Alan Adler Profile – AeroPress Inventor
David Friedman, on Ironic Sans:
I figured that if the coffee maker had so many fans, a video about the man behind the coffee maker would surely be a hit. When I looked into its inventor and discovered that he also invented the Aerobie toy that I played with when I was a kid, I was delighted to discover a broader story than I originally anticipated.
I had this realization years ago. It was fun to know that the AeroPress wasn’t the first product invented by Adler I owned. Many years ago, I used to play non-stop with Aerobie in a golf course — after closing time.
I’ve read about he AeroPress invention many teams, but this article is a good summary. Still enjoy seeing prototypes and recipes:
And I went out in my shop and I made what was a prototype of the AeroPress. And I was just wowed at how good the coffee tasted. It was much sweeter, less bitter. Later on I measured it with instruments and found it had only 1/5 the acid level of ordinary drip coffee.
