This lightning-fast cold-brew coffee method is a simple—and portable—way to caffeinate on the road. Aeropress brewers are inexpensive, lightweight, and easy-to-clean, and can be used to make either hot or cold espresso-strength coffee in a matter of minutes. Frequent travelers (including our editors) keep Aeropresses in their suitcases and glove compartments, but the mighty little coffee maker is also a welcome addition to any small kitchen. Brew into a mug, or extract coffee directly over ice into a mason jar or travel mug, then shake with cocoa and mint for a nearly-instant road-trip iced mocha.
