2POUR is an Aeropress accessory that makes it possible to brew coffee into two cups at the same time. The Aeropress is a single plunger design with a single outlet.

With 2Pour, you can brew two cups of 8oz coffee at once, saving time.
Features
- Easy to use – 2Pour does not come with any special running mechanism. All you need to do is place it beneath your Aeropress like you would a regular cup.
