| 0:00.0 | If you're something of a coffee connoisseur, perhaps even wishing you could travel with your coffee maker for maximal caffeination while on vacation or a business trip, well, have we got a product for you. A couple years ago, I got recommended the AeroPress, and my wife and I have been using it regularly ever since, and coming full circle, they're now sponsoring us. If you've never seen one, AeroPress is a small, super portable, manual coffee press. Think French press, but with some key features in the design to give a much less bitter and incredibly smooth flavor, as well as to make it super fast to make a cup of coffee. To do this, it uses a unique 3-1 brew tech, sort of a mix of espresso, pour over, and French press, and as someone who normally finds coffee a bit too bitter, the results here are generally one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. You can actually taste the flavors in the beans instead of just the bitter. And here's the kicker, it's super portable for travel, it weighs basically nothing, won't break in your bag, and brews a full cup in under two minutes. And cleanup takes approximately only 10 seconds, no more suffering through gross instant coffee on the road. And as for cost, the AeroPress is under 50 bucks. And on top of that, right now, AeroPress has an exclusive offer just for our listeners. Visit AeroPress.com slash brain food.
