The Community

I never knew there was such a solid community.

I hope Aeropress will become more popular in the future. The taste is good, and the process of making is like a science experiment, so I really enjoyed it.

Conclusion

The Aeropress Championship showed how passionate baristas from around the world can come together with unique brewing methods.

It’s clear why Aeropress has such a dedicated following.
