Enjoy my traveling with the Aeropress Go, on the train and out of a backpack for 2 weeks. In the previous video, I unboxed the Aeropress Go and gave my initial impressions. In this one, I explore the brewer in action, and try to answer some of the concerns I brought up in the previous video.

Two tips for you for the water. # 1 heat it in a Jet Boil # 2 Filter/ Clean water from anywhere in a Grayl. (Trust me, they’re awesome!)

For the lid puling everything out. I noticed you locked in the filter cap. That pushes the plunger back into the tube a bit and makes the entire unit just a bit taller. If you just sit the filter cap on in the groves, but don't twist it to lock it in the press fits flush on top of the cup, and the lid doesn't seem to pull everything off as much.

Interesting. I'll fiddle around with it and give that a try! I still really want this to be a sealed thing though :D

I do one scoop, fill up to 4, and it makes a great cup of coffee!

I’m just now coming across your video and I see you have the same electronic grinder in the background as I do at home. If you were to pre-grind for your aeropress what is the approximate grinder setting you would use? I’m having a hard time figuring it out.

The travel features are definitely an upgrade from the original, but I think the filter holder could be designed better. Mine does not snap closed very tightly and will just open on its own occasionally. I would LOVE to see a cold press video using Aeropress! Thanks for the video!

Yea the filter holder is kinda cheapish.

Coffee Lovers TV John is exactly right. Don’t lock the filter cap onto the brewer to store. If you’ll recall, it wasn’t screwed on when you first unboxed it. As John stated, doing so will push the rubber end of the plunger back into the brewer and cause it to wear unnecessarily.

@@readtoleadpodcast yea it does make it sit better and possibly hold together better. Rather interesting. I don't recall it arriving like that, and I imagine many people using the brewer will store it with the filter screwed on.

Coffee Lovers TV Yours might not have. However, I’m fairly certain that I read about this caution in the instruction sheet that came with the unit.

If you carry a GRAYL tumbler as well you can have pure filtered water wherever you go.

@12.39 you are wrong to kept it with cap screw in. Should unlock the cap and push through the plunger, thats why your look like a loose fit. But if you push through the plunger. It fit perfectly with correct heights.

@Coffeeloversmag 4 жыл бұрын

yes indeed you are correct.

I got one recently and it tasted pretty bad until I tried this. Dump in coffee grounds, fill up with water (normal fill, not inverted, no stirring), seal with plunger. Then wait 1 full minute, take out plunger, top up with water, stir, and seal with plunger one more time. Wait 3-4 more minutes (I know, seems like a long time), then press. Best I've been able to get so far, plus it's easy to do camping with no inverted nonsense.

I tried the GO while camping in cold weather and it kinda failed. After putting the hot water in the cold press and having it drip into the cold cup, the whole thing was barely warm. To be fair, it was about 18 degrees F so it wasn't balmy. I solved it by reheating the finished coffee in an MSI cup and repouring back into the sippy cup. So... for cold weather it works but there is an extra step. I am taking it on a longer vacation to Spain next week and I expect it will work well. The size is good for packing and I look forward to a good coffee. btw I can really see making coffee on an airplane. My second flight is across the Atlantic and is over 10 hours long so, if nothing else, it will give me something to do. ;-p

yea that makes sense. I'm still sticking with the espro ultralight press for camping/backpacking. Serves well for multiple uses, is surprisingly well insulated, and makes a great cup.

@@Coffeeloversmag I might try it. It gets pretty cold around here and I would like to have a better solution.
