Great story chronicling the inventor's repeated failures before finally making the Aeropress (and Aerobie!) a popular invention.

I have had a few and still use this maker often. We sold them in our coffee shop in Colorado, they sold great, and really do make a good cup of coffee. I think I have had one since about 07 or so at the latest, maybe late 06. Very cool to hear that they are selling so well.

only by happenstance. A buddy of mine ran a climbing shop and said that I should look in to these, that he saw them at a trade show. I did, and lucky I did, because they were awesome. Plus, besides his shop, I was the only other shop in town to sell them.

Aeropress is on my wishlist. Of course such a cool invention would come from such a cool mind.

They're only ~$35... Shouldn't need a wishlist for something that makes such great java for so cheap. Do yourself a favor and buy one today.

I know, I know!! Tax season has hit me hard. Plus, once I get that, I'll have to get a water pot for the office and that's a bit more... Excuses.
