AeroPress coffee maker
Anyone have experience with the AeroPress coffee maker? What size cup does it produce? I don't always want to make a travel mug or larger amount with the Cuisinart.

I have an AeroPress and enjoy it a lot, but it definitely produces a small cup. Typically around 6 oz. But, it's a concentrated cup, so you can add hot water to get a standard 8 oz cup of "normal" strength coffee. I like my coffee strong, so I don't usually add water.

Have one and use it a fair amount. If you put a decent amount of coffee in it and fill it to the top, with a little top up water it will make a strong 16oz cup.

I use it at home on rare occasions when I want another cup, but not to make a pot. Mainly use it camping or travelling.

I'm using an AeroPress. I do the initial pour, stir, then top it off, press. This fills my 14 oz. mug mostly full.

As others said: You can experiment with making your brew in the AP stronger, then topping off with hot water to get the quantity and strength where you want.

N.B.: You have to put a fair amount of ground coffee in the press if you don't want the water to just run right through it. And it has to be fairly finely-ground. Again: Trick is, if that makes the coffee too strong, use less water in the brew and add hot water to the cup/mug, afterward.
