I&#8217;ve had two students who are baristas drink some &#8212; both said, &#8220;Wow, really good coffee.&#8221; So, I recommend this little AeroPress and would like to hear if others know about this thing.<br \/>\n25 bucks for an espresso machine. Pretty good. It works by forcing hot water through the grind, not unlike the famous machines of Naples where (I hear) the expression &#8220;pull a shot&#8221; was made famous. Anyway, you can &#8220;push a shot&#8221; through AeroPress and you get a nice, smooth, shot. I add some hot water, and a little cream, and I&#8217;ve got a Cafe Americano.<br \/>\nAt school right now I&#8217;m brewing some Caribou Daybreak.
