爱乐压的发明
The Invention of the AeroPress
2014 — 2020，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这篇文章讲述 AeroPress 的发明经过：发明者 Alan Adler 如何把想法推进到开模量产，并让这款手动压滤咖啡器具走向大众。文中也涉及产品设计与制造细节，例如为投产投入高额注塑模具费用。
为什么经久不衰：它既是一个小发明如何落地的完整故事，又对应一款简单、快速、易清洁且出品稳定的经典咖啡器具，所以多年来反复被讨论。

实用体验：低酸度、易清洁，需配电水壶，风味介于浓缩与滴滤之间。
我不是咖啡发烧友，但偶然收到一台作礼物，可以证明它能做出好咖啡。事后才知道、希望早知道的几点：电热水壶几秒烧开水，是让 AeroPress 实用的关键配件，而且便宜；如果你喝咖啡会烧心，应尽快买一台，因为快速冲泡的咖啡酸度很低，AeroPress（或星巴克 Clover 这类快速冲泡法）可能让你舒服些；它做出的咖啡像浓缩咖啡和滴滤咖啡的混合体，你对此喜恶会决定你是否喜欢它；它还是我用过最容易清洁的厨房器具，想喝咖啡时不会有“这机器该彻底洗洗了”的焦虑。

I am not a coffee nut, but got one of these serendipitously as a present and can attest it makes a good cup of coffee. Here's some facts (maybe obvious to others) I found out after the fact that I wish I had known a long time ago: 1. If you've never owned an electric kettle, you may not know that they will boil water in mere seconds (!) and are a key part in making an Aeropress practical. (And they're cheap: http://goo.gl/8dVnP2) 2. If you ever get heartburn and drink coffee, you MUST buy one of these ASAP, it will help immensely. Fast-brewed coffees have very low acidity, so you should treat yourself with aeropress (or Starbucks Clover coffee, another fast-brewed method) if you have this problem... you will probably feel better. 3. That said, these things brew a coffee that is like a hybrid between espresso and drip coffee, so if that sounds bad/good to you, you'll feel about the coffee you get from this the same way. 4. An aeropress is the easiest to clean kitchen appliance I've ever owned. You will NOT think to yourself "boy this coffeemaker could probably use a thorough cleaning" every time you want a cup of coffee... no such anxiety with this device.
长期日常使用体验：易调节浓度、便宜豆也提升，但用久会刮花变色。
我几乎每天用 AeroPress 三年多，很喜欢。唯一问题是内部用约两年后出现划痕和变色，不知怎么还影响了味道。绝对值得买；现在是第二台，希望更耐用，否则过几年再买。我喜欢过程很手动：可给不喜欢浓咖啡的客人做淡而不苦的咖啡；不同豆子可用不同冲法。奇怪的是，超市便宜的预磨咖啡用它也好喝很多。如今我基本买超市最便宜的公平贸易豆，每杯现磨，味道很好。

I've been using an AeroPress almost every day for over 3 years, and love them. I've had only one issue with them, in that the inside has become scratched and discoloured, which somehow messes up the taste as well (after about 2 years use). A totally worth-while purchase. I'm now on my second one, hopefully this lasts longer, but if not, I'll just buy another one in a couple years. One thing I like is how manual the process is - I can make a much weaker cup of coffee for guests who don't like it so strong without it becoming bitter. For different types of coffee, I can brew it in different ways. And it's odd, but even cheap pre-ground supermarket coffee tastes hugely nicer with the AP. These days, I buy pretty much whichever the cheapest fairtrade coffeebeans the supermarket has, and grind enough for each cup, and it tastes great.
关心研磨度，并对从 3D 打印到 10 万美元注塑模具的量产跨越感兴趣。
刚下单第一台 AeroPress，想知道哪种研磨度最好？文中写道：Adler 规划好后去加州 Livermore 的 Westec Plastics，订了价值 10 万美元的模具并投产。到底怎样从 3D 打印（流形网格很容易）跨到注塑成型？

Just ordered my first AeroPress, wondering what type of grind works best? > With his plans mapped out, Adler went to Westec Plastics in Livermore, California, > ordered $100,000 worth of molds, and put the invention into production. Just how does one go about stepping up from something like 3D printing (manifold meshes [0] are easy) to something like injection molding?

反对“最好咖啡”说法，强调冲煮法各有风味和场景。
不同冲煮法味道不同：法压、手冲、AeroPress、摩卡壶各不相同。看到“能冲出世界上最好咖啡”的说法我忍不住呻吟；这些工具做出的咖啡只是不同、用途不同，无优劣。

Different brewing methods taste different. French press tastes different than a pourover. An Aeropress tastes different than a moka pot. I couldn't help but groan at the idea that a tool 'brews the best cup of coffee in the world' . The coffee the various tools produce simply taste different and they have different usecases. Not better or worse, just different.
