It's not a huge deal in practice in my experience. You could always buy a press that uses filters, such as the aeropress.


I love the AeroPress. Bought one a week ago and it makes pretty amazing coffee. No need for an expensive espresso machine to make super-smooth americano... PS: I don't work for AeroPress :)


I too share your passion for the AeroPress, and might I add, that using the upside down brewing method[1] it makes excellent americano. Best I've ever had actually.

Coffee is not supposed to be bitter, and it's a shame that so many people think "Oh, well, that's just the way coffee tastes I guess.".

I recently got my parents one, and they went "Ohh, it can taste like that? That's really good!"

I've never heard of the upside-down method. That makes a ton of sense.


I often wish I was on commission for Aeropress, such is my apparent ability to sell the things.

They are excellent though - practically sell themselves.
