AeroPress Coffee Maker

The AeroPress is a world-renowned manual coffee brewer invented in 2005 by Alan Adler, an American engineer and Stanford University lecturer. Adler originally founded the company as Aerobie, Inc. in 1984 to manufacture high-performance aerodynamic toys like the record-breaking Aerobie flying ring. The commercial success of the AeroPress coffee maker eventually led the company to sell its toy line to Spin Master in 2017 and rebrand itself as AeroPress, Inc. to focus entirely on specialty coffee equipment.

Today, the brand is under the majority ownership of Tiny Ltd. (formerly Tiny Capital), a Canadian holding company based in Victoria, British Columbia, which acquired a controlling stake in 2021. Despite this change in ownership, the brand maintains its headquarters in Palo Alto, California. A key point of pride for the brand is its manufacturing heritage: all AeroPress brewers and their components continue to be manufactured in the United States, specifically in facilities located in the San Francisco Bay Area and Woodstock, Illinois. This local production ensures rigorous quality control and adheres to the founder's original design standards.
