#remixability

Aeropress strips away much of the obfuscation of coffee-making, allowing for an amazingly customizable cup of coffee. It’s inventor, Alan Alder, had a long history of toy design, and this play seems to be, in part, what makes the Aeropress such a brilliant item. Its modularity allows us to disassemble and reassemble the system of coffee. It gives us just enough degrees of freedom within a ruleset that allows us to experiment. It allows us to play with the system of making coffee.

Se trata de una pieza que encuentra un afortunado lugar en las discusiones de la cultura abierta, la democratización de los saberes, la cultura del remix y una realidad comunicacional desbordada que rebasa todo intento de conceptualización.
