Wildly easier cleanup. You unscrew the bottom of the AeroPress and extrude the grounds directly into your garbage/compost. Much more civilized that trying to scrape wet grounds out of a French press by hand.
Precise extraction time. Even after pressing the plunger of the French press, the grounds continue to soak and extract.
Finer filter. The paper filter of the AeroPress leaves a cleaner extraction than wire mesh and also allows you to grind finer.
Cons:
A French press has much higher capacity. It's tough for me to make more than 2 servings in the AeroPress. Allegedly you can add more grounds and dilute with water after, but I usually end up brewing multiple batches if I need that much coffee.
No glass option. The AeroPress inventor stands by independently verified BPA-free results. Still, I feel safer mixing hot water with glass than any form of plasic.
The rubber plunger material of my oldest AeroPress has gotten sticky, like an old mouse or game controller, making it harder to press through the extraction chamber. My newer models don't have this issue.

The one thing the Aeropress does poorly is scale up for multiple servings. If you need to prepare coffee for 3 or 4 people every day, then a drip machine will always be easier.

That's literally it. Usually I even skip the first step and set the machine to turn on automatically. I grind and add the beans and water the night before. Every now and then I forget to do this and hate even the 1-2 minutes it takes me to do this in the morning. I like my morning routine and am the ultimate non-morning person in this respect.
I get that using this isn't that hard, and certainly no big deal later in the day, but in the morning, it's a no go for me, at least when at home. I can see it as nice while camping or traveling, if there's no coffee maker in the hotel room as is often the case especially abroad.

Cons:What about compared to a pour over? Does a Keurig not make good coffee? 🤔
Really curious why cheaper alternatives to this haven't been introduced. What's making the Chinese knockoff market respect the rules for this particular product?

Get a Scale and a grinder. I like the Timemore brand for both. Baratza Encore is good for automatic grinding and can be had for $100 during sales or refurbished.
I have one at home and at work and it's stupid easy to make this even without a scale or kettle without a thermometer.
I'm really into coffee and have all kinds of coffee equipment. Though I enjoy the hobby, it can be annoying to clean up. I found the Aeropress several years ago and it's become my favorite. It's super quick and cleans easy. Boil water to 85-90C. Measure 18g or beans medium coarse. Bloom 40g at 30s. The. Pour till it hits "4" or 270g.
Mind you, it seems like a lot of work in writing.
This has the best balance of flavor with filtered coffee. I love my pour over coffee, but this takes me less than 3m to get a mug of coffee. Highly recommended.
The "Go" in the title means for travel. Glass is not the best w weight or possibilities of shattering.
