Aeropress Coffee Maker

Update. My AeroPress arrived today. I may run the risk of sounding like one of those people that are quoted on the box, but .......

This is easily the best way to make coffee I have tried in the home !
It couldn't be easier and more simple. I recommend that coffee fans should try it. I bought mine on ebay for £21.95. Here is the website ::

I am pleased cos I was one of those who gave it the thumbs up last week!

Ginge...I am completely hooked ! I thought that I would have need the strength of an all-in wrestler to push the plunger down, but, just as it says on the instructions, only a light pressure is needed.

I need never to buy a jar of Gold Blend ever again !

My favourite coffee at the moment is the Viennese Blend, from Sainsburys, with the fig seasoning !

Thanks Ed !

mikey: I may well get one myself...I've thought about it a few times....

Yeah, but I'll bet I still have to get my butler to grind the beans.

Thats the one Elina. But you shouldn't have to use both hands...its much easier than it looks !

I bought this one on ebay, and it took about 5 days to arrive ( via Collect at Argos, by the way )

Looks like an improvement on the cafetiere mikey! Yeah, I've done click & collect .. it's a great service.

By the way, I didn't have to press the plunger all the way down ! I only pressed it down an inch and then let the air pressure do the rest. The plunger, with its rubber end-cap thingy is a very tight fit. Remember to moisten the rubber under the tap first.
