CROWDFUNDING NEWS – I’m a fan of coffee, and although I can’t complain about the free coffee where I work, the flavor is less than…flavorful. I’ve had my eye on various coffee presses for a while and I recently stumbled onto the Twist Press Coffee Maker from Barista & Co. Let’s check it out.
What is it?
The Twist Press Coffee Maker from Barista & Co is a coffee press that relies on a twisting action via a simple and quick twisting action.
Why do I like it?
I like simplicity, and the Twist Press Coffee Maker from Barista & Co is a coffee press that has simplicity in spades. The Twist Press, as its simple but descriptive name implies, utilizes a patented, helical, twisting mechanism to compress a pocket of air to press hot water downward through the coffee grounds. Quick and easy. Made from high-grade polypropylene and BPA-free Tritan™ to ensure it can last for years, it is also dishwasher safe. The Twist Press’s chamber can hold three extra servings of coffee grounds for travel. It also includes 100 premium filter papers.
Where can I find more info?

Might be a touch safer than Aeropress although very similar to their process, and cheaper if they stay at the $21 price point. If Aeropress is tipped over during the press hot coffee can fly out of the mug. Happened to a friend.
I have a long-lasting love affair with my Aeropress… but this looks amazing. Travel-ready with built-in storage for your grounds? I’m all in!
Looks like a twist on the popular Aeropress (I use daily). Instead of pressing down, one achieves the same thing with this using mechanical twisting pressure. This looks more cumbersome to store (with protruding handles). How is this cleaned?
