Aeropress Coffee And Espresso Maker Review & Giveaway (12/5)

by Marcie on November 7, 2011


The wonderful people at Aerobie and their awesome line of high performance sports toys are no strangers to Obviously MARvelous. I have worked with them twice before on two different product reviews, both having a positive experience of fun as a family. This time, Aerobie introduces us to a new product, unlike any from their usual genre, but one that is just as important in my daily life.


The Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker will absolutely forever change the way you make and drink your morning coffee. It creates the smoothest, richest, and purest cup of coffee in just a few simple steps and a total of only ONE minute from start to finish. The basic premise behind the Aeropress is simple yet perfect: hot water and grounds are mixed together for 10 seconds, then gentle air pressure pushes the mix through a microfilter. Although instructions are a cinch (even for me) I’ve included the demo video below to show all of you exactly how easy making an amazing cup of coffee, espresso, or a latte in the Aeropress is.

So how does that combination create the best cup of coffee?  The smoothness comes from correct water temperature and gentle air pressure combine to create rich flavor without bitterness. The richness comes from total water and coffee ground immersion where as other coffee makers just drip hot water onto the grounds. The purity comes from the micro filtered type press concept that makes for grit free coffee. The Aeropress combines all of these wonderful features to create one reasonably priced coffee making device!

I was lucky enough to receive an Aeropress to review. Before I begin talking about our experience I want to mention a bit of background about my love of coffee. I am a coffee snob. An addict beyond words. I am the only one in our home who drinks a cup of coffee each morning and the stronger the better. I prefer my coffee to taste as close to straight espresso as possible! Prior to receiving the Aeropress my wonderful hubs would use enough coffee grinds for 2-3 cups just to assure my daily single cup of coffee was strong enough for my liking. Upon receiving our Aeropress, my passion for coffee has only grown into wanting to kiss the designers of this amazing product.


As you can see from our pictures above, the process is so easy and fast, which matters when you’re still in zombie mode from not having had your morning cup yet. The coffee I’ve been drinking from my Aeropress for the past two weeks is outstanding to say the least. We use less grounds each day so that’s a money saver, my morning coffee is stronger and has a more vibrant, bold flavor, which makes me that much happier and since I’m the only one who drinks coffee on a daily basis, there’s no need to waste time or dirty our actual 12 cup coffee maker. There’s also no special cups to buy for the Aeropress so any variety of coffee grounds that you love, whether they’re store brand or exclusive, are alright to use.

The Aeropress was voted the highest rated coffee maker on the internet, and it has over 700 five star reviews on Amazon alone. At the amazing price of only $30, I can’t think of a better holiday gift for that special coffee connoisseur in your life that up until now, you assume has every coffee device out there. With the option to make a delicious cup of coffee in just a minute, they will be over the moon about the new Aerobie Aeropress, just as I am.

I like a vanilla latte. I’d be selfish and keep the coffee maker. I have none. Sigh.

I, personally, am a huge fan of Peppermint Mochas and any kind of Caramel coffee drink. If I won this, however, the gift would be for my baby brother who is returning from Iraq in a few weeks and who loves coffee even more than I do!
