I thought, “oh, how cute” and promptly put it away on a shelf. Well, a year [or two] later, I finally opened my Aeropress and took it on our beach vacation. I could kick myself for not trying it sooner. When used correctly, it makes the best. coffee. ever.

The key is using not-quite-boiling water and stopping the press just above the coffee grounds so that it’s only the air pressure that’s pressing the coffee. And, unless you want espresso, topping the [large] mug off with hot water. This itty bitty [and super portable] press really does brew a mean cuppa joe.
