AeroPress is celebrating 20 years — and we wouldn’t be here without our incredible community of coffee lovers. To mark this milestone, we’re inviting you to help tell the story of AeroPress by sharing your very first AeroPress experience.
Maybe you were brewing above the clouds on a mountaintop… or maybe it was a quiet morning in your kitchen. Wherever it happened, that first sip moment is something special, and now it could win you prizes worth over $1,000.
What Is the First Sip Story Challenge?
The First Sip Story Challenge is a worldwide contest where AeroPress fans share the memory of their very first AeroPress brew. What made you try it? What stood out in that first taste? How did the experience go?
The fun part is that you can share your story in any creative format you like:
- A quick video or vlog
- A photo or illustration
- A comic strip
- A voice memo
-
A short story or even a poem
It’s about creativity, originality, and celebrating the coffee moments that connect us all.
