About Aerobie
The Aerobie company is based in California that designs high-performance flying toys. So what are they doing designing a simple gadget that makes really, really fantastic coffee and espresso? Makes sense to us! How else do people get the energy to go running around after flying toys, except by drinking lots of coffee?
Seriously though, the AEROPRESS, designed in 2005 by inventor/engineer Alan Adler, is the result of his years of methodical laboratory testing of brewing methods, brewer design, and prototype testing. Suffice it to say that the man did things right because the coffee produced with the AEROPRESS is terrific, earning tons of glowing and passionate reviews from all across the coffee-lover spectrum, including from us at Zabar’s. In our in-house testing, it quickly and easily made a very smooth, rich cup with no bitterness and no grit!
The AEROPRESS is portable, compact and easy to store, making it a particularly good choice for students, travelers, and those with small kitchens. Coffee geeks (you know who you are) will love having the AEROPRESS in their arsenal of coffee makers to play with, and the rest of us can just enjoy delicious AEROPRESS coffee every day.

This promotion lasts TWO WEEKS, ending on April 3, so head on over to Zabars.com.
It pays to know what kind of coffee you love to have from your coffee maker. For most brews, drip coffee makers are all right. For espresso, a dedicated espresso machine is the only one that will do.

Hi Hoskins!
You ask an excellent question.
The biggest difference between the Aerobie Aeropress and the Melita brewing methods is that with the Aeropress method, all of the ground coffee is steeped for the same amount of time, thus you get a very even extraction. With the Melita drip through method, the coffee in the cone is extracted for varying lengths of time, which means that you are getting both under- and over-extracted coffee. Overbrewed coffee = bitterness, and underbrewed coffee = waste and thin flavor. Even extraction is also the advantage of the French press method, but the Aeropress filters out the fine particulate that even the best French press leaves in your coffee.
Hope this answers your question!
