I bought the Oxo Rapid Brewer after your post. I'm good with my aeropress most of the time, but having the plunger may be a plus for me. Thank you.
Picked up a 12oz. stainless steel tumbler at Grocery outlet to use as a 'knock box' for the spent cake. Doubles as a (travel)protector for my Kin grinder wrapped with a small cleanup towel. Enjoy!

This is the "Go" variant so they give you a full kit to travel with. Everything you see in the picture fits inside the plastic mug and the red rubber cap's only purpose is to hold it all in. The only Aeropress specific pieces you need here to make coffee are the the main plastic body, the plunger, and the filter screen. The other pieces like the coffee scoop, stirring spoon, and paper filters (albeit a custom size) are things you'll generally need for making coffee.

I like it because it's actually one of the fastest, least hassle-free ways to brew a single cup of coffee and clean up afterwards. Pour in the hot water, wait a couple minutes, push the water through, push the coffee puck into the trash, rinse and repeat.

That said, Coffee nerds like the Aeropress because it's one of the most versatile brewers available. You can do immersion brewing (like a french press), you can do percolation brewing (like a pourover/drip machine), you can apply pressure to get concentrated coffee (similar to an espresso machine), or you can can do any combination of the above and there's thousands of different aeropress recipes to experiment with.

I have an Aeropress go that I used as my daily driver until I got an OXO Rapid Brewer. It's less versatile, and harder to clean, but it doesn't require paper filters and with Lance Hedrick's "Zuppa Lungo" recipe is one of the fastest ways to brew coffee (no immersion time needed). If you do get an Aeropress for home use, it's better to wait for the full size version. This Go kit is great for frequent travelers though, even if you don't pack a grinder and scale like a true zealot, this is still going to produce way better coffee than any Hotel I've ever stayed at.

Hardcore Aeropress fan here, have a collection of every model released, and sponsored the Aeropress Movie. Today, I'd take the $35 dollars and get an Oxo Rapid Brewer. Been using these (I have 3) for both daily and travel for over a year now, and it has supplanted my espresso machines, Kalita pourovers, and Aeropresses as the most forgiving, consistent results with easy workflow and cleanup.
Same, I haven't really messed with the Aeropress since getting the OXO. The "Zuppa Lungo" recipe from Lance Hedrick is probably the fastest, most consistent method of making a single cup of coffee I've tried (and I've tried most).

I think the Aeropress does have some advantages in terms of versatility and cleanup, and the "Go" in particular makes for a great travel setup. But nowadays I just want good coffee, fast.

It's fine but it's overrated. A less sophisticated french press. I guess it's more portable, but I don't really want people to see that I'm making coffee out of this thing
After having used a french press for a decade, I got an aeropress about 20 years ago. Its used daily and makes a WAY better cup of coffee. A french press can't do crema, but the aeropress can. If mine broke and they were $500 now, you bet your behind I'd be buying one still.

I use my aeropress inverted at home and like to think of it as "filtered French press" :-).
Inverted is the only way!

At this price, just get a #2 cup Pour Over Ceramic, Coffee Dripper Ceramic Coffee Maker from amazon at 13 bucks.
The aeropress has vacuum and pressure so you can make crema. Its night and day better than pour over, french press, or a dripper.

Eh the Oxo Rapid Brewer can't make crema. Def a pass for me. Have loved my aeropress for over 20 years. 190 degree water, unbleached paper filter, inverted with a 3-5 minute steep, 150 lbs of pressure. Fricken perfect.

It's not the same, at all. I generally used a pour over for a single cup or a French press for multiple cups, and a moka pot for espresso. I got an aeropress and it's replaced the moka pot and the pour over, with the benefits of being easier to clean & use than the moka pot, or the French press, faster than all of them, and a way better cup of coffee than a pour over or a French press. I have a nice espresso machine, too, and I still prefer the aeropress. I mostly use the espresso machine for the times I want frothed milk and thereby the flavor of the coffee itself is less critical.

I have the slightly bigger version that I travel with along with a travel water kettle and hand grinder. Sure beats paying for hotel coffee in Vegas. I use the stainless filter and extraction cap so no waste. I just wipe off with toilet paper after each use.

The Go Plus is also on sale at REI here: https://www.rei.com/product/24050...lY fD_BwE

It was the only one in stock at the Brick & Mortar while we were traveling through Montana so I bought it (I forgot to pack mine for the trip). It's usually $90+ which is probably a bit over priced, but I think it's a nice upgrade for our camping trailer. Everything you need is included, and all packs into a high quality travel-mug, that even has a magnetic slider on the lid so it won't spill, and filter storage on the bottom with screw cap. Fairly premium for an Aeropress product for anyone interested.

How does the aeropress compare to the espresso machine? I mostly like espresso, not drip, but I've seen people describe aeropress as a 'hybrid' so I'm not sure what to expect for the taste profile.

About the only thing with less is a pour over, unless you just dump your grounds into a mug, pour water into it, and drink it. There are more parts are in an automatic drip machine that need to be cleaned.

Just used the Oxo Rapid Brewer and it works fine. I did get 'crema' a bit (it's not an espresso machine after all). A definate improvement over the aeropress (I have two of them). One for camping and one for my condo in the philippines. But I do like the Oxo now. Thanks Alpha.worship
