AeroPress’ popular machine works similarly to any French press but is built to brew even quicker and be easier to clean. The proprietary design can make espresso, Americanos, and cold brew coffee, the latter which you can create by letting grounds steep for one minute instead of 10 seconds. What’s more, the AeroPress can make up to three cups of regular (or strong) coffee at a time.
How it works: “Add one rounded tablespoon of finely ground coffee to the base of your Aeropress for every espresso-sized shot you’d like to make,” suggests the Good Housekeeping Institute. Then, heat water to 170ºF and fill the base up to your desired cup marking. Place the filter in the cap, attach the cap onto the base, then add the base over a mug. Make sure to stir coffee grounds for ten seconds and use the plunger to push water through the grounds and into the mug.
Who it’s best for: People who enjoy strong coffee.
