description

With the help of Aeropress, you can make sure you get impeccable coffee 100% of the time. The Aeropress is a manually operated device capable of producing pro-standard cups of filter coffee and espresso in a jiffy. Simply put a couple of scoops of your favourite coffee in the top, stick a filter in (included) and pour in some hot water then, using the plunger, press down and in under 30 seconds you're finished. The result? A gentle blend and roast. A richer, smoother flavour.

Total immersion of the grounds in the water results in rapid yet robust extraction of flavor
"Because of the lower temperature and short brew time, the acid level of the brew is much lower than conventional brewers."
Micro-filtered coffee so pure and particle-free that it can be stored for days as a concentrate.
AeroPress is chamber is nearly self-cleaning. A 10-second rinse of the plunger is all that's required.
"Compact, perfect for camping."

I have not tried this on a camping trip yet (well, it is still February), but at home I find it brilliant. I was looking at various coffee machines to replace one which had broken, and decided that I would try this before investing in a more expensive machine. It is simple, easy to clean, needs no electricity, and - most important - makes delicious coffee.

One addition I made was to use the cup from another unused coffee maker which had been languishing at the back of my camping cupboard for a few years (a cafetiere hot mug) which was too difficult to clean. I use this as I feel uneasy about putting pressure on a china mug.

With this press, you can choose your own coffee, and adjust the strength. The cost of the filters is minimal, and it is a doddle to clean and store.

At home, I combine this with a Bodum coffee frother - not sure if I will keep to this when camping, but I am sure that the aeropress will earn its place with our camping essentials.

The only reason I might add a coffee machine at home is to make larger quantities, but for camping, I am looking forward to using my aeropress.
