A few thoughts on the new AeroPress, both the brewer and the company. For more information:The AeroPress Clear: https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-clea...

New Hoffman video dropped. Not sure if we have any 3rd wave coffee lovers in this community. I’ve been an avid AeroPress user for about two years now and it will be interesting to see where the company goes, though it will likely not affect me as this thing feels nigh indestructible and I can likely use it for ten years with no issues.

    There are a few 3rd party paper filters out there but I didn’t like any I tried; off flavors, bad fit, suspect origin and materials. Plenty of 3rd party metal filter options though.

    And once upon a time saw a 3rd party reusable cloth filter, which seems like WAY too much effort to me.

      I tried a metal one, but felt like it affected the taste. It also stuck to the coffee grounds too meaning you can’t push all the used coffee grounds into the bin as easily

      Didn’t like the metal filter because I found it made the coffee grittier than a paper filter.

      Thankfully I haven’t noticed any issues with the unbleached 3rd party paper filters I got - especially since I bought a pack of 1000 lol
