The AeroPress, manufactured by the Aerobie Flying Ring company, is the most versatile brewing device on the market today. Depending on what type of filter disk is chosen it has the ability to produce anything clean and light filter coffee to punchy and rich espresso style shots.

Step 3

Start your timer.
