A few thoughts on the new AeroPress, both the brewer and the company. For more information:The AeroPress Clear: https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-clea...

New Hoffman video dropped. Not sure if we have any 3rd wave coffee lovers in this community. I’ve been an avid AeroPress user for about two years now and it will be interesting to see where the company goes, though it will likely not affect me as this thing feels nigh indestructible and I can likely use it for ten years with no issues.

    I use Wacaco products, but I’ve been eyeing the AeroPress Clear since that video dropped.

    It personally would not matter to me if the product is clear, frosted, opaque, or something in-between. I think clear seems to be more practical, though.

      I think the clear AeroPress is definitely the most practical. Part of my AeroPress recipe relies on agitation and waiting for the coffee to sink to the bottom to form a “puck”, which is easier to see in the clear AeroPress for sure. But then also, I’ve been getting great coffee out of mine for the last couple years. I’ve just gotten used to the idiosyncrasies of the semi-opaque press that I have.

      Also, I’m curious what your experience has been with Wacaco. To me the Pico/Nanopresso have seemed interesting from a travel perspective, but for home brewing don’t look too useful. Curious what your primary use case is.

        I really like the flair for home brewing espresso. I have the pro 2 and it’s pretty awesome to be able to make quality espresso that’s just as good or better than what I can get in local cafes while still being able to pack it away when I’m not using it.
