If you are of similar maturity to us, you may have fond memories of the Aerobie flying disc that was vastly superior to Frisbees and would fly through the skies seemingly defying the laws of physics. If you don’t remember this, you really missed out.

Well, the lovely people at Aerobie are apparently not just one trick ponies as, who’d of thought it, they somehow went and created a new way to brew coffee! And even more amazing is the fact that it a really great brew method - it has even given birth to the World Aeropress Championship and has been adopted by the specialty coffee community!

And rightly so. As the Aeropress (or “big coffee syringe” as one of our customers calls it) is an exceptionally forgiving and consistent way of making great coffee and is particularly useful for travelling and/or workplace java breaks.

It is effectively a big BPA free plastic syringe with a filter at the end instead of a needle and it makes around 250ml (8oz) of coffee per serving. You can also make a stronger coffee solution and dilute if you so desire but, whichever way you choose, it takes less than a couple of minutes to make a delicious cup of coffee and is really easy to clean.

The Aeropress comes bundled with everything that you need (apart from the coffee and a grinder) to get started:

Aeropress
Stirrer
350 filters
Filter holder
Coffee funnel (We also use it as a stand)
Scoop

So how do you use it? SImple. Firstly, open the box, remove the instructions and throw them away. Then...

Put your freshly ground and weighed out coffee into the inverted (with the filter end pointing upwards) Aeropress. As a guide, start with 15-16g for 250ml of water and adjust to taste.
Put the filter into the filter holder and wash though with hot water to get rid of any nasty paper taste
Pour just off the boil water over the coffee, filling the Aeropress nearly to the top
Stir a prescribed amount of times (we use three) and top off with water
Attach the filter holder and secure (before the end of the brew time)
Leave to brew for your preferred brew strength (our preference is about a minute from when the water makes contact)
Turn over onto the top of your favourite sturdy mug and push down the plunge until the aeropress is empty, and you hear a slight hissing sound

We admit, these are pretty rough instructions, but you can click your way over to our friends at brewmethods.com and you will be rewarded with a range methods for various brewing equipment.

"I just bought the Aeropress last week and I love it! Brewing is quick and easy and it makes a great cup of coffee. My first attempt was a trial and error but by the time I made my second cup it was easy peasy. I love it and have been telling of its wonders to all of my friends. Thx Greg"
