Our picks for AeroPress

1. Ethiopia Smooth & Fragrant

   Practically made for the AeroPress. High, cool highland beans produce a beautifully floral, aromatic cup — the paper filter keeps it clean and bright, letting every nuance come through. This is the one.

2. Mojo Rising Punchy & Smooth

   High-grown Peruvian beans with real character. The AeroPress draws out the punchy, smooth qualities beautifully — bold without being aggressive.

3. Guatemala Antigua Full Bodied & Rich

   The chocolate and caramel notes really emerge with AeroPress brewing. Rich, oozy and deeply satisfying.

Upgrade: try a stainless filter. Swapping the paper disc for a reusable steel one lets the coffee oils through instead of trapping them — a fuller, richer body in the cup, and you never run out of filters. Paper for clarity, steel for weight; worth owning both. Get the stainless filter — $29.95
