The Aeropress coffeemaker is a piston-style piston coffee maker that forces filtered water and coffee through an opening in one cup at a time, perfect for backpackers and campers. Due to its gentler brewing method that doesn’t expose grounds to oxygen that causes bitterness, this device has become immensely popular with backpackers and campers.

Brewing has minimal effects on the caffeine content of coffee. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), most healthy adults can safely consume 400 milligrams per day; however, as everyone processes caffeine differently it’s essential that you find what works for you as too much caffeine can cause jitters or anxiety and therefore should be consumed in moderation.

Aeropresses differ from espresso machines, French presses and pour overs in that they do not consist of glass or stainless steel construction; therefore they cannot guarantee toxin-free coffee making devices. Although their latest models now use BPA-free plastic material instead, it would still be prudent to opt for glass or stainless steel construction wherever possible for all your brewing equipment needs.

Start off when using an Aeropress by choosing a sturdy mug that perfectly accommodates its device at an appropriate level. Add the dry filter, as well as an empty and clean rinsed mug or server on top, weighing it, adding one scoop of your chosen grind into its holder, filling up to the “1” mark on your scale, then starting your timer.

After 30 seconds have elapsed, gently swirl the mug to even out the coffee bed and set it down to rest for 45 seconds before adding a plunger and pressing for approximately one minute – once your coffee bed looks dry with visible sediment in its base, ease off on pressure!

Create an unforgettable coffee experience by adding milk – it adds richness, depth, and an exciting aroma! Try brewing it either with or without milk depending on your personal preferences; don’t be shy to experiment! Many have reported that plant-based milks taste superior to dairy versions, as they contain far fewer levels of fat and cholesterol compared to their dairy counterparts. Plus, their higher fiber content helps lower cholesterol levels! If you want to boost your immunity, adding honey can help, as it has antibacterial properties which may prevent infections. Or try coffee containing nootropics such as L-theanine or taurine which are known to improve focus and memory.
