Alan Adler and the Birth of the AeroPress

Written By Michael Wense

A fascinating look at one of my favorite coffee gadgets. Before I picked up an AeroPress earlier this year, I was using a French press, which was okay...except for the disgusting coffee grounds that always got through the mesh metal filter and into my cup.

With the AeroPress, I get a great cup of coffee with no grounds in no time.

A St. Louis native, Michael Wense is a writer, editor, technology goon, and kitchen connoisseur. When he’s not hunting down misplaced modifiers or common misspellings, he’s tinkering with a short story or obsessively collecting recipes. Sometimes he’ll just sit and watch cooking shows on Netflix for hours. Like a zombie. When it comes to fiction, he prefers potent pieces with a cutting emotional edge. Novels are good, but the punch of a perfect short story will bring him to his knees.
