Two methods one tool
The first with the filter facing down allowing the coffee to percolate. The second, called inverted, requires to be infused by turning the instrument with the filter upwards.
Aeropress
Born in 2005 from the mind of Alan Adler, Aeropress is maybe the youngest coffee extraction method. It is composed by a cylindrical section with two filters - one in plastic and a disposable paper one - plus a second section with a rubbery seal useful to help the pressure to push during the extraction.

The ultimate go-anywhere brewing solution
1
The Aeropress consists of a brew chamber with two filters - a plastic one and one made of disposable paper - and a second part with a rubber seal (like a syringe) which is used to create pressure.
2
Heat the water between 92°C – 96°C degrees.
3
Place your AeroPress paper filter into the plastic filter cap.
4
Wet the coffee filter with hot water to get rid of paper taste and to make the filter attach to its holder.
5
Install the filter at the bottom of the Aeropress.
6
Finely grind your coffee beans ( Moka pot's grinding level is also fine).
7
Add ground coffee to brew chamber.
8
Fill the brew chamber with 200g of hot water.
9
Wait 1 minute and 30 seconds and then gently stir the beverage.
10
Place the plunger into the top of the brew chamber to create a seal so the coffee will not drip into the mug (like a syringe for injections).
11
Slowly start to press down the plunger to force the brew into the mug.
12
Push down the plunger until the end of the brew chamber so the mug is completely full.
