Prismo is great for brewing espresso-style coffee, but did you know it also opens up a whole new world of recipes and coffee nerding? You can even switch up your regular ol’ coffee routine by using Prismo for a full immersion brew. How is this different than normal AeroPress® coffee using the inversion method you ask?



With just the AeroPress® Coffee Maker, you can brew immersion coffee by using the plunger as a seal and inverting your coffee maker. While this is effective–and not too tricky to master–with Prismo, you can ditch the flip and brew immersion right into a mug.



One of Prismo’s coffee superpowers is its “No Drip Seal”. Prismo creates a perfect seal inside the AeroPress® chamber, so once you load in your coffee and grinds, there’s no worries about coffee leaking out the bottom. Play with different grind sizes and immersion times to coax out the best flavor from your favorite beans. Plus, once your coffee is done, when you press through Prismo’s Pressure Actuated Valve, the coffee is aerated as it passes through. Resulting in less bitterness and a smoother, creamier cup.
