How to: Aeropress

Alan Adler, the president of Aerobie in 2005, invented the Aeropress. It started when Alan wanted to make a simple easy to brew single cup coffee maker. Up to date, Aeropress has become one of the easiest ways to brew coffee. The Aeropress uses immersion pressured-drip with paper/metal filter to give a clean finish and smooth cup of coffee.
