AeroPress Delivers Cold Press Coffee in Minutes

AeroPress coffee maker inventor Alan Adler often gives talks about inventing. He always tells his audience to try things, even if they think they won’t work. His discovery that you can cold brew coffee using the AeroPress is the result of following his own advice.

Adler has always been interested in different water temperatures for brewing coffee. When he first got the idea to try making cold brew with the AeroPress, he expected that a long steep time would be essential to the process. After all, cold brewing coffee with room temperature water traditionally takes many hours. So he was astonished to discover that using a much shorter brewing time could produce very flavorful coffee.

Making one to three cups of cold brew coffee using the AeroPress is simple. Stir fine drip grind coffee and room temperature water together for one minute, press, add ice water to the concentrated brew, and enjoy. The extended stir time and fine drip grind enable the extraction of smooth, rich flavor in just two minutes, even when using unheated water.

The AeroPress has always been flexible, able to brew American style coffee or espresso style coffee for lattes or cappuccinos. But its newfound ability to make cold brew coffee means that Alan’s invention is even more versatile than he had thought. And the cold-brewing capability of the AeroPress makes it an essential brewer for those who don’t have access to hot water. Travelers, office workers, hikers, backpackers, bicyclists, sailors, and outdoorspeople of all kinds can brew smooth, rich coffee, hot or cold, anywhere they go — not just in their home kitchens.

The AeroPress coffee maker is made in the USA. For more information, call 1.650.493.3050 or visit aeropress.com.
