AEROPRESS is the result of several years of applied research by inventor/engineer Alan Adler. He conducted numerous brewing experiments, measuring the brew with laboratory instruments. The experiments demonstrated that proper temperature, total immersion and rapid filtering were key to flavor excellence. He then designed and tested dozens of brewers before settling on the AEROPRESS design. The design was further validated by coffee lovers who tested prototypes in their homes. Adler has about forty U.S. patents and an equal number of foreign patents. He is President of Aerobie, Inc, Palo Alto, California and a lecturer in mechanical engineering at Stanford University. Adler's best-known invention is the Aerobie flying ring which set the Guinness World record for the world's farthest throw (1,333 feet).

The AEROPRESS is an entirely new way to make coffee.

- Water and grounds are mixed together for ten seconds.

- Then gentle air pressure pushes the mix through a micro-filter in 20 seconds.

- The total brewing time of only 30 seconds results in exceptionally smooth flavor.

- Tasters ranging from professional cuppers and author Kenneth David's, to coffee aficionados all praise the smooth, rich flavor.
