The AeroPress was invented in 1984 by Alan Adler, a renowned inventor and retired Stanford University engineering instructor. It brews coffee in just a couple of minutes, resulting in lower acidity and less bitterness than other methods. Thanks to its micro-filters, the AeroPress delivers a clean, flavorful cup with more clarity than a French press. Plus, its compact and durable design makes it an excellent choice for travel, camping, or brewing at home.
