Notes: 
Standard unit included 350 filters. AeroPress replacement filters are also available (sold separately).
AEROPRESS is the result of several years of applied research by inventor/engineer Alan Adler. He conducted numerous brewing experiments, measuring the brew with laboratory instruments. The experiments demonstrated that proper temperature, total immersion and rapid filtering were key to flavor excellence. He then designed and tested dozens of brewers before settling on the AEROPRESS design. The design was further validated by coffee lovers who tested prototypes in their homes.
There are several reasons why AeroPress coffee tastes so good:
* Total immersion of the grounds in the water results in rapid yet robust extraction of flavor.
* Total immersion permits extraction at a moderate temperature, resulting in a smoother brew.
* Air pressure shortens filtering time to 20 seconds. This avoids the bitterness of long processes such as drip brewing.
* The air pressure also gently squeezes the last goodness from the grounds, further enriching the flavor.
* Because of the lower temperature and short brew time, the acid level of the brew is much lower than conventional brewers. Laboratory pH testing measured AEROPRESS brew's acid as less than one fifth that of regular drip brew. The low acid is confirmed by coffee lovers who report that AEROPRESS brew is friendlier to their stomachs.
Why does the AeroPress Coffee Maker Brew a Richer, Smoother Cup of Coffee or Espresso?
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.
* Makes 1 to 4 cups (1 or 2 mugs) of coffee or espresso
* Made in U.S.A.
* Worldwide patents pending
