Aeropress ($45 Coffee Maker)

I've never been a big coffee drinker but I am a morning coffee maker. When Nicole and I got our first apartment, I fell into a rabbit hole of making coffee. The only reason I was saved from having a whole counter being taken up buy an espresso machine (no shade) is that I discovered Aeropress coffee makers first.

Just an easy and fast way of making excellent coffee. Four cups was always the perfect amount for guests - and it used just the right amount of coffee and water. I also love that the company has kept the price largely the same, even as the product evolves over the years, and I love that they documented that as well.

Edit: It looks like the price is now above $40. Disappointing but still worth it.
