Our Story
Our story
Our company was founded in 1984 as Aerobie, Inc. by inventor and retired Stanford University engineering instructor Alan Adler. For many years we 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 we sold the Aerobie sport toy line and became AeroPress, Inc. Smart design and creativity have always been the heart of what we do, and along with our customers, partners, and the World AeroPress Championship, we are now squarely focused on inspiring even more coffee lovers around the world to revolutionize their coffee routine!
