The Aeropress
A simple and effective single cup brew method, often used for a concentrated ‘espresso’ extraction. We prefer a less concentrated method, using a normal drip grind. This makes a ‘clean cup’ with little sediment in the cup. This total immersion brewing style allows for a very even extraction. Excellent for travel or camping!
