Aerobie
Best of the Rest
|
|
From Palo Alto, California-based flying disc manufacturers Aerobie, comes the Aero Press. We’re still trying to figure out how this vacuum press coffeemaker fits into their product line, but one thing is certain… it makes a pretty darn good cup o’ Joe. The Aero Press is slightly daunting when first pulled from the packaging, but after a quick read through the start-up guide and FAQ sheet we were up and running. The Aero Press is made in the U.S.A. and includes 350 filters in the box. With a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $29.99, the Aero Press is cheap, clean, and efficient. As it only brews small amounts of concentrated coffee, it is perfect for singles and households with only one coffee drinker because it takes up so little space and requires no counter space at all for storage. It’s also virtually indestructible. On the downside, the manufacturer recommends only making espresso-sized volumes (1-2 oz per cup) and then diluting them with hot water. This results in an “Americano” style beverage. Not exactly what the archetypal coffee connoisseur is usually looking for. We brewed some undiluted four oz. cups and drank them but didn’t find the resulting brew to be as bitter as the manufacturer’s FAQ sheet said it might be. We then tried it the recommended way. Aerobie’s “Americano” method of preparation works surprisingly well too, provided you’re able to get over the mental hurdle of drinking coffee diluted with water after brewing. Highly recommended!
