AeroPressGo Plus, Small Portable Coffee Maker for Travel & Camping - 3 In 1 Brew Method Combines French Press, Pourover, Espresso, Full Bodied Coffee without Bitterness, Coffee Press Kit - Black

Invented for a single cup of coffee - this coffee maker has quite a following and even world championship contests. After getting "into" coffee (yes, I've been drinking and enjoying coffee for years but never really "into" it) my wife wanted an espresso machine and down the coffee rabbit hole I went. Normally, I may brew 4-8 cups of coffee in our automatic drip coffee maker - sometimes it would be only me that drank any that morning and we'd waste half a pot regularly. With coffee bean prices going up and having access to a decent grinder I looked at other ways to make my morning "grog". Now I'm just a beginner at the AeroPress (only a few short weeks) but I've YET to make a bad cup of coffee with it. Even if you factor in "beginner's luck" or closely following directions/recipes found on YouTube (weighing coffee and water, checking temperature, applying the correct amount of pressure) which I'm not - I still seem to get great coffee time and time again. I'm no barista, in fact, until about a month ago I don't think I could have spelled barista - that doesn't mean I haven't been able to appreciate good coffee - I've had very good coffee here in the US in nice Italian restaurants and great Italian espresso in Italy (though it's been a few years). The AeroPress is not going to make (likely) the best cup of coffee you've ever had but I'm willing to bet it will not make the worst either (even if you've gone "rogue" and completely ignored any AeroPress recipe or technique).Before I explain why I think the Travel AeroPress is "best" AeroPress let me share what my experience is with the directions that come along with the coffee maker (regardless of model). Other's will likely agree and it's almost a theme for reviews or how-to videos that you should only read the directions that come with the AeroPress on the way to trash can / recycle bin where they should be deposited. Some may claim that these instructions are just plain wrong - others claim that they're ambiguous but could be followed with some success. When I attempted to follow the directions I made good coffee but just not what most of us would consider to be a "cup" (five or six ounces or more) of coffee. I won't go into detail about how I make mine today since there's hundreds if not thousands of videos on social media that are great in showing how to make a single, double or even three cups at a time - the inventor has presentations on making a cup and talks about some of the history and evolution of the device - worth watching for sure.So why do I think the Travel AeroPress is "best" AeroPress? Well for a few reasons. First if you plan to "take it with you" either to work, school (college/university) it's designed to be contained in one items - technically you do not need a cup or mug but unless you plan to brew "inverted" you may need something to pour your water into (hint the inner cylinder / plunger holds what I think is a perfect amount of water if you're using volume not weight measurements) freeing up the cup to make the coffee in the non-"inverted" way. If you're not traveling or bringing your AeroPress with you to work/school etc. I still think the Travel AeroPress is the way to go simply because it stores away in itself - the non-travel version really doesn't take up a lot of space but if your kitchen is like mine parts and accessories get lost and if I can keep things together there's far less of a chance I'll loose things. All put together the coffee maker is about the size of one of those extra large mugs that typically says "World's Greatest Dad" or "I'm not a crazy cat lady". I also find the cup to be very handy in pouring hot water (to wet the filter paper - if you're in to that) along with a place to wash/rinse the AeroPress itself if you are away from a sink - the edges of the included cup make pouring work compared to the normal round edges of a "normal cup or mug" - no tendency to spill down the front and make additional mess. The stir is a nice design and again it stores away inside the plunger along with the scoop. The filter paper container is also nice - even if you make a few cups a day you'll likely not have to re-stock the travel container very often (maybe on the weekend check to see if you're getting low).So I do not believe you can go "wrong" with any AeroPress models - the thing works great - if the "regular" model was 1/2 the price I'd probably have to "opt" for that but the difference in price between the two models is only a few dollars and for me at least I think the compact, store inside itself design is worth it."Size Note" - the original AeroPress is a tad bit larger (the cylinder is taller so more volume) - making a larger cup (or two smaller ones) in one press might be the deciding factor.Enjoy your coffee!

My espresso machine died and a friend recommended this so easy and compact. I take it with me on all my trips. It provides a great, consistent cup of coffee every time.

I love this to-go system. I take it to the office with me to make my own cup of coffee on my in-office days. Pro tip - if you travel with this, take the magnetic sliding lid lock off and store it in the canister with the scoop and stir stick. It’s magnetic so it can come off the lid, and when you travel with it you could lose it. I actually lost the slider, contacted Aero Press about buying a replacement slider, and the company replaced it for me for free! But I am going to store it in the canister going forward because I don’t know how many freebies I can get like that. Great customer service as always though.

Love this thing for my motorcycle camping. compact and travels well. wonderful coffee daily. Easy to use and clean up.

Value for money it’s perfect for an on the go cup of coffee or a camping set up. Would appreciate a metal cup rather than a plastic one. Super easy to clean, comes with a bunch of paper filters. Makes a good solid cup of coffee , I just wish it was slightly bigger size cause of my caffeine addiction. I think I will be buying the XL for home & work and saving this one for my camping trips.

Aún no he hecho café, pero me llegó tal y como se especifica. Excelente servicio de Amazon, no tan solo en este producto, sino en general.

For most people, you can skip the Aeropress and get the Go. It does almost everything the Aeropress does, except better.What is Aeropress? It's an incredibly quick way to make delicious coffee. Pop in a filter, grind whatever beans you want, mix some freshly boiled water, press, and done. If you grind your beans while your water is boiling, you can go from taking the Aeropress out of your cupboard or bag to having it rinsed off and put back in under a minute. The flavor is better than any regular coffee machine. If the unit seems small, the trick is that you use it to press out a strong coffee concentrate. Add hot water to make an Americano, or milk for a latte, ice for a cold coffee, it's your choice.What is Aeropress Go? The inventor of Aeropress redesigned the unit so it fits inside its own travel cup. If you have a portable grinder (or bagged coffee) and a source of hot water, this is all you need to make and drink coffee. Incredibly portable, quick, and delicious. It may be the best portable coffee solution in the world. The travel filter holder keeps 20 filters at hand, which is plenty most business trips or weekend getaways.What do you get?-15oz. Travel cup. You can drink from it, or use it to plunge your concentrate then decant into whatever mug you like. I like to use the mug anyway, as the pour cools the coffee so it's ready to drink that little bit faster.-Silicone lid to hold everything inside the cup.-Plunger unit. Just like the Aeropress, except makes 1-3 cups instead of the larger unit's 4-cup capacity.-Twist-off filter cap.-Travel filter holder - holds about 20 paper filters for travel usage.-350 paper filters.-Travel scoop, which fits inside the plunger to store.-Folding swizzle stick, which also fits inside the plunger to store.-Instructions.Detailed Aeropress instructions: A lot of people talk about complicated "recipes" to make Aeropress. Trust me, the method on the instructions is fine for most people. Take a filter from the holder, put it into the filter cap, twist it onto the plunger. Optionally, rinse the filter if you can't stand paper flavor (I can't tell a difference). Add one heaping scoop of freshly ground beans. Normal fine-drip coarseness is okay. Pour in water up to the "1" mark, and stir continuously for about 10 seconds. Using just the weight of your arm, press the coffee until the plunger stops (press any harder and you just compress the coffee). Over your garbage can or compost, twist off the filter cap, then press the plunger all the way to eject the puck of spent coffee. Rinse all parts. You're done. This honestly takes longer to describe than it takes to make coffee. At this point you can hide everything back in the travel mug, and you're good to go. For a classic American coffee, dilute the concentrate you made with hot water. Sip your delicious coffee, and remember- cleanup is already done.Not sold yet? The only reason not to get an Aeropress is if you always drink a whole pot of coffee, or if you have a proper cappuccino machine at home. Even then, the Aeropress and especially the Go are great for travel. Most of the complaints I see about Aeropress are from people who didn't bother to read the instructions. There's a famous online reviewer who didn't realize the plunger makes concentrate, so he was trying to pour a whole mug of water in the chamber! Honestly, just follow the instructions.Overall: The perfect way to make 1-3 cups of coffee at a time, at home or on the go. Uses less paper than a drip machine due to the smaller filters, and makes better coffee since you control the temperature. Fast, easy, and as delicious as anything you're going to get short of a pour-over or an expensive espresso machine. I'm using the Go as my daily driver now just to save some shelf space. I like using the travel mug to decant my coffee, which cools it just that tiny bit to help me get my first sip. Anytime I travel, the Aeropress is the instant cure for bad coffee machines in hotel rooms. So long as I can boil water, I can have top-quality coffee. And yes - people have even used the Aeropress on an airplane by requesting hot water.

I was skeptical but after using the AeroPress, it makes an exceptional cup of coffee! Very easy to use. No bitterness to the coffee. Even works on super fine espresso powder. Highly recommend.
