(More customer reviews)This espresso maker consists of two plastic tubes, one of which fits inside the other. The outer tube has a coffee filter holder on one end. The inner tube has a soft rubbery plunger that fits very snuggly inside the outer tube.
Steps to making coffee are:
1. Insert filter (the espresso maker comes with a pack of 350 filters) into the filter holder and screw the filter holder onto the outer tube.
2. Set the outer tube on a mug, with the filter at the bottom.
3. Add measured coffee grounds (I use fresh ground beans for each cup)
4. Add measured hot water
5. Stir gently for about 10 seconds
6. Insert the plunger and gently force the coffee through the filter paper into the mug.
7. Drink this as an espresso, or add hot water for an 'Americano'
Advantages of this maker are:
* IT MAKES GREAT COFFEE -- all the flavor and bite of a really good espresso, with none of the bitterness or residue of French press coffee
* You can use very fine ground coffee to get the most flavor out of your beans
* The hot water stays on the coffee grounds for only 10 to 20 seconds, so that none of the bitterness associated with over brewing coffee
* Easy and quick to use, can make 1 to 4 cups at a time.
* Very easy clean-up
* The plastic is high quality and the unit should last a lifetime
* No electricity needed, and no moving parts -- you can make coffee anywhere.
Disadvantages:
* The recipe as used makes very weak coffee -- I had to double the amount of ground coffee per cup
* When brewing the coffee in the maker, a very nice 'crema' forms, but this is lost when the coffee is pressed through the filter
* The unit is not dishwasher safe.

The AeroPress is an entirely new way to make coffee, American style or Espresso style for use in lattes, cappucinos and other espresso based drinks. AeroPress brews simply delicious coffee, 1-4 cups per pressing. Ideal water temperature and faster brewing yields rich flavor with lower acidity and without bitterness. Other brewing processes use near boiling water and long exposure to coffee grounds. Quickly brew a variety of coffee drinks including an Americano or an espresso-style shot for use in lattes or cappuccinos. Its total-immersion system permits extraction at a moderate temperature and a short brew time. Water and grounds are mixed together for 10 seconds, then gentle air pressure pushes the mix through a micro-filter in just 20 seconds, which 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. The total brewing time of only 30 seconds results in an exceptionally smooth brew.
