Coffee - considered by many the quintessential caffeine delivery system in the world. Those luscious little beans have been cultivated on every continent except Antarctica. However, many people don't like coffee due to some of the bitter compounds present in the brew.
Compounds such as chlorogenic acids, trigonelline, furfuryl alcohol, and even caffeine itself lend bitter flavors to a pot of fresh coffee. Fans of the drink have been trying for centuries to find the best way to extract all the flavor and aroma from coffee, while extracting only a balanced amount of bitterness.
Aerobie, the folks that make those wonderful flying rings, created a way to brew a single cup of the most flavorful and yet least bitter coffee you've ever tasted. Coffee snobs around the world have enjoyed the Aeropress coffee maker, and have compared the brew it makes to brews made with $6000 Clover coffee machines, all for the reasonable price of $25.99!

My one point of contention with "single-serve" coffee makers is that they don't mean Thirstbuster size cup. I feel its one of life's cruelties to have to get up and make coffee before I've had my cup of coffee, but this would be having to make the coffee many times without enough coffee. I can barely be trusted to get my kid to school with only one cup. This would compromise my sanity. Oh wait...
