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.
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 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.
$150 and there’s still no funnel?
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.
I only recently heard of aeropress products. Are they genuinely good? What’s the difference to a French press?
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.
Don’t forget the $100 organizer. 🙄
Kinda want, but that price…
