AeroPress

Simple and inexpensive, the Aeropress is one of my favourite ways to make coffee - I use mine every week and have had it for years. It's super easy to clean and very portable. So it's perfect for travel, camping, weekend breaks etc.

AEROPRESS comes complete with 100 filter papers to get you brewing some of the good stuff straightaway.

Rin's tips for a great cup:

• Put the filter paper in the cap, then wet the filter paper, chamber and your cup with hot water ... this ensures you don't get cold coffee
• Use about 14 - 17g of freshly ground beans per 2 "marker points" of water, and grind from fresh if possible
• Don't grind too finely - the grind should feel a bit like sand between your fingers
• I like to use the "inversion method" - so put the plunger about an inch of the way into the chamber and turn the whole thing upside down. Add the coffee and water into the upturned chamber
• Use slightly cooler water than boiling - 85°C brings out the best in the bean for this method
• Stir for 10 seconds and then leave for 30 seconds
• Screw the filtered cap on tightly, place the cup over the cap, turn the whole lot over the "right way" (holding everything in place!) and then plunge
• Top up your cup with fresh hot water as you wish
