At most, I made two cups using the standard Aeropress with Hoffman’s recipe. But this Aeropress XL gives me the idea of making large batch for making iced coffee through the week.
But for the price… I think I’d still go with large clever dripper. Even though at most I could only put 450 ml in.
Anyone excited for this XL?
I can’t imagine the market for the xl is gonna be huge. It can’t really compete against proper espresso, and there’s already pour over for batch brewing (which works absolutely fine and produces arguably better results, with less hassle and cleanup. That said, I love my OG aeropress and it always comes with me when I go camping.
My spam senses are tingling.
To me, the value proposition for Aeropress has always been that it was a very inexpensive way to make an acceptable cup of coffee. Bumping the price to $70 for a plastic tube seems insane, but I guess it’s nice to have options.
imho the only new aeropress product that is different enough to warrant purchasing an additional aeropress is the travel one. the other form factors don’t significantly add anything new if you already have one. that said, if you don’t… choose the one you like!
I just got a standard, pre-nerfed Aeropress so probably not anytime soon.
That said, I’m keeping my expectation somewhat low for now
Just curious, I know the original inventor stepped down and they made the product more expensive. Did they change anything else about it?
Other than less filter paper and no filter holder, I don’t think so?
I heard somewhere (I think it was Hoffman’s vid) that they change the material used for the brewer but it doesn’t seem to affect the brew result
