AeroPress Go Coffee Press

I purchased this for an upcoming cruise (that buffet coffee is just awful). I am so impressed with this little device. Now I am relatively new to coffee and would consider myself a fairly standard coffee drinker, albeit with a developing palette that appreciates a good brew. What I like about this is how easy it is to use and moreover how easy it is to clean. It really does produce an amazing cup of coffee, quickly and without any mess. It’s so portable that it now lives in my work bag having made its successful debut at my desk. No longer shall I suffer cheap work coffee now I have my magic Aeropress. For those of you, like me that wondered if this would be much different to your standard French press - it is. Put simply, the coffee you get out of this, even with the same grinds is far superior and less bitter thanks to the pressure and filters (which are dirt cheap). It’s also far easy to clean. The only issue I can see is the go version really is a single serve device, but because you can make your brew so quickly this really isn’t an issue in my opinion. Far from just being used on the cruise, this press will be part of my daily routine as I move around with work. Thumbs up!

Sometimes when you buy something you just know straight away by the look and feel. This item is quality and for ease of use and of course what we really want is the ability to make great coffee at a reasonable price. I have researched coffee machines and pods etc etc and they are all a faff. Who doesn't know someone who hasn't given away a worktop coffee machine to a family member or friend, they might not still be a friend after being given one of those. This aeropress go covers all bases, portable and easy to store. The filters are a breeze to use and cost peanuts. The advert is wrong you don't get 350 filters more like 30. But the seller sorted that problem within 3 days, 5 stars to them. In only 1 week of owning this aeropress go two of my friends have bought one. Register the item on arrival and you get two years free guarantee so can't be bad. I also cannot see what will break though. This is a genuine review I am not one of these vine merchants I just love good coffee on a budget. I live very near to the beach so a small flask of hot water, the aeropress loaded with filter and coffee. Happy days ahead. Don't hesitate at the price it is well worth it. Update after two weeks. My coffee consumption has gone from 3 to 6 a day and all because of this great little coffee maker. Tea is out the window now. I tested the metal filter over the paper filters. Not worth it personally as the great thing about the aeropress is the cleaning. Push the coffee into the cup. Then remove the plastic filter holder. Push out coffee and used filter straight into the bin and rinse. All sorted ready for another brew. I am off to make another one now enjoy.

Quick and easy way to make good coffee. Bought this as I travel alot and not the biggest fan of coffee pods in some of the sites I visit. I had heard of aero press before and when I saw there was a travel version I thought I would give it a go. It packs up very small and comes with a good amount of filters to get you started. In terms of ease of use, it's very straightforward to put it together and if you need there straight videos on their YouTube channel. Within a few minutes you have a good coffee and rinsed in the sink and packed away. The size was one of the major elements for me it weighs hardly anything so would be perfect if youre camping or hiking as it doesn't take much space either. As it's made of plastic I can't speak to it's life span but had it several months now and no problem. Have even started using it at home as easier to clean than my machine All in great value for money and no unnecessary functionality

Had my first cup of coffee from this little press today and am totally impressed. I really can’t fault it. It’s the best system I’ve found for making a single mug of coffee. I bought this to use in my caravan and its compact size is perfect for the job. Also, as I heat my water on gas, I shall be able to use it when I’m off grid as well as on hook-up. I’m still experimenting with the brew time. I pushed it more out less straight through today, but will probably leave it to brew for a minute before pressing next time. Not only is it the most convenient to make the coffee, but cleaning couldn’t be quicker or easier. I love how the grounds just plop out in a thick wheel when you push the plunger further through. Might even get one to keep in the house!

I purchased this to be able to make decent coffee on the go, and on the whole, I'd say it lives up to that. Operates identically to a standard Aeropress which is both good and bad - you can use the same filter papers for example, but if you are frustrated by things like the coffee dripping through whilst brewing then that's the same here - so I'll try to keep comments to things unique to the Go. Overall it is a neat and well thought out design. A bit like those nesting dolls you can buy, everything slots inside each other so that you can carry the entire brew-kit in one hand-held container. In total you have the Aeropress itself, a folding stirrer, scoop and a clam-shell holder for some papers. The outer shell is the mug and there is a flexible cover that goes over the top to hold everything in place during transport. Note that the cover is there purely to hold things in place for transport - it is not super watertight so don't have visions of using it to transport a full mug of coffee in your bag! Couple of small design tweaks would make it even better: First up is that when packing down the tube it is not possible to screw the filter holder back on for storage (the plunger protrudes too far). There's a fair bit of juggling to do when packing away (scoop + stirrer go in plunger first, then that in to mug, flip everything over, filter holder + clam-shell balanced on top, then lid) and everything is very lose until that lid is on. Being able to screw the filter holder in place would be one less bit to juggle and something that could be solved by altering the length of one of the components by just a few millimetres. As you're travelling light (kind of the purpose of the Go) the chances are you aren't going to be carrying things like scales or measuring jugs with you. Filling the scoop is fine (as it is essentially a measuring spoon) as is filling the plunger (has the usual marks on the side) however there is no equivalent on the (actually pretty large) mug. This means it is total guess work as to how much water to top your shot up with. A couple of indicators corresponding to single or double shots would be easy to implement and go a long way. One more thing to be aware of, which I'd class a personal preference rather than an issue per se, is that the lid does a pretty good job at keeping moisture in (although as already mentioned it is not for masses of water). This can be a good thing as, if things aren't bone-dry after you wash them up and pack them away, things in your bag don't get wet. However, it does mean that if anything is a little wet (such as the hard to dry filter holder) when put away everything else gets damp when stored. Not a huge problem except for the scoop as trying to get coffee out of the bag with a wet spoon is never a good idea. So make you you either thoroughly dry stuff or, as I do, store the scoop in the coffee bag (which starts to destroy the one-in-all ethos but hey-ho). Overall, yes, I would definitely recommend this for people that want to brew on the go/Go. Allowing the filter holder to be parked in transit, plus adding markings to the mug, would make it nearly perfect. Oh, and if an enterprising third-party were to make a 'breathable' lid then you'd have at least one customer :)

I had a friend who had one of these and I already know it was great. These are the things I love about it: 1) a good coffee ground will be delicious. You have total freedom to control the water temperature and preparation time, as it is entirely manual; 2) I love how easy it is to dispose of the used coffee. You just pop the compressed ground in the garbage bin and clean the rest; and 3) It is great to prepare a coffee while socializing. Everyone loves it and the preparation process, even those who usually say they don't like to drink coffee. I consider the price a little bit high, but it delivers a great experience and proportional quality. I recently moved and couldn't find a good coffee machine nearby. This one was perfect.

This is a great piece of kit! Everything can be stored inside the travel cup provided. Very easy to use, you can literally throw it in a bag and take it anywhere you want really. There’s no mess,no gritty coffee bits in your coffee. It’s a bit like a portable french press.

I've bought AeroPress for people in the past as gifts when they first appeared on the scene but never had one myself amongst the variety of ways I have to satiate my addiction. I had a holiday to Spain booked and couldn't find out if there was a coffee machine for the local beans I was going to pick up there.... what to do, oh what to do. Enter the AeroPress GO I have to say this things is now a daily driver, it's getting used for brewing different beans that aren't in my day to day B2C machine. I enjoy a variety of beans and like to switch it up and this does this trick, paired with my hand grinder it's now doing office duty each week too. It's so simple to use, feels very well made and it's not bad for the money. I would say it could be a tad cheaper but if you like coffee you already know that it's not a cheap game. If you camp, like fresh coffee in the office, like to switch beans regularly, do any sort of travelling or just want an ew way to brew I'd recommend it.
