The ultimate travel buddy. It's easy to take along on any adventure and perfect for home enthusiasts. I absolutely love the whole look and feel of the AeroPress and it makes delicious, clean tasting coffee with the perfect amount of body. 

I prefer using single origin African coffees, especially Ethiopian, through the AeroPress! The sweetness and fruitiness shines through the when using the AeroPress.
