The only thing it's missing is a cute little storage box:
I really love my Aeropress. Even the first cup I made with it took mere minutes. The clean up really is as easy as people have stated. I bought mine from Amazon. I was disappointed that I'd purchased filters separately. There's no need. The unit comes with a set of around 200 filters. There are also two black pieces that came with the unit and are not shown on Amazon. I figured out that one acts as a stabilizer to place the unit on a coffee cup more securely. The other piece...I'm still not sure of its... more info
Amazing Coffee in less than 5 minutes:
I was skeptical going into this. I didn't think that a funny looking device like this could make serious coffee. But I had heard a few people talking about it so I thought I'd try it out. Glad I did. The coffee is great. Probably the best "brewed" coffee I've ever had. It has all the qualities of a French Press coffee without the sediment (thanks to the filter) and tastes great.

Plus the cleanup is SO much easier than the french press. That alone makes it worth the purchase. I cannot rave enough about how much I love... more info
Pretty good coffee maker:
I was looking for an inexpensive alternative to an espresso maker. I didn't find it, but the Aeropress makes decent coffee. I like my coffee very hot, so I used hotter water than the directions stipulate (just below the boiling point). It made good regular coffee, but only fair espresso. I was not able to produce any "crema" on the coffee. The paper filters filter too well: they remove all sediment even when I use extremely find grind coffee.
The coffee maker is easy to use and eash to clean. My... more info
