Aeropress

The iconic AeroPress Coffee Maker from Aeropress Inc.

What we at the Overlanders reckon

we love this thing... we've used it A LOT. ! Light and tough and can be chucked around in the kit or the boot.

(Keep an eye out for our coffee equipment bag, coming soon !)

You can add lots of water or just a little, depending on how strong you like your brew. You can brew it for a short time or use the inverted method and let the coffee brew for a couple of minutes.

It's never bitter or gritty.

Because you're adding hot water (as opposed to a stove-top coffee pot) it makes it easy to prepare as there are lots of ways to boil water, from a billy in the coals to a fast butane stove).

It's a nice, smooth, strong brew, and the method does a good job showing the flavours in the coffee. It'll make a decent brew from about any coffee, and if you're using good quality freshly roasted and freshly ground coffee it really does a stellar job of displaying the flavours.

What Aeropress have to say

The AeroPress is ideal for any coffee lover looking for a rich and smooth cup of coffee without acidity or bitterness. Brews one to three delicious cups of American or espresso style coffee in about a minute, and clean up takes only a few seconds. It’s a great addition to any kitchen but since it is durable, lightweight, and compact, the AeroPress also makes the perfect companion when traveling, camping, or just going to work.
