A fast, portable, no-frills tool for making coffee anywhere

The world of coffee accessories is vast. But we think the Aeropress is one of the few that could actually appeal to a wide range of coffee drinkers.

‌

This single-serve coffee maker is fast, like a Nespresso machine, and easy to use, like a French press. And it makes coffee that tastes almost as great as a lovingly prepared pour-over. Senior kitchen editor Marguerite Preston says, “The AeroPress might look a little intimidating at first, but it’s truly simple to master, and ideal for travel because it’s lightweight, compact, and durable.”
