If you like coffee, and you don't now what Aeropress is, then read about it. There are crowds of fans discussions on reddit.
This is a genius invention.
All you need for the best coffee in the world is:
1) freshly roasted coffee beans from your local roaster
2) a manual coffee grinder
3) Aeropress
The result easily beats coffee produced with a $500 bean to cup machine. And it's not just my opinion, it's a consensus. Amazing, isn't it?
Plus, it's very eas to use. There other methods to make great coffee. For example, a good espresso machine (say, Sage/Breville Bambino Plus, or a manual Flair Neo Flex). But the process of using them is much more elaborate, takes more time, and has many complicated steps. On the other side, Aeropress is very easy to use, and making fantastic coffee takes very little time and effort.
There are Aeropress world competitions, and they are making some of the best coffee in the world. And the weird thing is that you cant replicate their results at home, following their precise recipes.
Aeropress is a genius invention. So simple. And no one seems to be able to improve it. There are Delta Coffee Press, an "It's American Press" french press, they are all great, and they are definitely not better than Aeropress.

Now, the models:
---Aeropress Original in this deal - is the original model (but upgraded to polypropylene material many years ago). It is the best model. Full stop.
---Aeropress Go. This is a weird thing. It's slightly smaller (which no one is particularly happy about), and the only so-called improvement - it includes a plastic cup. LOL.
----Aeropress Clear. This is the same as original, but with Tritan material insteaf of polypropylene. It is not safer or healthier. The only so called advantage - it's transparent. LOL.
---Aeropress XL. The bigger model. Not necessary at all, as many Aeropress World Competition winners brew concentrate - and then dilute it with hot water in the cup. You can do the same and produce more coffee with the Aeropress Original, you don't need Aeropress XL.
If you like coffee - you must buy Aeropress. Even if you have a $1000 bean-to-cup machine at home, buy Aeropress and use both.

the only bad thing about Aeropress is the price: normally it costs $40, while the cost of productions is clearly much lower. There is a voucher for 10% off on their website, so the price is $36 then.
It sometimes drops to $32, but not lower (from a reputable seller; I'd rather not buy a fake copy).

However:
1) polypropylene is very well researched by now, and after all these years of research it is still considered safe
2) the best method to brew coffee in Aeropress uses 175F (79C) water; even if there is (yet not found by the scientists) some unhealthiness in polypropylene, it will probably be much less severa at this lower temperature.

it makes a great gift, because you will have to explain what it is and how to use it, and this leads to a pleasant conversation about coffee (and possible about travelling, camping, etc)
By this moment I feel a bit uncomfortable singing praises to the Aeropress, as though I was paid by the manufacturer.

They've already reduced the number of included paper filters several fold (not so much saving on the production costs, as forcing the customers to buy a pack of paper filters sooner). They've already created an "Aeropress Clear".
But all this does not change how great the original Aeropress is.
But the only good thing about it is that it is different (and makes very different coffee). Well, variety is good.
But otherwise it is inferior, as for me. And, in particular, it has much flimsier seal, which fails much quicker.

the "Aeropress Premium" will still have rubber/silicone seals, won't it?
