The AeroPress is an entirely new way to make coffee, American style or Espresso style for use in lattes, cappucinos and other espresso based drinks. AeroPress brews simply delicious coffee, 1-4 cups per pressing. Ideal water temperature and faster brewing yields rich flavor with lower acidity and without bitterness. Other brewing processes use near boiling water and long exposure to coffee grounds. Quickly brew a variety of coffee drinks including an Americano or an espresso-style shot for use in lattes or cappuccinos. Its total-immersion system permits extraction at a moderate temperature and a short brew time. Water and grounds are mixed together for 10 seconds, then gentle air pressure pushes the mix through a micro-filter in just 20 seconds, which avoids the bitterness of long processes such as drip brewing. The air pressure also gently squeezes the last goodness from the grounds, further enriching the flavor. The total brewing time of only 30 seconds results in an exceptionally smooth brew. The AeroPress is BPA free.

I purchased this coffee maker based on reviews I read here and I'm happy to report that I love this coffee maker.
The coffee is strong but not bitter.
Cleanup is super easy. Yeah!
The price is nice.
Coffee isn't muddy like with a French press.
I appreciate that the paperwork that comes with the AeroPress suggests that you can re-use the filter so I tried this, but the coffee ends up being more muddy, which I did not like, so I've been using a fresh filter each time.
I love, love, love the simplicity of the design and that it takes up just a little room in my tiny kitchen. And I love the whole hands-on approach of adding the water to the coffee grounds, stirring the coffee grounds and slowly plunging to make delicious coffee. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Only a little more involved than a regular drip machine and this thing really does make a good cup of coffee.

I purchased this great coffee / Americana press in May 2008. It makes premium coffee drinks somewhere between a Peets and French pressed coffee quality- providing you use good clean water (and temperature), and quality fresh ground beans to the correct fineness (I usually use the Safeway or Costco rectangular burr grinders set "2 clicks counter-clockwise from the right."). Word of advice on making this unit last as long as possible since I recently had to purchase the thermoplastic/rubbery plunger piece ($6-$7 from Aero-Press) after almost 2 years of daily use: The black thermoplastic plunger will probably be the part that will wear out on you. To prolong or maximize its useful life, immediately after coffee extraction, make sure you either empty and wash the press, or if you need to drink your coffee first, after extraction and before your first sip, separate the black screw-on bottom plastic filter and push through the used ground coffee (into your organic garbage container). It will keep the thermoplastic (rubbery) plunger from prematurely and permanently wearing out due to heat, moisture and constant wall compression of the AeroPress (as it sits in your sink). Once the seal between the plunger and the main cylinder is permanently compromised, the air compression won't press the air through the bottom of this press and your coffee making will be less than perfect. Take it from my experience. With a little bit of experiment, experience and immediate unit separation, it's the best tasting (single) coffee / latte maker, closely second only to your $3-$4 local barista-made beverages. If you do the math, it all really adds up to either wasted money, or $aved money. After trying this, if you still think coffee from a Peets, Tully's or Starbucks is still way better, you either have too much time and money to spend, or you must be a stockholder. Enjoy!

The key to coffee or tea not being bitter is using 195 dF water instead of boiling water. Aeropress recommends 175 dF water. This can easily be done with a Zojirushi 5.0 L Hot water Pot, which is tall enough to fit your cup and the maker underneath.
After pressing down, for several minutes my coffee was cold. If you coffee cups has little cracks, you might shatter it with the pressure required for a few minutes to make the coffee.
Also their scoop that make one little cup of coffee, and I can make 6 cups of coffee in the Espresso Inox stove top maker. If you want to make less bitter coffee, I recommend a French Press and 195 dF water. There are inexpensive glass ones or the Insulated Stainless Bodum Columbia.

I just got it today.(Apr. 16, 10) I got it today and was all excited till I opened up the package and tried to rinse the parts for my 1st brew. Unfortunately I found an almost hole and a little scratch outside the chamber so my excitement was gone and thought about returning it. Actually, at first I hoped it's a tiny bubble that you can observe in some of the plastic containers but the 0.4 inch scratch forms almost a hole and the center's forming a 0.1 inch circle that almost looks like a hole aside some shallow, longer scratches near it. But I'm a coffee snob myself so my curiosity sort of killed the disappointment thinking it won't affect the taste of coffee anyhow as the defect is not inside. I wasn't wrong. The coffee tastes good. Lots of people said it needs lots of pressure to push the plunger but for me, the water didn't stay long enough to level the number 2 -- actually it was gone down to level 1 after I was done stirring so I was a bit worried if the coffee turned out watery. The thing is it came up rather strong so I made it a latte. As for the taste, I'm pleased. I'll be brewing another cup once the equipment dries up...this time it'll be a pure espresso taste testing. I'll update my review in a couple of hours if I could.
I've just made another cup of coffee. My freshly brewed espresso tastes awesome!
