Very happy with AeroPress November 15, 2008
Very simple manual press for great espresso. It does exactly what it purports to do. Plus it make excellent coffee.

A few tips November 13, 2008
This truly is a great coffee maker. I have one at work and two or three at home (in case one breaks).

The manufacturer says you can reuse the filters, and you can! Oh baby. A filter lasts me 2 days to a couple of weeks. Maybe longer. The upshot is that a pack of filters will last a very long time. Eventually, the filters will get torn, and you'll have to replace.

Here's another tip. Sand down the rim of the filter holder to make it flat. I used a fine grit sandpaper on a flat surface and sanded down the rim until I saw uniform scuff marks on the whole surface. Why do you want to do this? So that the filter is held tighter and doesn't fall out when you go to throw out the grinds -- it's a real drag to dig through the trash can to get the filter back.

I love the AeroPress. Makes excellent coffee and lattes. I've given two of them as gifts.

Coffee snob: Happy at school/work November 6, 2008
I bought the AeroPress for use at my MBA program to bypass the overpriced coffee from the shop with long lines. The coffee is excellent, and that is coming from a complete coffee snob; I will face withdrawal symptoms rather than drink crap coffee.
I keep my AeroPress in my locker in a little bag and use water from the electric kettle in the break room. The accessories, coffee, and extra filters fit inside the small bag easilly. I actually rinse and reuse the filters many times; I have been using the same one for about two weeks now.
I love the little device and am going to order another to leave at home. I am going to put my thermos Cuisinart with grinder and timer in the garage, and just keep an electric kettle and AeroPress for all of my coffee needs. It is actually faster and easier than traditional methods, with better outputs.

Sound theory, put into practice. November 5, 2008
There's an interesting chart about coffee in Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen. It shows how the fraction of coffee solids extracted depends on the grind and the extraction time (with various brewing methods as data points). These two factors, together with the water temperature, completely determine how good a given coffee tastes.

The great thing about the AeroPress design is that it allows the careful user to control all three variables, and the most easily accessed region of the parameter space makes a very nice cup.

The promotional literature emphasizes that the AeroPress produces coffee with lower acidity. This misguided aim is perhaps why it recommends an overly low water temperature of 175F. Acid is an important part of good coffee. As emphasized frequently by the folks at sweetmarias.com, arabicas have higher acidity than robustas, and Kenyans, known for their bright acidity, rate highest in the cup.

If the acidity of your coffee is bothering you even when it is brewed at a reasonable 195F and not overly extracted (to the point of bitterness), then the bean is at fault, not the brewing method.
