Their story
The company was founded in 1984 as Aerobie, Inc. by inventor and retired Stanford University engineering instructor Alan Adler. For many years they manufactured high performance sport toys, including the Aerobie Pro flying ring, which was used to set a Guinness World Record for farthest thrown object.
Then, in 2004, Alan began studying the brewing process with a simple goal in mind: brew a superior cup of coffee. The AeroPress Original debuted to critical acclaim in 2005, and is now sold in over 80 countries. It has even inspired the World AeroPress Championship, a fan-driven global phenomenon where creative coffee lovers from over 60 countries compete to make the best cup of coffee using their favorite AeroPress recipe.
In 2017 they sold the Aerobie sport toy line and became AeroPress, Inc. Smart design and creativity have always been the heart of what they do, and along with their customers, partners, and the World AeroPress Championship, they are now squarely focused on inspiring even more coffee lovers around the world to revolutionize their coffee routine!

Brewing Basics
If you’re new to brewing, keep these tips in mind to make your perfect cup:
Pressing too fast or with too much force compacts the coffee grounds, making it harder to press into your mug
If the water is running through too fast, your grind is too coarse
Rather than focusing on brewing in the “right” way, prioritize finding a method that makes coffee you love. If it tastes good, you’re doing it right!
Brewing Ratio for AeroPress Brewing
In the context of AeroPress brewing, to brew a six-ounce (175 ml) cup of coffee, the recipe could be expressed several different ways: It is consistent (within an acceptable margin of error) to brew with one scoop of coffee + six ounces hot water. It is precise using a scale and the 1:17 ratio, to brew with 10 grams of coffee and 170 grams of hot water: 10 x 17 = 170. (It should be noted that with brewing volumes larger than the capacity of the AeroPress brew chamber, the effective brew ratio can range 1:10 to 1:13, and the resulting brew will be diluted to the strength of a 1:15-1:19 brew.)

The AeroPress Tinted Clear Coffee Maker is the brewer we've been waiting for: equal parts design object and precision tool. At Buna Coffee, we've watched South African coffee lovers move beyond pods and french presses toward gear that performs as good as it looks. This tinted clear coffee maker delivers café-grade espresso-style cups in under a minute, anywhere.
Unlike the opaque originals, the tinted clear chamber lets you watch the entire brew unfold, bloom, agitation, and plunge, which is genuinely useful for dialling in your grind. It's built from durable, BPA-free Tritan that resists scratching and clouding far better than older plastic models.
For us, the appeal is twofold: it's a serious aeropress coffeemaker for World AeroPress Championship-style recipes, and it looks at home on a minimalist Cape Town kitchen counter or a Joburg co-working desk.
The tinted model retains the full standard chamber capacity, so you can run official championship recipes without recalculating ratios. Key upgrades worth noting:
Tinted Tritan chamber
For visual brew monitoring and long-term durability
Refined silicone seal
Engineered for consistent pressure across hundreds of brews
Compact, travel-ready footprint
That fits in a backpack or carry-on
Compatibility
With all standard AeroPress paper and metal filters
It's the same brewing physics our community trusts, dressed in smarter materials. Think of it as the design-led evolution of the original coffee maker.
Wondering how to use a AeroPress on the go? Here's our go-to method:
Learning how to use a aeropress takes about three brews to nail.
The shift toward aeropress south africa brewing isn't a trend, it's a practical answer to load-shedding, remote work, and travel. No electricity required, no fragile glass, and clean-up takes 10 seconds.
For overlanders heading into the Karoo or corporate commuters hopping between Sandton and Stellenbosch, the Aeropress eliminates the need to suffer bad hotel coffee. Bring your beans, a hand grinder, and this brewer, and you've got speciality-grade coffee anywhere. The hardware pays itself off in skipped Wimpy americanos within a fortnight.
Care is refreshingly simple, but one rule matters. After cleaning, store the plunger either fully pushed through the chamber or completely separated from it. Never leave it parked halfway, as that keeps constant pressure on the rubber seal and degrades elasticity over months.
Rinse with warm water after each use, no soap needed on the seal. Every few weeks, give the whole unit a gentle wash with mild detergent. Replace the seal every couple of years, or sooner if you brew daily. Treated right, this is a decade-long companion.
The AeroPress Tinted Clear Coffee Maker is the rare upgrade that's smarter, better-looking, and still championship-ready. For South Africans who take coffee seriously, it's an easy yes, and we're proud to have it on the Buna shelf.
Brewing Tips to Unlock Richer Flavour
Go slightly finer than drip grind for body, or coarser for a cleaner cup. Try the inverted method to extend steep time on lighter Ethiopian roasts. Water temperature between 80-92°C lets you tune acidity versus sweetness. And always wet your paper filter, it removes any papery taste and helps it seal.
