    For those worried about prolonged hot water contact with plastic leaching with the regular Aeropress, theres a fantastic solution I've been using with stellar results with an alternate brewing method using the original Aeropress. So simple and it's actually way more efficient than the regular way using a lot less grounds to get the same strength coffee. So simple, just boil enough water as if you were brewing to the 1.5 or 2.5 mark in the Aeropress but instead of putting it in the aeropress, just add about 1/2 to 3/4 scoop of grounds to a glass or stainless cup or 12-20 oz milk frothing pitcher and add the boiling water to the same vessel. What you're doing is brewing outside of the Aeropress in a non plastic container. The beauty of this method is you can leave the coffee brewing as long as you like and let it cool down to room temperature and get maximum extraction without bad flavors. Then after it has cooled, pour it into the Aeropress and press the cooled coffee. What you've made is a cooled down strong espresso type shot that had only a few seconds of contact time with the plastic. Now you just boil some water to add creamer to or steam some milk to dilute and bring the coffee back up to hot drinking temp. Seems to taste just as good as Brewing the regular way to me, if not better. The verdict is still out on that and I need to do more trials with various types of coffee. You can also use this method to Brew several batches in advance and store in the fridge for coffee concentrate always ready to use.

    Thank you Brian. I've heard of these before but never used one. I have a French press and an Espresso pot but my day to day go to is a 12 cup stainless steel stove top perculator. Thank you for your efforts creating content.

    I love my AeroPress too! I also press all the way down to make the coffee "puck". My Porlex grinder fits inside the plunger, so it's really compact for travel, and I get much better coffee that way, wherever I am. We have two more of the compact AeroPresses that fit inside their own mug, and those are part of our camping equipment. There's nothing better than starting the day with a great cup of coffee.

    Yes!!! If my coffee can't pour itself in my big mug, is it really coffee or just muddy looking water?🤔

    I like making it with the inverted method 😊

      Seems a bit risky to me but many do like it.
