An Aeropress

So for standard coffee they recommend adding hot water to the cup after filtering an espresso volume of water? This looks interesting... my current kettle even has a proper temperature setting....


The filters seem a bit pricey considering they're only for a single cup (35 days @ 10 cups / day ). I wonder if they're any different than a standard coffee filter that could be bought in bulk and then cut to size?

Internet says you could make your own. Its just a 2.5" circular paper filter. Found someone who uses one of these to cut a bunch of them at once w/o having to trace and cut by hand.

I got an able metal filter for mine. Bit of an upfront cost but well worth it IMO

You'll get more of a french press type flavour w/ more oil w/ a mesh filter.

Got the Aeropress today and I'm impressed. Its quick and extremely easy to clean.

Actually I bought 4 of them. They are for my mother to listen to.

1. Religious chants and music for her to sleep to
2. Old famous singers from 70s.. music from her era
3. English Lessons audio to learn English better
4. One to carry about with misc stuff.

1 and 2 have a microSD card filled a bit. 2gb and 8gb cards

still I need some more microSD cards. I am asking my friends for their small cards they dont use no more... she doesn;t need a 32gb card lol.

no fiddling with cards for my mom... rather buy these and label them. Very ez to use and the songs continue after being turned off. resume.

room filling sound without being tinny and has a removable replaceable cell phone battery. I just hope the screen lcd will last. screen turns off after a minute i think. But for $20 no biggie. The batteries on amazon cost $8... so I rather get a new whole device lol and power it by microUSB. Batteries from china are like $6.

Yeah I like it. The filter wasn’t new had it for more than a year, was just mentioning it as an alternative. I ttend to use a French press (bodum) a lot and a chemex if I want to make more (able filter as well) that is likely why. Oil good :biggrin:
