AeroPress

Buy AeroPress Switzerland – The versatile air-pressure brewer

AeroPress was developed in 2005 by Alan Adler (inventor at Aerobie) and has since established itself as one of the most versatile coffee brewers. Instead of gravity or vacuum, AeroPress uses air pressure – you push a plunger by hand through a cylinder with coffee grounds and hot water. The result: fast extraction (1–3 minutes), incredibly versatile (espresso-style, filter-style, cold brew), travel-friendly, and forgiving. Coffee Coaching Club carries the complete AeroPress range.

What makes AeroPress unique

Three characteristics define the brand. First, versatility: with the same hardware, you can prepare espresso-like shots, filter-style coffee, cold brew, and tea – depending on the recipe and technique. Second, competitive presence: the World AeroPress Championship has existed since 2008 and has made the brand a permanent fixture in specialty coffee culture. Third, robustness: AeroPress construction from polypropylene is practically indestructible, ideal for camping, travel, and outdoor setups.

Inverted Method: Turn the press upside down, let coffee and water steep together, then turn it over and press – allows for longer steep phases. Bypass Method: strong concentration with AeroPress, then dilute with hot water for a filter cup. Cold Brew: cold water, steep for 8–12 hours.
