AeroPress Original Coffee Maker

The AeroPress is the most beloved manual coffee maker in the world, with a fanatical following and its own World Championship competition. It uses air pressure to push water through finely ground coffee, producing a smooth, rich, low-acidity cup in about 2 minutes. It's virtually indestructible, weighs almost nothing, and works anywhere — kitchen, camping, office, hotel room. At $39, it's the cheapest path to genuinely excellent coffee.
