Great gift idea: An incredible coffee maker, $25.95
This product was about $6 too much to make it into my Cheap gift ideas for under $20 series, but it’s too great a product and bargain to miss.
The Aerobie Aeropress coffee & espresso maker is the perfect gift for anyone you know who loves coffee, and make sure you buy one for yourself, too. It’s a press-style coffee maker that is easy to use, takes less than a minute to brew coffee, is easy to clean, and — to read the unbelievable amount of positive reviews — makes one of the best cups of coffee you may ever drink. As one reviewer said:
That thing is ridiculously good, and dead easy to use. I have always made my coffee weak and used a lot of cream. I thought full strength coffee was bitter and nasty. When I used this for the first time I just went ahead with the instructions and made it full strength, which is about 3 times stronger than I normally drink (following the instructions for diluting to coffee, not espresso).
I can drink this stuff black and enjoy it! Unheard of! Just a little cream and it tastes like dark chocolate, it is so smooth.
This coffee maker is so good that it has people — myself included — replacing those bulky, expensive coffee makers for good. Who’d have thought that a $26 coffee maker would be so outstanding? That’s what makes this a can’t-miss bargain, as well as the fact that it quickly pays for itself when you cut back on the Starbucks trips.

I haven’t used this product, but I can swear by coffee presses such as these and the ones made by Bodum. No other way of making coffee stays true to its flavour, and presses rarely make the coffee bitter. The coffee brews gently, so the bitter oils aren’t overextracted. Coffee made with a coffee press tastes so good you barely need to add much milk. And if you experiment with different bean blends and roasts, you’ll be able to discern the taste with a lot more clarity.
It’s easy to adjust the strength of the coffee too — just use more or less water. Best of all: you can cold-brew your coffee in one for a taste sensation. Don’t believe me? Here’s what the New York Times had to say on the subject: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/27/dining/27coff.html
That sounds really yummy!
