Makes a great coffee

Great coffee, but expensive for the a few bits of plastic

I’m not happy because it didn’t come with a metal filter. I checked before I bought it and a question was answered that it came with one so I will have to pay over £22 to get one. Left me feeling cheated.

This has made me enjoy coffee now. I could never get it right. This is fool proof, always works, always the best cup. I recently purchased some Aeropress grind and on weekend mornings I now look forward to coffee from my Aeropress. Found out there are plenty of tricks to make more coffee. I always thought it was a two cup maker, but if you increase coffee grinds to 40ish grams you can dilute the coffee with hot water and make about 6 servings.Will never use another coffee maker.

I learned about the AeroPress through Black Rifle Coffee. I read good things about it and wanted to purchase it, but the standard size AeroPress only makes a 10oz or smaller cup. Once I found the XL version (makes up to 20oz cup), I had to try it. I am very happy with it!The first few tries using it I was a little disappointed. It seemed like the same coffee that was very "strong" in a regular coffee maker was bland in the AeroPress. But then I realized a couple of things: 1) I was not using the AeroPress correctly (see the end of the review for the method I learned), 2) once I started using it correctly, the coffee was smooth and much less acidic tasting that the "strong" brew I was making before. I am loving the AeroPress XL now. I've made a few poor over brews and some regular coffee maker brews since I started using the AeroPress just to contrast and compare and I like the AeroPress the most with pour over a close second.What I learned about the best brew I personally found using the AeroPress is from Lance Hedrick in his video titled “A Very Good Aeropress Recipe, Maybe the Best”.I heat the water and bloom the grinds for 30 seconds. Then I fill the AeroPress to the appropriate line and put the plunger in as directed. I then wait 2 minutes and then very slowly do the press. This simple process makes such a big difference.

A very nice coffee maker. The clear version is attractive, which justifies its $10 USD higher cost. Aeropress is basically a French press that is so much easier to clean and maintain that it’s a no brainer.But does the XL do anything better than the original? It’s a toss up. If you use the same amount of coffee in each to make a volume larger than the press, you need to dilute the concentrate with hot water. So far, the volume of the press doesn’t seem to matter much. The smaller one with more hot water dilution makes the same coffee as the larger one with less hot water dilution.The larger one is nice in that the final cup needs less dilution, but the dilution between the smaller and larger doesn’t seem to make much difference in quality.If you are making larger quantities, like 1L+, get the large one. For everyday single use the smaller is fine. For two or more, get the large.I am happy with both large and small.

La cafetera no parece haber sufrido daños, pero un producto que cuesta una cantidad considerable no puede llegar así.Además no trae el estuche que venía antes.Solo la caja.

Bought this for my husband & he loves it. I think it was a bit overpriced but glad he is enjoying it. He likes the size cup of coffee he gets using it.
