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).

this is in general a valid concern - many plastics are harmful, especially when in contact with food, especially with very hot food. I do share the sentiment, and always prefer stainless steel, glass, ceramics, etc, when it is practical. Unfortunately, there is no glass aeropress (and even when they release it, it will be a marketing gimmick - as there will still be a silicone seal, not just glass and steel).


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.
Agree that any coffee enthusiast should probably have one of theseā€¦ but prior to the recent sale of the company from the founder to another company, the normal price was around $32. It makes good coffee, not sure I'd say it's "better" than other brew methods, but it is convenient and easy clean up.
This will probably be the cheapest we see it going forward. The new owners are cutting costs and increasing prices.

Amazon have increased the minimum order amount, required for FREE SHIPPING, to $35. So, to get the Aeropress delivered free, you have three options:
1) to be an Amazon Prime subscriber
2) you can sign up for a 1-month free Prime trial (it's very easy to cancel)
3) add some other item costing $3.05 or more

or you can indeed buy two Aeropresses LOL

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.

I like the aeropress, but am left feeling it could be much better. I'm guessing it's patented in a way that restricts other companies from making an improved version. The seals on my regular size and go already are starting to fail after a couple months. I guess I should look into upgrading the parts.

The new management are not geniuses, unlike the Aeropress inventor and founder. I am sure there will be more stupid (but possibly profitable for them) moves by the new management.

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.

"Delter Coffee Press" is supposed to be an improvement over Aeropress.
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.

Probably still has microplasticsā€¦

French press for you then, patented in 1852 in France :-) only glass and stainless steel.

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