As the world 🌎 starts to open up, we love that we’re seeing more travel AeroPress images from all around the world. One of our favorite travelers is @autobahncoffee whether he’s taking his AeroPress to Petra, Greece, Switzerland, Mexico, Nepal or just enjoying some day hiking in his beautiful home base of Oregon. ☕️ Makes sense that he also owns & runs a mobile coffee cafe that brings premium coffee to people in the great outdoors via a 1972 VW van. 🚙
