What’s the difference between AeroPress and AeroPress Go?
The AeroPress Go is a smaller and more compact version of the original table-top coffee maker. The Go is an inch shorter and slightly narrower than the original, which does make it good for travelling, but also means that it brews slightly less coffee. The AeroPress Go has a slightly smaller chamber, up to about 8 oz (236 ml). The AeroPress Go Plus has a bigger brewing chamber. It can brew up to about 10 oz (295 ml) of coffee. In practical terms, that 20–25% increase in capacity means you can press a larger cup in one go with the Go Plus.Aeropress for two: can you make multiple servings with an aeropress coffee maker? Yes, you can make up to three 8 oz. American style coffee at a time with an aeropress original, aeropress clear, or aeropress go by brewing espresso style.Aeropress can make top-quality coffee, if you use good beans and a semi-decent burr grinder (even sub-$100 grinder will make great coffee). Nespresso will make drinkable but not good espresso. Of all the pod-based machines, nespresso is by far the best for coffee, but it still isn’t amazing.Cold Brew on the Go. The Instant Cold Brew with AeroPress Go Plus isn’t just a quick fix; it’s a celebration of convenience and flavor. It brings the smooth, rich taste of traditional cold brew to your cup in record time, making it the perfect choice for adventurous lifestyles without compromising on quality.
Is AeroPress Go worth it?
It’s not the cheapest coffee maker on this list, but due to its versatility and capability to brew various styles and strengths of coffee, we believe it’s worth the investment. Although we prefer using our own mug, the new Aeropress Go Plus provides the same excellent functionality, now with an insulated vessel. As a coffee enthusiast (AKA coffee snob) the AeroPress Go has quickly become one of my favorite ways to brew a quick and easy cup of coffee. The AeroPress coffee maker’s relative ease of use combined with its ability to make a strong espresso-like cup of coffee is what initially drew me into the AeroPress ecosystem.
What is the criticism of AeroPress?
The AeroPress is fundamentally a single-serve brewer. You can’t make a big pot of coffee for guests. You can make a concentrate and add hot water (like an Americano), but it’s not the same as brewing a large batch. If you regularly brew for two or more people, this might not be your primary solution. For a coffee prepared with an Aeropress we recommend that you choose one of our organic coffees with a medium roast. Our Signature and Grande Reserve specialty coffees are ideal for this method.AeroPress recommends a super fine grind—almost as fine as you would use with espresso. Paired with a short brew time, this kind of grind works best. Yet, for variations that involve a longer immersion, we’ll need to go coarser. Medium-fine to medium-coarse is standard.
