Nope, fuck you.

Since Lemmy is into junk science fear...Here's a peer-reviewed study showing stainless steel leeches nickel and chromium toxic metals into food.

Big aeropress, glass aeropress, now metal aeropress! What’s next? Gotta diversify that product line for maximum profits!

(Disclaimer: long time plastic aeropress user here. 😊)

"Pre-order ships in May"

An eye watering $169, but hey it's finally here.

Slightly cheaper than the $199 stupidly breakable glass Premium.

Slightly larger 12oz capacity vs 10oz Aeropress original, but smaller than the 20oz XL

As much as I would like to set it on the floor and step on it for “ghettospresso,” that price is ridiculous.

$170 (assuming USD). And their cookie prompt is broken, forcing you to accept their trackerware.

Where's my V60 gang? We take the aeropress camping, but I like the simplicity of the V60 at home

Well now we won't have microplastics to add body to our brews.

AH man it's a shame I gave up coffee two years ago cuz of shitty acid reflux!

This makes so much more sense than that ridiculous glass version.

I'm guessing that Aeropress has lost a ton of market share to the Oxo Rapid Brewer (which appears to be superior to the Aeropress in everyway). Aeropress is now scrambling with any and all ideas to try to recall market share.

I'd love to have one of these, but I can't do it at that price. I'll just keep getting microplastics in me, I suppose..

There are better options available for under $170 USD.

man, the preheating you'll have to do with this...

I exclusively use the plastic aeropress (3 years or so) and although upgrading to something stainless seems like a nice upgrade I'd want to revisit best brewing methods and make that decision again before spending $150+. I don't drink coffee every week let alone every month, typically doing week long streaks before taking a break, so this is cool to see but nothing that makes me rush out and upgrade.

There seems to be some haters in the comments for the aeropress, I guess I'd like to know better alternatives for quickly brewing black coffee for one person.

How do I use the numbers on the outside?

The company that took over Aeropress is out of touch to say the least. It's a shame they fucked up the product. I really like my old plastic one. Fuck the corpo shit stains who are only motivated by profit.

Do people think that the Aeropress is the ultimate coffee maker? Because if not, why pay the premium? I have one as well and I love it for the 20€ it costs me. For 170€ you could get a decent filter machine. Do people not Google for alternatives?
