Pros & Cons
Pros
Using the inverted brewing process, this reduces the chances of leaking as well as maximising the brewing time. I personally prefer to use the inverted method because of better brewing - but that is up to the user. G medium roast medium\fine ground.
The aeropress is excellent, a coffee game-changer! The biggest change for me is the move to polypropylene in the main body parts and the introduction of a silicone seal.
The aeropress makes an excellent cup of coffee, far better than my drip filter machine. The upsides are no residue in the bottom of the cup and the amount of time in which a good coffee can be made. The * for me are that due to the difference of press... Read More

Highlights
Quality
Getting used to only brewing a ‘shot’ and topping up with the right amount of hot water took a little practice but worth the effort
The person bought for was really pleased
I dont bother with the funnel or weird story thing
I got it on offer with the travel bag included
Shipping
This is fast and really mess free
Packaging/appearance
I’d read about how good an aeropress was so was a little sceptic to say the least
Competitiveness
Its cleaner and you dont get any bits in like when the edge of a cafetiere lifts up a little
It makes a nice smooth brew and is a little smoother than cafetiere coffee
Smoother coffee than my gaggia classic but it cannot froth the milk

And the other being how fast the water seeps through the filter when pouring in the hot water as you have to be quick with the plunger to ensure some sort of vacuum mild to slow the water percolation and maximise the brew time of water coffee
