As another user said, you don't need all the extra stuff. Most people just press over a mug at home, so the parts are the two-piece plunger and filter cap. I prefer a stainless filter disc because I like more oils in my coffee.
IMO, the Aeropress is great for what it is. I find it easier to clean than a French press, though it really only makes one serving at a time. You're pouring very hot water into plastic, so some folks may not be a fan of that. Years ago, the Aeropress could be had pretty regularly for $15, and that's what I paid. I'm not sure I'd pay $35 for this kit unless you find real value in those extra pieces. You can probably find a barely used unit on Marketplace for $15 or so, since it seems the Aeropress is a gadget a lot of people think they want and quickly discover they don't use.
For those unaware but actually curious to learn, a French press is an immersion brewing method while an aero press is a hybrid of immersion and percolation. Most pour over methods would be just percolation. The combination of immersion and percolation makes the aeropress almost fool proof, and is the reason it has the reputation that it has as a great brewer.

I use it the reverse way (grounds go into tube, pour water in, let it steep, then put the filter and screwcap on. The turn it over onto your mug and press.
Once done, just flip it back over, and in a few minutes you press out the now-cooled coffee puck into the garbage.
It's really so simple, and the coffee is great. Yes, you need to learn how to use it, but after 1-2 times you should get the knack.
The Aeropress is also actually a bit of an espresso hybrid as well, because the pressing process in its vacuum creates a few atmosphere of pressure. 👍
It's actually super simple, all you really need is the vessel, filter, and plunger. Rest is basically a cup, a spoon, etc.
Brew process is: add filter, screw on cap, add coffee, pour water, then plunge. Some variants in terms of recipes etc, but that's basically it. Ideally you have a kitchen scale too, but if that sounds complicated, stick to volume based recipes, you just won't have the most consistent brewing.
