What do Frisbees and AeroPress have in common?
At first glance? Absolutely nothing.
But behind both stands the same genius — Alan Adler.
Professor, engineer, inventor... and lover of good coffee. 😎
First, he gave the world the Aerobie Frisbee , which set a Guinness record for the longest flight (406 meters!), and then he moved on to coffee.
Since he couldn't find a coffee utensil that really convinced him, he said to himself, "I'll make my own."
The result? AeroPress — one of the most popular coffee gadgets in the world today!
What's so special about the AeroPress?
☕ Super easy to prepare

Recipe of the Week: Tim Wendelboe
If you really want to try out what AeroPress can do — we recommend this recipe from Norwegian coffee master Tim Wendelboe 🇳🇴
Minimalist. Elegant. Perfect.
You need:
- 15 g coffee (medium coarse ground) ☕
- 200g water (96°C) 💧
- AeroPress (standard layout)
Preparation process:
- Rinse the paper filter under running water. Rinse for 10 seconds. 💧
- Add 14 grams of freshly ground coffee to the AeroPress. (Tim recommends 15-20 clicks on the Comandante grinder). 💪🏻
- Pour 200 g of water heated to 96°C. 💦
- Mix 3x back and forth. 🥄
- Place the plunger (handle) on the AeroPress to prevent water from flowing through the filter. 🛑
- Let soak for 60 seconds. ⏳
- After 60 seconds, remove the plunger and stir back and forth 3 times again. (It's really important to stir exactly 3 times - if you stir less, the coffee will be under-extracted, if more, it will be over-extracted). 👆🏼
- Reinstall the plunger on the AeroPress and slowly press the coffee into the cup. ☕️
The result?
Light, clean and aromatic coffee. Ideal for anyone who likes to taste fruity, floral and delicate coffee flavors. 🍑🌸

“AeroPress is like a Frisbee. 😎
Small, lightweight and always ready for action.
It goes with you to the sea, to the mountains, on a picnic or even to the balcony.
But instead of flying through the air, it flies straight into your favorite cup. ☕💥”
