AeroPress was designed by an unlikely yet brilliant Stanford University engineering instructor, Alan Adle. Know originally having launched the record-breaking Aerobie flying ring in 1985, his company was known but for sports toys as opposed to kitchen equipment. The original foundation of the AeroPress comes from one conversation between Adler and the wife of his company sales manager complaining about watery coffee drip machines and the rest is history. In 2005 was officially released to worldwide acclaim while being Eco friendly and producing no waste all in 30 seconds.
