[Review and Giveaway] AeroPress Espresso and Coffee Maker

Coffee Maker, check; coffee grind, check. I was ready for my little experiment.  How to use the AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker? 

I’ll teach you:

 

HOW TO USE THE AEROPRESS COFFEE AND ESPRESSO MAKER:

1. Put a micro-filter in the filter cap. 

 

2. Twist the cap to the Chamber. 

 3. Stand the Chamber in a sturdy glass.

The instructions said that a clear glass is good to use as it would show you the process.I used this dainty cup instead. 

4. Get 1 scoop of ground coffee. The recommended ratio is 1:1. 1 scoop of coffee is to 1 serving (you can use the marks in the chamber to measure the amount of water). 

The recommended grind of coffee is drip-grind as it is easy to push and yields a stronger flavor. 

5. Pour hot water into the Chamber up to the corresponding mark. The Chamber is marked 1 to 4, the same with the Plunger – which you can also use to measure water. 

6. Stir the coffee gently using the Stirrer for 10 seconds.

6. Now I’ll show you magic.. Wet the rubber seal and press the Plunger gently to the Chamber. You will somehow feel the pressure back at you. Just continue pressing to maintain the pressure and the air will push the brew down the coffee grounds. 

You can see the coffee dripping from the filter

You will get only the purest coffee, no coffee grind mixed in the drip.

 Then you are done!

The Brown Bag Coffee yields a balanced coffee flavor. It is light-bodied, and mild in acidity.

The one I have done is sort of an espresso. The AeroPress  doesn’t give you a full crema present in an espresso pulled from a machine, but that is a minor. I love how easy and cost-saving AeroPress is (no plugs, no electricity-compatibility issues, no worrying about electric bills!)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF AERO-PRESS COFFEE-MAKER

Cleaning and maintaining the unit is so convenient, too.  After brewing, you simply unlock the Filter from the Chamber and clean the unit. (ah, by the way, you might want to use the coffee grounds as a body scrub!).

 

I love how I can just easily wash everything unlike the complicated machines that makes you always consult the manual for cleaning instructions (which parts can be washed, can be disassembled, etc). 

I love this new innovation and I am so happy that it is now in the Philippines. The product is made in United States and the materials are safe for use. 

As AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker is light, and can easily be assembled and disassembled, you can bring it everywhere – be it to the office, meetings, picnics or even when traveling.  I am thinking, one can even set up a coffee shop and use the AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker. You only need a small amount of money to invest, and it also makes for a great body exercise routine – the pushing part needs a lot of concentration.. 

I love this set and it makes a good Christmas gift for dads, bosses, or friends who loves coffee.  AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker  is now available locally through Lazada.com for Php2, 290.  Micro-filters will also soon be available in Lazada.

Now, I know you want one..
