I'm such a coffee snob that I roast my own beans at home. But getting a good cup of joe at work and on the road can be a challenge. I can't stomach weak office or hotel brews, and I'm too cheap to shell out two bucks for a Starbucks jolt. The AeroPress has solved my problem. It looks like a giant syringe, but it brews a remarkably good--and strong--cup of coffee. I just dump hot water in with some of my favorite grounds and press the plunger, and less than a minute later I'm in coffee heaven. The transparent body is compact and cleans up easily, and it's made of durable Lexan plastic alloy, so I can toss it in my bag when I travel. My world is a happier place now that I know I can always get my high-grade caffeine fix.
