Anyone tried both the oxo and aero to see which is better? I do like the lack of filter need with oxo because it uses a stainless steel filter - but then again if it lets some small coffee ground thru then to me that would be disgusting to drink. Wth is the coffee soup option mentioned by op? 😂
The aero press is less fiddly in some ways, very basic but tried and true with a million "recipes" and brew guides out there. The oxo is the new hotness, trendy and popular currently and in my opinion it is a more capable brewer. I have both but if I could only keep one as a pretty dedicated coffee dork it would be the oxo, however if I had to recommend one or the other to a new coffee hobbyist just getting into it, it would be the faithful aero press.
The oxo does have a stainless steel filter, but basically everyone uses aero press filters in the oxo, or cuts other filter papers to size. Metal filters suck for actually filtering out fine particles and since this brewer excels in brewing espresso-like strong small cups, you tend to grind pretty fine which exacerbates all those issues.
The aero press is the bombproof, foolproof, simple man's brewer that makes consistently good coffee. Its literally 3 pieces of plastic. The oxo is the more capable, but likely less reliable and more "complex" brewer. It has pieces that screw together, it has a small, inaccessible gasket that will undoubtedly die eventually, and the plastic generally feels more susceptible to damage if you were to drop it or crush it while traveling.
Aeropress user since they were available, have a collection of all of the various models released over the years, and a few more since Alan sold the division. So one could say I'm an Aeropress fanboy.
I now have two of these Rapid brewers, and use them daily. They are more forgiving of grind than even Aeropress, which was already off-the-hook forgiving, more forgiving of steep times, and even water temperatures. That is to say if you stick to the basics this yields dynamite cups consistently, better than manual pourover and Aeropress.
There's still some room for grind adjustment, grind dose, water dose, steep, but your changes will more subtle in the cup. It somehow finds the best profile you give it, and delivers.
The current soup craze was essentially started by the aeropress, since it delivers similar results to the Rapid Brewer, so some users have been souping much longer than it was called that, but no worries, coffee fads come and go. Speaking of which, if you like cold brew, this thing rocks cold brew like no other brewer, makes cold brew I can actually drink. Double your dose, run cold water through it, bingo! Best cold brew ever.
This brewer and Kin K6 grinder, pry from my cold dead hands.

I've already got an aeropress, but will be interesting to see how this compares.
