Outdoorsy type? Love coffee? This is for you!

The Aerobie is a coffee maker that can be right there with you when the sun rises outside your cozy tent in the wilderness. Speaking as someone who hikes and backpacks in the beautiful Northwest, I can say that I enjoy going somewhere now and then where there is not one single Starbucks in the vicinity.

On the other hand, a good bold cup of coffee would be nice.

Their website claims this is a coffee and espresso maker, but from what I've read in reviews, it is not an espresso maker. I mean, does it look like an espresso maker?

If you have already given your favorite hiker a copy of Driven to Espresso, this would be a great Christmas gift. And if you haven't already given him or her a copy of Driven to Espresso, I think you should get that instead.
