and even though I’m tired, things are all right!

      Love mine. Especially for cleanup and time it takes to brew. Very happy with it. I have a French Press and a ceramic filter I use once in a while, but if it’s just me the aero press wins over.

        Same reasons why I ditched my French Press. Moka Pot can be messy and seems like a more involved process. Aeropress is such an easier and cleaner process.

          Making a batch of coffee with the moka pot is really easy, but making good coffee is really tricky though. You have to know exactly what you’re doing or you’ll get mediocre or even bad coffee out of it .

          The aeropress is a very easy, forgiving and robust method, and messing it up would require some extraordinary conditions. Making small mistakes here and there won’t be a big deal.

      i love mine but i want to ditch pressure+heat in plastic. wondering if moka is the way to go, but really just wish they made aeropress with other materials!

        What’s the problem with pressure+heat? In these kinds or pressures and temperatures, the plastic appears to be strong enough to handle it well enough.

          it’s strong enough to, but i don’t trust plastic not to leach out nasties into my coffee in those conditions, plus it seems to retain grossness :(

                Seems to me that the results are inconclusive at the moment, which only means that the potential effect can’t be noticed as easily as the effects of asbestos, DDT, smoking or radiation. That doesn’t mean that the effect isn’t there. It may well exist, but it certainly isn’t very strong, because otherwise we would have noticed it already and the debate would have been over decades ago. But since we can’t rule it out at this point, I really don’t blame anyone from being a bit cautious.

                As a side note, you would get lots of clicks for your article if you were say that “we’re all going to die because of plastic”, but it wouldn’t be a very defendable position. Fortunately for the author, there is a way to make the reader think that without explicitly saying anything like it. By using clever words like “likely”, “associated”, “possibly”, “may be”, “in vitro”, “could disrupt”, “linked to”, “animal studies” etc. you can sort of say things without actually saying anything. You can also make the reader feel informed without actually conveying much information at all.

      would recommend it to everyone. I don’t use it every day, but there are a million and one ways to brew with it, it’s very handy for traveling, it’s super easy.

      I use it particularly for when I’m at the end of a bag of coffee and don’t have enough left to do a French Press or a pour-over – I have a couple of Aeropress recipes that use 10-12 grams.
