AeroPressGo Travel Coffee Press Kit - 3 in 1 brew method combines French Press, Pourover, Espresso - Full bodied coffee without grit or bitterness - Small portable coffee maker for camping & travel

Invented for a single cup of coffee - this coffee maker has quite a following and even world championship contests. After getting "into" coffee (yes, I've been drinking and enjoying coffee for years but never really "into" it) my wife wanted an espresso machine and down the coffee rabbit hole I went. Normally, I may brew 4-8 cups of coffee in our automatic drip coffee maker - sometimes it would be only me that drank any that morning and we'd waste half a pot regularly. With coffee bean prices going up and having access to a decent grinder I looked at other ways to make my morning "grog". Now I'm just a beginner at the AeroPress (only a few short weeks) but I've YET to make a bad cup of coffee with it. Even if you factor in "beginner's luck" or closely following directions/recipes found on YouTube (weighing coffee and water, checking temperature, applying the correct amount of pressure) which I'm not - I still seem to get great coffee time and time again. I'm no barista, in fact, until about a month ago I don't think I could have spelled barista - that doesn't mean I haven't been able to appreciate good coffee - I've had very good coffee here in the US in nice Italian restaurants and great Italian espresso in Italy (though it's been a few years). The AeroPress is not going to make (likely) the best cup of coffee you've ever had but I'm willing to bet it will not make the worst either (even if you've gone "rogue" and completely ignored any AeroPress recipe or technique).Before I explain why I think the Travel AeroPress is "best" AeroPress let me share what my experience is with the directions that come along with the coffee maker (regardless of model). Other's will likely agree and it's almost a theme for reviews or how-to videos that you should only read the directions that come with the AeroPress on the way to trash can / recycle bin where they should be deposited. Some may claim that these instructions are just plain wrong - others claim that they're ambiguous but could be followed with some success. When I attempted to follow the directions I made good coffee but just not what most of us would consider to be a "cup" (five or six ounces or more) of coffee. I won't go into detail about how I make mine today since there's hundreds if not thousands of videos on social media that are great in showing how to make a single, double or even three cups at a time - the inventor has presentations on making a cup and talks about some of the history and evolution of the device - worth watching for sure.So why do I think the Travel AeroPress is "best" AeroPress? Well for a few reasons. First if you plan to "take it with you" either to work, school (college/university) it's designed to be contained in one items - technically you do not need a cup or mug but unless you plan to brew "inverted" you may need something to pour your water into (hint the inner cylinder / plunger holds what I think is a perfect amount of water if you're using volume not weight measurements) freeing up the cup to make the coffee in the non-"inverted" way. If you're not traveling or bringing your AeroPress with you to work/school etc. I still think the Travel AeroPress is the way to go simply because it stores away in itself - the non-travel version really doesn't take up a lot of space but if your kitchen is like mine parts and accessories get lost and if I can keep things together there's far less of a chance I'll loose things. All put together the coffee maker is about the size of one of those extra large mugs that typically says "World's Greatest Dad" or "I'm not a crazy cat lady". I also find the cup to be very handy in pouring hot water (to wet the filter paper - if you're in to that) along with a place to wash/rinse the AeroPress itself if you are away from a sink - the edges of the included cup make pouring work compared to the normal round edges of a "normal cup or mug" - no tendency to spill down the front and make additional mess. The stir is a nice design and again it stores away inside the plunger along with the scoop. The filter paper container is also nice - even if you make a few cups a day you'll likely not have to re-stock the travel container very often (maybe on the weekend check to see if you're getting low).So I do not believe you can go "wrong" with any AeroPress models - the thing works great - if the "regular" model was 1/2 the price I'd probably have to "opt" for that but the difference in price between the two models is only a few dollars and for me at least I think the compact, store inside itself design is worth it."Size Note" - the original AeroPress is a tad bit larger (the cylinder is taller so more volume) - making a larger cup (or two smaller ones) in one press might be the deciding factor.Enjoy your coffee!

I love this to-go system. I take it to the office with me to make my own cup of coffee on my in-office days. Pro tip - if you travel with this, take the magnetic sliding lid lock off and store it in the canister with the scoop and stir stick. It’s magnetic so it can come off the lid, and when you travel with it you could lose it. I actually lost the slider, contacted Aero Press about buying a replacement slider, and the company replaced it for me for free! But I am going to store it in the canister going forward because I don’t know how many freebies I can get like that. Great customer service as always though.

I was skeptical but after using the AeroPress, it makes an exceptional cup of coffee! Very easy to use. No bitterness to the coffee. Even works on super fine espresso powder. Highly recommend.

No leakage and very durable. I felt I got value for my money as I have had a great cup of coffee every time I use this. The fit is excellent and it brews quickly once you pour the hot water in.

I bought this as a gift for my husband, not knowing anything much about coffee. He loves it. Says he used to have one and that is very easy to use and also very durable!

I have a regular AeroPress at home that I've traveled with a few times. This travel set is better designed than the OG for all the parts to fit together in a compact package that's perfect for traveling. The AeroPress itself seems to be made of a different kind of plastic that gives it a more solid feel than the home version. My only qualms are with the mug: 1) it does a poor job of insulating warm beverages; coffee barely stays warm for an hour, and 2) the magnetic opening on the lid is a great little design feature in theory, but poorly executed on this, as it doesn't close all the way and leaves room for liquids to leak out. Other than that, I'm glad I got it, but I do wish the mug was designed better.

Perfect for camping. At home combined with my water cooler/heater a fresh cup is only minutes away.

This is the ultimate combination for those who prefer the pure pour-over taste (sans sweetener or cream) even when you can’t control the grind size of a coffee because it is currently only sold already ground. I prefer a more medium course grind to speed up the pour through the paper filters to counter any bitterness of my brew and not have the sludge that I get from using a French press. Using the usual filter process can take up to twice the time (about 4-5 minutes) that it normally takes for my preferred grind size. But when I saw the AeroPress and saw how it forced the issue with a plunger, I took the leap. Now I’ve got my smooth tasting pour-over!
