Valentine's Day Gift Giving Guide: Gift for Coffee/Espresso Lovers -- The AeroPress (Review and Giveaway)

Congrats to Beauty to Love

 

SMOOTHEST

Using the ideal water temperature
and gentle air pressure brewing yields
rich flavor with lower acidity and
without bitterness.

RICHEST
Total immersion brewing results in uniform
extraction of the ultimate in full coffee
flavor. Other coffee makers drip hot water
on bed of grounds, over extracting at the
center and under extracting at the edge.

PUREST
Micro filtered for grit free coffee – unlike
other press-type coffee makers.

FASTEST
One minute from start to enjoy. The actual
press time takes only 20 seconds.

Wonder how easy it was to use?  Click here to read the easy to follow instructions.  Even though it looks there were a lot of pieces to the product, it was a cinch to put together.  In minutes, I can brew a rich cup of coffee.  And, because it is at full strength, like an espresso shot (unless you add more water or milk), it really wakes me up in the morning -- No more making 2-3 cups of coffee just to get that caffeine jolt to get me going.  And, on those days when I don't feel like a strong cup of coffee, I simply have to add more water for an American-style coffee or hot milk for a latte.  I can't tell you how much money my husband and I are saving by using the AeroPress.  Before receiving, I would send him out to the coffee shop before he left for work in the AM, to get us both large cups of coffee.  I have found that by using the AeroPress, the flavor and overall taste of our coffee is better, made in the comfort of our home, as compared to the coffee stops.  With the money that we save on making coffee ourselves in the AM, we can buy our favorite whole bean coffee brands, grind them and instantly have a fresh cup of joe! 

My husband has taken the AeroPress to work with him, when he has to work late and needs an afternoon pick me up.  And, when we recently went away for the weekend, I was able to pack the AeroPress and use it in the hotel rooms.  I can't tell you how many times I have stayed in a hotel and either the coffee pot was broke, or it was too dirty to even try to clean.   I love the convenience and durability of the AeroPress, and the overall ease of use is amazing, for a busy mom like me.
