Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great little coffee maker
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!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A nice alternative to a french press
this is a great alternative to a french press. it takes a little getting used to, but produces a great cup of expresso/coffee.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect single-cup coffee maker
I drink one cup of coffee in the morning. This is perfect. I was going to buy a pod-based coffee maker but found lots of people complaining about them. The AeroPress is simple and makes a good cup of coffee. Be careful, though. I ground some coffee at the grocery store at the drip setting, but it was apparently too fine and required A LOT of pressure to force the hot water through it. I have also learned a bit about how coffee is made.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good tasting coffee, easy clean up. Very portable. Compare to pod maker.
Been using my Aeropress for over a year. My observations: 1) Uses more coffee than a pod maker does. I used to grind my own coffee and make my own pods. For the same amount and strength coffee, my pod maker uses at least 30% less coffee. 2 )I'd say they taste about the same. The aeropress is a tad smoother tasting. 3) Making the coffee and clean up is about as easy using the pod. Of course since I make my own pods that adds about 30 seconds to the process. You don't have to do that with the aeropress. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I Love the AeroPress!
I bought this to replace a one cup coffee maker that I used to use at work. At first, it seemed like a bit much - I was used to: dump coffee into filter basket, pour water straight from water cooler into reservoir, hit switch, drink coffee. I had been experimenting with letting the water come to room temp or giving it a short blast in the microwave since it never had time to come to a sufficient temp during the one to two minute brew/drip cycle.

So I was apprehensive about: put filter on ... Read More
