Perfect for those with heart burn!:
Wow! I've tried French presses, stovetop espresso makers, and of course, normal drip coffee, and none of them make coffee half as well as the Aeropress!!

I'm buying... more info

The coffee only brews for 10 seconds and after pressing you cup of coffee all you have to do is press the... more info
A lot of control, really smooth coffee, not espresso and not in 30 seconds.:
There is a lot of hype in the advertisements for this product. You have a lot of control. Of course you could always grind your coffee however you like but without a filter (such as a French press), or a filter that gets easily clogged (such as a drip coffee maker) it has it's limitations. But in this case you can grind it however you like the taste. I'd go for fine. You can use water whatever temperature you like (I like it boiling). You can let it steep for a while (although it will eventually drip... more info
