- How many cups does the AeroPress Original make?
- It brews one to three cups per press, depending on how much water and coffee you use. For larger groups you brew in batches.
- Does it need electricity?
- No. It is fully manual and only needs hot water, coffee and a paper filter, so it works while camping or traveling.
- What grind should I use?
- A medium-fine grind works well, similar to drip coffee. The press is forgiving, so small variations still produce a good cup.
- How does it compare with a French press?
- The AeroPress brews faster and uses a paper filter, so the cup is cleaner with less sediment. A French press makes larger batches and gives a fuller body.
- What is in the box?
- The chamber, plunger, filter cap, scoop and stirrer, plus a starter pack of paper micro-filters.
- Is it hard to clean?
- No. Twist off the cap, push the coffee puck into the trash, and rinse the parts. It takes well under a minute.
- Where is the AeroPress Original cheapest?
- At Target, for $39.99, as of our latest check.
