great purchase, November 19, 2009
love this coffee maker - delicious coffee in 30 seconds.
it takes some substantial pressure though, fyi. like if you weigh 90 lbs, you might have some difficulty using this product.
Great coffee, great price, November 18, 2009

This little device is one of the most useful things I own! I use it every day to make my morning cappuccino. It took a few times to get the hang of using it but now it's a breeze. The key is gentle, consistent pressure. If you try to force it you will be frustrated. Also, it's not really necessary to use a thermometer for the water every time. I did it a couple times and now I know that the water should be just short of boiling. Contrary to some other reviews, it's EXTREMELY easy to clean. I just rinse it out and wipe the grounds off the plunger. I don't bother with the funnel because I don't see the point, so that's one less thing to wash. With the AeroPress and the Bodum Shin Bistro 5-Ounce Milk Frother I can make a great cappuccino much cheaper than I can buy one at my local coffee place.

Best Coffee maker EVER, November 18, 2009

Take your favorite coffee (not folgers or maxwell house) and make a cup with the aeropress. If the coffee isnt good, then youre doing it wrong!! I can now taste my coffee the way the roaster intended without adding cream or sugar. I can actually notice that different coffees now have different tones and tastes! Best thing Ive used so far that comes close to replicating a Vietnamese iced coffee. Very easy to use and clean, perfect for at home or the office. High quality product for such a low price! makes a great gift too

The Best!, November 18, 2009

We weren't drinking all the coffee from our standard coffee maker and I hated wasting all that coffee! I thought my answer would be a one-cup coffee maker. Now we use MORE coffee, because this makes a GREAT cup of coffee. Even the teenagers are making coffee now! This is a perfect little maker and I recommend it to anyone. Delicious, delicious coffee - however you drink it: espresso, latte, or just a good ol' cup of joe.

Great coffee - quick and easy, November 13, 2009

Having been long dissatisfied with the coffee I make at home, first using a drip machine and more recently a french press, I decided it might be time to splurge on a high end espresso maker, though the prices of those can be quite painful. When I started my search on Amazon, I found this and decided to try it before making the investment in an espresso machine. What a lucky decision - this makes excellent coffee quickly and easily, cleans up in a snap, and takes up no counter space.
