This is how I make coffee

I'm obsessed with good coffee. And I've collected coffee making devices from all over the world. I've written about a few of them here. 

For example, remember when I told you about my vietnamese coffee maker

And my ugly Italian Bialetti coffee maker?

Or my beautiful one?

Or my obsession with making Turkish coffee?

I love them all. But the truth is that all these are packed away and stored in boxes. The coffee maker I actually travel with and use everyday is my Aerobie AeroPress coffee maker.

Here's why: 

* It's light and compact, and so it's compatible with packing light for travel

* It's easy to use: When I'm done, I just pop the coffee and filter into the trash and rinse

* It's cheap: The coffee maker itself is very inexpensive, and it doesn't need a lot of coffee to brew a strong cup

* It's flexible. I buy coffee in random stores all over the world. Some of it is powder-fine. Sometimes I buy beans and crush them with a mortar-and-pestle. The AeroPress handles it all. 

I love my AeroPress. 

Here's all the stuff I use and recommend.
