Seems like cheapest ever.

I have an espresso machine so I don't need this, don't want it and probably would never use it but the ozbargainer in me says I should buy it. So if you would kindly please make this go out of stock it would be greatly appreciated. Then I can complain about how I missed out on such a good deal and comment in every single proceeding deal about how it's not as good as that sub $20 deal from way back when.

Edit - mission accomplished. In under an hr too. Still feel slightly bad that I missed out. Good times…

    Seems to be a really good deal

      You can buy a reusable metal filter

        • SaberX on 24/10/2022 - 01:52

          Are the metal filters as good coffee snob making wise as the paper filters?

          And how much are paper filters for good decent ones anyway out of interest?

            @SaberX:

            as good coffee snob making wise as the paper filters?

            Coffee’s just as good, extraction (plunge) a little bit faster.

      It's just not the same. With right amount of water and grind you can even create an espresso with crema. But if you're happy with what's working for you then each to their own. This is more for those that care about the taste of portable coffee. We used it a lot when driving around Australia and didn't want to spend money buying barista coffee.

        Can you share how? Or have a link to the espresso with crema technique? There is an add-on (Fellow Prismo) that supposedly can do this by creating extra pressure. I can't see how you can with the standard aeropress.

        • Jimothy Wongingtons on 23/10/2022 - 23:13

          I too would like to know - I absolutely get zero crema with mine ( I do inverted method if that makes a diff)

          • Hurg on 24/10/2022 - 08:04

            @Jimothy Wongingtons: I'm wondering if it has something to do with the grind. I get a shitload of crema from the Vittoria espresso grind I sometimes buy, but then barely anything from the Airjo Aeropress grind. I wonder if it's the extra pressure required… or just different beans.

      • Fobsessive on 24/10/2022 - 00:02

        Yeah it's a fantastic idea for portability!

  • [Deactivated] on 23/10/2022 - 22:49

      Im a big fan of no fuss coffee but am a big fan of aeropress inverted method and aldi pre ground beans.

      Genuinely want to know which part you found too fiddly…

      • [Deactivated] on 23/10/2022 - 23:04

        Assembling the press and processing it.

        Compared to my EM5300S with integrated grinder espresso machine,.. for me it’s a snap to grind and shoot.
        Less cleanup too, as I just rinse the porta-filter, wipe the bench and it’s job done.

        Personal preference perhaps I never bothered to become proficient at it, but I prefer the taste out of my sunbeam machine in any event.

          I guess I would too, but would be a bit sad if anyone preferred the coffee out of a $20 piece of plastic over a $500 machine haha

            @Jimothy Wongingtons: That’s actually not true.

            Aeropress does not yield espresso, so you can’t really compare to the results from the Sunbeam.

            Aeropress is more of an immersion brew with some characteristics of espresso given the pressure applied to the water moving through the coffee bed. But it’s also filtered - so a very different result in the cup.

            That noted, with some skill behind the aeropress you could absolutely achieve a better cup of ‘coffee’ out of an aeropress than that Sunbeam.

          Can you take it camping?

          • ctan7 on 24/10/2022 - 10:37

            @Zilch: I bought this for camping (so yes to your question) but ended up using it on a daily basis.

            The key is to learn how to use aeropress without all the fancy tool eg knowing the ratio of beans to water by hand, and knowing the brew time (for a particular water temperature). I have a fancy kettle at home that would brew the water to 90c. During camping i boiled the water but add a cup of room temperature water to bring it down. (It’s not foolproof but it gets the job done). OR you can just buy beans that would tolerate boiling water temperature brew.

            A manual grinder and water pouring technique would also help.

    • GeneralSkunk on 24/10/2022 - 10:22

      Yeah they are a bit. I have one of these kicking around in my cupboard from about 5-6 years ago, I have the metal filter too. IMO It makes quite average coffee. I am not sure why people like these so much. I had mine at work, which is the only way I could think of a good use for it, and maybe camping. But then they got espresso machines there.

      My French press makes better coffee and my Moka pot makes much better coffee (which I now use every day). I haven't got any pour-overs but I imagine they are better as well.

      • 0jay on 24/10/2022 - 10:25

      Moka Pot dead to me after aeropress …

      Unless you either make big batch or there’s more than 1 person drinking coffee per brew?

      • bk1973 on 23/10/2022 - 23:07

        Really? I'm like 95% moka pot, 5% aeropress at home. Is it an effort/cleanup thing or a taste thing, or both?

        • Jimothy Wongingtons on 23/10/2022 - 23:09

          Effort and consistency. Plus it’s only me drinking coffee. I did keep some in fridge for a while and dilute it down with ice cubes to make a kind of iced coffee but these days prefer it hot.

          When I had 4 housemates I would brew a batch around 7am and we would all share a coffee over breakfast.

          My moka pot has also been sidelined for the aeropress. I reckon the coffee just tastes better from it. Less acidic or something.

  • cretin on 23/10/2022 - 22:54

    This is a really simple way to make good coffee, less fiddly and easier to clean then any other manual brewing method I’ve tried. If all you care about is a hot caffeinated drink that doesn’t taste too bad, then a pod machine will do. But if you want more out of your coffee and make it closer to a hobby rather than means to an end, the aeropress is the most accessible.

    I LOVE my aeropress. Paid $25 a little while back when Inglewood had 50%off. It took some trial an error to get it the way I like. Trying the method on the directions made a weak coffee. I drink iced coffee, i use the imverted method, move to the "2" line, put in 2 heaped scoops of coffee, hot water, stir well and then set my timer for 2 mins. Then swirl and press slowly over ice, add milk. Comes out perfecto. Only thing is, whilst I've perfected it for my iced coffee, I don't know how to make a good coffee for other people that are used to a standard instant, with 3/4 water, 1/4 milk. If I do my method, its only like 1/4-1/3 a mug of coffee. If I fill with milk ita cold. So tried to top up with hot water. Then milk. Nope. Tried to do two coffee scoops but the press set to 4 instead of 2 so there's more liquid. The reception I get is "its ok". Would love any advi e from anyone that normally would drink an instant coffee but uses this now. I don't drink instant so I don't know how to make a ni e coffee for my guests.
