AeroPress Premium
AeroPress Premium
Finally, AeroPress made of glass and metal, came out. Its double-walled design should reduce heat loss.
Price: $149,95.
Overpriced wedding gift detected.
Sold at Williams Sonoma says it all. That's way overpriced. Also the amount of times I have dropped a piece of my aeropress, this would last a month, tops.
$150 and there’s still no funnel?
asking the real questions
The pricing for every single one of the new aeropress products are absolutely crazy. I would have loved an XL if it wasn't the price of three original aeropresses.
Yeah they have had MBA SKU madness takeover. They have far too much to sell these days for the simplicity of their original idea.
I love my aeropress, but this seems highly unnecessary to me. I think it’s great that I’ve had the old one for over a decade, I can chuck it in the sink or a drawer and it’s practically indestructible.
I can’t say I’ve ever once noticed my cup being cold after pressing so claims about heat loss feel suspect.
I suppose if you just want the same experience but to feel fancier while doing so and you have cash to spend on it, then go right ahead.
Heck I still chuckle when I am reminded of the aeropress XL. If folks aren’t aware the aeropress company was mostly bought out a few years back which may explain the recent burst in new fangled products.
Heat loss is related to glass, not plastic. Brewers made of glass, ceramics or metal must be preheated before brewing. For AeroPress Premium, heat loss may be not that big, but we need feedback from owners to know exactly.
Fair point, appreciate the clarification!
I only recently heard of aeropress products. Are they genuinely good? What's the difference to a French press?
I don't drink coffee, but the owner of a coffee plantation on the side of a volcano in Panama told me that it was one of the best ways to make coffee. I figure he would know.
My wife, who does love coffee, doesn't use it simply because it only makes one small cup of coffee at a time, and she likes to start the day with a big cup. She acknowledges that the taste is superior.
They're good, but I'd avoid AeroPress Clear for now, as there are crack reports on the internet. Other models are durable. Compared to French press, AeroPress produces cleaner cups because of paper filter utilization. Also, though AeroPress is an immersion brewer, it also allows percolation.
Can't say that heat loss is a big issue with my 10+ year old Aeropress. Still going strong. Although to be honest my £65 FB Marketplace Gaggia Baby gets way more use. 150 bucks sounds a bit steep for what it is.
I am happy with my cheap knockoff aeropress that I throw in my luggage bag when I travel . If I loose it, I buy a new inexpensive aeropress.
Why the hell would I want a glass aeropress?
It's for those who use AeroPress at home and are concerned about microplastics.
If I was slowly eating my aeropress I would have finished by now. My mama might have raised an idiot, but I finish my food.
Having hot water mixed with plastic is gross.
To use at home, instead of a much cheaper French press, or a similarly priced cheap espresso machine that makes coffee 100x better. Obviously /s
I see your sarcasm, but all three of these things make very different types of coffee. Even if you can't tell the difference between Aeropress and French press coffee (which probably not a large percent of people can), you can certainly tell the difference between espresso and immersion, right?
As for this thing: plastics do degrade over time, and an insulated glass body is a nice upgrade. The metal press won't contribute anything to the coffee quality, but it looks better, and probably feels nicer.
I love the look and the idea of this, but this also exactly the type of thing I would drop and break.
Not just worried about dropping, but this is something you press down on.
People generally clumsy or pressing too hard are going to have a bad time if they manage to break the glass while pressing down.
You're more likely to inadvertently press obliquely just a little too much and have the whole thing fall over, spilling hot coffee and grounds all around while possibly breaking the mug you were pressing into.
Yes definitely. I already worry about the container I'm pressing the coffee into.
Don't forget the $100 organizer. 🙄
I do the inverted aeropress method and have an accident or two. Even using it as directed method there is not way I would want to buy this because it is breakable.
Kinda want, but that price...
