AeroPress coffee tastes better because the ground coffee is totally immersed in the hot water, resulting in fast and extensive extraction of the flavour compounds. The AeroPress method shortens brew time to 20 seconds or less, which avoids the unpleasant bitterness created by slower methods.

As well, the acid level of AeroPress brew is much less than conventional methods, due to the shorter brew time. In fact, laboratory testing measured AeroPress coffee as having under a fifth of the acid generated by regular drip coffee makers. The end result? Coffee lovers are delighted by the fact that AeroPress brew is more friendly to their stomachs.
