Very good with minor advertising issues

Makes very good coffee, very smooth. After a week of using this you will be spoiled and drip coffee will not measure up. Easy cleanup, the grounds come out as a solid "puck" that you can simply eject into the trash, then you rinse the pieces and leave them to dry (I wash mine with soap every few days). This is my go-to coffee maker. No reservations about the taste or ease of use, but I have a couple minor issues with the advertising: 1) Claims to make 1-3 cups. Unless you like your coffee very diluted, this makes 1 cup at a time. The coffee comes out very concentrated and you add hot water, like an americano, but even considering that you can make the initial brew extra strong, I have not been able to make it strong enough for even a double cup of respectable coffee. Definitely not 3 unless you like to see the bottom of your mug. I bought the bigger version for my mom (the "go" version is slightly scaled down) who likes her coffee a little less strong than I do, and she still says she only does one cup at a time. Brews a *single* cup of very good coffee. 2) Backpacking? Really? No, this is not for backpacking. It is "light" and "compact" when compared to a countertop drip coffee maker or espresso machine, but that doesn't mean it's good for backpacking. By backpacking standards it's heavy and bulky, and you need to pack out your (now wet) used grounds. Use via for backpacking, it tastes reasonably good and a fist-full barely registers on a postal scale. Even if you're a hardcore coffee snob you will need to pre-grind your beans days in advance, so it's not gonna be top shelf coffee when you're backpacking either way. If you're also bringing a hand grinder backpacking, then wow, I guess I have nothing left but to salute your dedication. In seriousness: bring whatever you want backpacking, it's your pack and your sore legs. But I see a lot of stuff marketed towards backpackers that is not appropriate as backpacking gear, and really just advertisers leaning on the naivete of newby packers who then wonder why their pack is giving them a hernia. After all, they bought all "ultra-light" backpacking knicknacks, right? I know, because I've been there. This is an excellent coffee maker and the portability is useful if you want to bring it to work or something like that, but don't buy it for your upcoming backpacking trip.

So I saw plenty of 5 star reviews here and decided to give it a try. Yes, It makes good coffee but not any better than other portable coffee brewers. First of all, It's got way too many components and felt cluttered. Secondly, it needs a special paper filter every time even though it is a coffee press. And lastly, the "lid" that's supposed to keep everything contained fits loosely and insecurely over that ugly and uncomfortable mug. I couldn't get the "press" to fit well enough over my favorite mugs. It does need to fit well since you will be pushing down on the plunger with significant force. I don't see the purpose of this portable unit. For travel, I can find brewed coffee almost anywhere. For car camping, I enjoy using my percolator. I love to watch and listen to those things percolate. For quick coffee, I use my Stanley French press that's easy to use and very easy to clean up. For on the go, I use a GSI french press mug. And for backpacking there are plenty of other smaller options like foldable pour over funnels.

Great all-in-one update to a coffee classic!

1 year ago

I received these products for free from the REI Trailblazers sampling program in exchange for my honest review. I'm sort of a coffee nerd and have used most of what's out there for fussy coffee-making techniques, including the original Aeropress. The Aeropress Go is a good re-imagining of the original without losing what made the original Aeropress great in the first place. It's simple, durable, inexpensive, and makes great coffee. I've had a lot of fun tinkering with this and learning how to make great coffee from it using different traditional and inverted recipes. The one drawback to the Aeropress I've seen is that is tends to allow coffee to drip down out of the filter during the brew, resulting in thin, sour, underextracted coffee making its way into your cup (made much worse if you use the reuseable stainless steel filter). That's greatly mitigated by not placing the plunger during the brew, or using one of thousands of enthusiast recipes one can find online. The Aeropress enthusiast community has long been experimenting with 'inverted' recipes which serve to keep coffee from draining out of the device before the coffee has had a chance to properly extract, and I wholeheartedly agree that the inverted method is the way to go to get the best full-bodied cup of coffee out of any Aeropress (especially if you're using the reuseable filter). The method is basically to pre-set the plunger and chamber together and turn them upside down, then put grounds and water in and screw the cap on. After about 4 minutes (varies by technique), flip the aeropress up onto your cup and press to push your coffee out. I was also able to review the flow control filter cap - which mimics the inverted method without inverting the Aeropress - and that's a great addition to the system since it holds your brewing coffee in until you push down on the plunger. The Go itself all packs together down into a single unit containing all the parts (including the stirrer and the scoop) for easy and simple travel. The Aeropress go makes good coffee

Travel Coffee Game-changer

4 years ago

I've used an original Aeropress for years and I love it. It's just not very compact on the road (at least not how I was doing it). The Go version is way handier to travel with. This system puts compactness above convenience, but for those of us who don't mind the procedure this is a step up in traveling coffee. I combined my Aeropress Go with a small immersion heater and a Guyot Designs Squishy Bowl to create a crude electrical kettle for travel. With access to grounds, I can keep my brewing kit in a shaving bag. I don't even miss the extra capacity of the original. Excellent product. Love it.

Camping coffee has never been this good

1 year ago

Pros: delicious cup of coffee, fast to make, easy clean up, compact, all-in-one everything you need fits in drinking cup: coffee press, stirrer, scoop, filters Cons: only makes one cup, while not heavy it is heavier than instant coffee for ultralight backpacking trips The AeroPress Go Travel Coffee Press makes a stellar cup of coffee. My primary use is for camping but I envision using this at home as well. This is game changing for me. I previously used high quality instant coffee or a french press on camping trips. The quality of the brewed coffee from the Aeropress outperforms the other methods in spades. What made the coffee so good?: *the flavor was excellent-robust without any bitterness *no coffee grinds floating around *not sludgy- didn't have the muddiness of the french press *no papery taste from the provided filters (I also made it with the steel filter and the quality was just as good) I tested the product in my kitchen before taking it camping. I used medium grind coffee and water just off the boil, one scoop of coffee and a 15 second immersion before pressing. It was so easy and made a great cup of coffee. In the future I may play around with water temperature, grind size, immersion time etc but when I wake up groggy in the morning after sleeping in a tent I'm looking for fast and easy. I didn't make espresso but may try making it in the future. Clean up: the used/pressed coffee simply pops out in a neat little brick. Very quick rinse and its ready to go again. Storage: everything fits in the cup with the lid on: it comes with a stirrer, filters, scoop, and the press itself. It is compact and doesn't take up much room It only makes one cup of coffee but it is a really good cup of coffee. I highly recommend it.

Your all-in-one package for making delicious coffe

1 year ago

Aeropress Go is a super-easy, compact, and convenient way to make delicious coffee anywhere! It all fits so neatly inside the cup. While I wouldn’t consider this an “ultralight” method of making coffee, it’s definitely doable on your average weekend backpacking trip. It really creates a delicious cup of coffee and it’s easy to use. The only negatives I see with Aeropress Go is that you can really only make one cup of coffee at a time. Also, the silicone lid seems to attract dirt because it’s slightly rubbery. Not sure what the solution for that would be, since the stretchy nature of the silicone makes for a good lid. I like having a cozy for my hot beverages and also a lid that can stay on while drinking. I may make a homemade cozy out of reflectix. Perhaps Aeropress could find a better solution for a lid that can be used while drinking and that doesn’t attract dirt.

Not for outside adventures (In my opinion)

1 year ago

Well I am torn between liking and not liking. The item made good coffee and seemed easy enough. However, I would not take this on any outside adventures. It is way too complicated to clean in backpacking conditions. Car camping yes probably fine. Hotel or travel most likely great. However when I travel I prefer to just use the nice hotel coffee or get free already made coffee in the coffee lounges. So I am torn on this product. I love love good french pressed coffee. But I would not use this unless I had access to a sink. It takes a bit of time over a machine. Doesn't work the best if in a hurry.

Excellent system

1 year ago

I received these products for free from the REI Trailblazers sampling program in exchange for my honest review. This is a great product. I just want to put up front. However, there are a few things that I think could be improved. I was sent this, the stainless steel filter, and the Flow Control Filter Cap. I'll review those separately, but will make some references to them. Overall this is a great camping/backpacking coffee maker. It makes excellent coffee, and the Flow Control Filter Cap is a great addition. Anyone that has used the AeroPress before knows that they have to invert the apparatus to keep the coffee from dripping out while it brews. The flow control filter cap prevents this, which is nice. It's nice that the whole system nests together, but there are a few improvements that could be made. First, it would be nice if AeroPress made a double wall titanium mug as an upgrade to this system. For whatever reason, REI offered this to review at the end of fall going into winter. So testing this in the cold, the plastic mug doesn't help keep the coffee warm. I pulled a neoprene sleeve off of another cup and keep that wrapped around the mug, and it helps a little but a double wall would be great. If you do get the Flow Control Filter Cap, it will not nest with the system. It's too tall itself so the red lid won't close and keep the system together. The little container that holds the filters could have a better latch/lock system. It's great that it holds a handful of filters, but be careful they don't go flying when you pull the system apart after rattling in a camp box or back pack. Also, the red lid collects a lot of dust, dirt, debris. I don't know why it just seems to hold onto stuff. Don't let these nit picky negatives dissuade you, this is a great system for any kind of camping. I just think reviews should capture the negatives as well as saying it's great.

Makes good coffee - experiment!

4 years ago

Makes good coffee with minimal fuss. Found out by accident that using two rather than one filter disk seems to give me better tasting results using the coffee I usually use in my Krupps expresso machine (gnd to #6). Your mileage may vary. Easy cleanup. Filter disks much more compact than the cone filters I was using and work better. Also discovered that it works just fine without the plunger - e.g. as a (compact) drip coffee maker. Only takes slightly longer - useful info when I take it backpacking as I could save a little weight and cleaning effort (trivial at home; less so camping) by not taking the plunger.

The BEST THING EVER

2 years ago

Much more than just a camping coffee maker! I have two, one at home and one at my office. I use it daily to make coffee and I'll never ever go back to another coffee maker again. This makes the best coffee and cleanup is even better. I spread the word at my work and now like 40 people have them. It travels well, is compact enough to go just about anywhere, and has everything you need to make the best coffee. I've carried mine up 14ers, along backcountry trails, and on countless trips. Pro tip: reuse the filters, I made a pack of 300 last 4 years by reusing filters. I can get about 7-14 cups from one filter before I toss it.

Excellent compact coffee maker

1 year ago

This is my first Aeropress and now I understand why people like the so much. Not only are they compact and easy to clean but they can make a wide variety of coffee depending on how much water or grounds you add. Brewing a single serving is a fairly simple process, for a standard cup of coffee you place a paper filter in the base, add 3/4 to 1 scoop of grounds, add some hot (185 degrees, not boiling) water filling to the highest measurement line and then stir, wait 30 seconds and plunge. Because there is pressure involved, you can add more grounds and less water to make a decent espresso, it’s not quite barista quality but it is very good. The paper filter does an excellent job of removing some of the oils and bitterness from the coffee and also makes cleaning up a bit easier. For reduced waste there is a reusable stainless steel filter you can purchase separately. Overall this is a great coffee maker for car camping and the occasional overnight backpacking trip. The size is pretty small (about the same height and a bit wider than a soda can) and it doesn’t weigh much. My only hesitation is using it for extended backpacking trips. It is pretty easy to clean but it does produce a lot of grounds waste, which if you are following Leave No Trace, will need to be gathered and packed out. For a minimal amount of money and a compact size I would recommend this coffee maker to anyone that enjoys good coffee at home or on the go. Worth every penny

the AeroPress Go Travel Coffee Press Delivers!

1 year ago

I was skeptical when I received the AeroPress Go Travel Coffee Press by REI to test and review. I anticipated making a weak, somewhat gritty cup of coffee more on par with instant than with what I brew at home. I could not have been more wrong. The AeroPress Go delivers a high quality cup of coffee in a compact and lightweight package. I am someone who enjoys multi-day backwoods hiking trips. Everything I need for the trip I am carrying with me, so space and weight in the pack are at a premium. The AeroPress Go hits the check boxes there for me. The whole operation packs down into it's own cup, using a minimum of space. And at a total of 11.4 oz for all the needed parts, the weight is manageable for all but the most strictly weight conscious ultralight backpackers. I found the AeroPress Go almost shockingly simple to use. As I mentioned all the needed parts fit into the cup. A little trial and error and I developed the best set up for using this product. I found it performed best in conjunction with the AeroPress Flow control Filter Cap. When I used just the paper or stainless steel filter, there was too much drip through. Particularly with the stainless steel filter. The water ran through so fast there was barely time to stir it, nevermind let it brew then push through. But with the Flow control cap, the water sat in the container until I pushed the plunger down to press it into the cup. If you don't use the Flow control cap, I recommend using both the stainless steel AND a paper filter. Beyond that little hiccup, it is exceedingly simple to use, even when tired from a couple rough days on the trail. It also cleans up simply as well. Remove the cap, push the plunger down to pop the spent grounds out into the trash and give everything a rinse. Pack it all back into the cup, put the rubber lid on and you are done. But what does any of that matter if the coffee isn't good, right? Well I can tell you this product delivers on that front as well. Seriously, the coffee I make with the AeroPress Go is absolutely on par with what I make at home in my distressingly expensive coffee maker. With the right filter set up, I made rich, robust coffee sitting on a rock in the New Hampshire wilderness. And as any true coffee aficionado knows, the right cup of coffee can set the tone for the whole day. The coffee from the AeroPress was delicious, free of grit and bits of grounds. When I got home I made a cup with the AeroPress and with my regular coffee maker and had my wife (an even bigger coffee fiend than I) do a taste test. She wasn't able to tell which cup was which. That is impressive. This is not just a product that produces something "good enough" to drink on the trail. The AeroPress Go produces coffee that you WANT to drink.
