The Aeropress was invented by the guy also famous for inventing the Aerobie frisbee. And while its plastic body doesn't carry timelessness of, say, enamel kettles or moka pots, the aeropress is capable of making seriously good coffee, with precision, in a short amount of time.
There are infinite variations of recipes one can play with when using an aeropress—just check out all the recipes from past world aeropress championships (yes, it's a thing! Casey even competed in the US Aeropress Champsionship in 2018!).

The combinations are endless.
But don't be overwhelmed! We've made this how-to video to start you off with a nice, basic recipe to get going. Give it a shot, and have fun playing with the variables of time, grind, and water temperature:
