HOW TO USE AEROPRESS

Aeropress is one of the most popular ways of brewing coffee and even has its own world championship held every year. So if you're a minimalist, traveler, or living on your own and need to brew coffee quickly, this is the coffee maker for you.

Aeropress makes a perfect cup of coffee with hot water and ground coffee within just a few steps. Completing one or three cups of coffee takes around one to two-and-a-half minutes, depending on your preferences.

The Aeropress is a plastic tube with a piston mechanism, where pressure from the push of the handle led to a faster brewing time and clean result. You can be creative when brewing your Aeropress. If you want a brighter cup of coffee, use a fine grind and brew for a short time. If you want a full, and balanced flavor, you can use a coarse grind and brew for a longer time.
