    Once I made aeropress coffee on the train. I had a travel kettle with me, there was an electrical socket in the train, I had water, coffee, a grinder, an aeropress and my favorite thermo mug Contigo. When the coffee was ready, a guide had just arrived at the train compartment. So I poured it into a cup for him to drink a good quality coffee during his service and not the capsule one from George Clooney. 8^)

    I have 4 aeropresses, my first one has heavy score marks on the inside from when it was pressed, I thought it was a design flaw?
    Got a blue one and gold.
    Best thing I've ever got with it is the 13 micron stainless steel filter, stopped using the paper filters years ago. Do yourself a favour and buy one. Works very well.

      I bought my Aeropress in 2014-15, the one with the beige lettering. After almost daily use, I had to retire it in 2019 bc it leeched an off rancid taste to my coffee. The rubber end had also gotten incredibly hard to plunge. Mine also had a bunch of marks on the inside of the chamber. The FAQ section of the site says old models had ridges on the outside plunger that unintentionally caused the marks, but they have since gotten rid of it and state it shouldn’t be a problem now. Who knows.

      @@slalomie I'm sorry, I also bought my model with gold markings in 2017, they wear out quickly. My rubber tip is already hard and I do not make coffee using the inverted method, the gum is too narrow .. this coffee brewing has become too risky (coffee spills out). The classic method is no pressure, the rubber is hard and narrow. This is the moment when you need to change the equipment to a new one, I do not know if the new AeroPress has a different rubber that will not become dysfunctional after 3-4 years?

    AeroPress regular or the AeroPress Go are both too bulky to take pack packing, or bike packing. A backpack or a Pannier only has so much room, and the AeroPress takes up valuable space that other things you might need should be. In addition to space, it weighs more than a real multi day backpacker or bike packer who closely watches the weight of stuff they carry. Ask me how I know! Size and weight killed it for me, instead I went with GSI Outdoors Ultralight Java Drip, so I can take any coffee I want; some backpackers and bike packers take instant coffee instead, I can't stand the taste of instant so I don't bother.

    Try a Bulletproof coffee made with a Aeropress coffee.

    Best to use a blender, but a hand blender will work in a pinch.
    Also, the best coffee I've found is from, don't hate me, Alex Jones.
    The Organic Reichi mushroom immune system coffee is awesome.
    Expensive though. Ends up being about $40 for a 1lb bag shipped to Vancouver.
