  • My fucking washing machine rattled my V60 off the shelf, it fell down and broke 🫤

    As I had mostly filter coffee at home for a couple years now I'm kinda open for something new, looking at the Aeropress again (never had one before, only briefly used one at a friends' house and liked it) -
    loving the fact that there's clear ones now, but why the fuck are they so expensive?? I mean it's literally a couple pieces of plastic and a bit of rubber for 50 bucks FFS

  • Because its incredibly versatile and you can use it every single day for a decade (as I have) and it'll still work. Filters are cheap and the plunger needs to be replaced maybe once every few years if you use it every single day. Still a very high value proposition IMO.

    Otherwise, just buy a plastic V60.

    Following that logic a butter knife might just as well cost 50 bucks, as it's incredibly versatile and you can use it every single day for a decade and it'll still work.
    The price you pay for the AeroPress in relation to what it costs to produce the thing is kinda off, in my opinion.

    Just saw in that Hoffmann video they also are skimping on the filters now, seriously WFT
