Finally, AeroPress made of glass and metal, came out. Its double-walled design should reduce heat loss.
Price: $149,95.
The rubber seal part is the first part to go and itβs unchanged on this new glass version.
Huh. Iβve had mine for over a decade; granted, it only for heavy use for a few months when I first got it, and about once a week since, and the rubber gasket is fine. I have no doubt that youβre right; gaskets almost always require semi-regular replacement; I have to replace the gaskets in my espresso machine every 2-3 years, and boy is that a chore. Those are doing far heavier duty than the Aeropress gasket, so Iβd expect it to last longer. How fast did yourβs fail?
I donβt think theyβre saying it failed. Theyβre saying that it will fail long before the body ever does.
Oh. But, the glass isnβt for longevity. Itβs to provide insulation and prevent the plastic from (imperceptively) breaking down and leaking microplastics into your coffee. I didnβt mean the plastic would fail. In fact, Iβd expect the plastic to last longer than the glass, just by the sheer probability of accidents over the lifetime of the device.
