the chamber so the seal isn't under compression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aerobie","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":55710191518081,"sku":"801708","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Customer return (box opened)","offer_id":55710191550849,"sku":"801708 DB","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/1572\/files\/Aeropress_Classic_noextras.png?v=1706626055","url":"https:\/\/ozonecoffee.mom\/products\/aeropress-original-coffee-maker","provider":"Ozone Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
