Does anyone have an aeropress?

[walterismydog]

I am a very loyal French press user, but I'm in the market for a new one. Then I saw the AeroPress. Opinions?

Hmmm
One thing I really like about mine is that I dont need filters...

I just started browsing... I would buy the Le Cruset french press...

I have an aeropress. It makes really, really good coffee. I love it!

I love that one and it's the front-runner right now. I also do not like the idea of filters, but if this thing really makes magical coffee, I kind of want it. I WANT ALL THE COFFEE THINGS.

My dh is obsessed with espresso & coffee. He travels weekly for work and brings his aero press and hand grinder with him. It makes a awesome cup of coffee.

Also, here is a review from Apartment Therapy's sister site, The Kitchn.

OK, some of the complaints are that you cannot get the coffee hot enough - do you have this problem?

[limey]

I have no problem with temperature. I use an electric tea kettle and take it off right before a full boil.

[walterismydog]

OK. It's inexpensive enough that it's worth a shot. Thanks for the info!

You can get a reusable filter for the aeropress too. I think we have the fine one? Evidently it's more like a portafilter.
