In 2005, president of Aerobie, Alan Adler, was unhappy with the time required to brew his coffee. With that dissatisfaction, he set out to bring to life an apparatus that would brew perfectly balanced cups of coffee with minimal work and clean-up necessary, and the Aeropress was born. Years on the Aeropress has a cult-like following, swearing by its versatility, all-rounded quality, and utter convenience. The Aeropress looks like something you’d find in a science lab, which is pretty appropriate for coffee geeks like us! But don’t worry, unlike school science experiments, you can’t go wrong with the Aeropress if you follow the steps.
