A few thoughts on the new AeroPress, both the brewer and the company. For more information:The AeroPress Clear: https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-clea...

New Hoffman video dropped. Not sure if we have any 3rd wave coffee lovers in this community. I’ve been an avid AeroPress user for about two years now and it will be interesting to see where the company goes, though it will likely not affect me as this thing feels nigh indestructible and I can likely use it for ten years with no issues.

    Unrelated to the video, but I was just (belatedly) scrolling the community suggestions thread wondering whether it was too late to suggest a coffee community – I’m happy to see that delicious beverages can be discussed here.

    I’ve had mine for close to 10 years. I did replace the rubber end, all else is doing well. I don’t see myself buying the clear or XL version any time soon.

    And when I replaced the rubber end, I realized I should have been removing it and cleaning under it all along 🤮

    Have always been curious about the filters for Aeropress, my brother owns one and it’s a tank, though the disposable filters seem annoying to refill and deal with. Are they proprietary, or is it pretty easy to find replacement filters from 3rd parties for cheap? Worried about what VC money taking over Aeropress means — it’d be like if Patagonia got sold to Blackrock.

      I’ve had my aeropress for around 5 years, and i reckon i’m about half way through the pack of paper filters that came with it. I use them until they get a hole in them (or hopefully just before), which is maybe 5-8 times.
