Frequently Asked Questions

Can an AeroPress make espresso-style coffee?

AeroPress can produce a concentrated, espresso-like brew that works as a base for milk drinks in a pinch. It operates at much lower pressure (1–2 bar vs. 9 bar) so it doesn't produce true espresso with crema. The Fellow Prismo attachment improves concentration. For home use without a machine, AeroPress is an excellent, portable coffee maker — just understand it produces "espresso-style" rather than proper espresso.
