Aeropress was founded in 1984 by Alan Adler, a renowned inventor and retired Stanford University engineer instructor, to produce and sell his revolutionary sports equipment inventions, including the Aerobie Pro fly ring, which sets a Guinness world record for the longest throw.
In 2004, Alan began studying the coffee brewing process and analyzing coffee company designs to create a truly innovative device that would make a superior cup of coffee. At a trade fair in the coffee industry in November 2005, Aerobie debuted with its pioneering AeroPress coffee maker.
