 im in Love October 15, 2008
Melody A. Vernola (LI,NY)
I have found true love. What a simple and genius invention. I save so much $ in coffe grinds and since I already had a Sunbeam "HOTSHOT" , ...I get a fresh brewed mug of coffee/espresso in less than 2 mins.
Clean up is a dream!!!!!!!!!! This can be taken anywhere!!! Get it !
great little coffee maker October 9, 2008
Elizabeth Hoster (Ohio)
I'm completely sold on this little gizmo. Best coffee I have ever had, and it is small enough to take on just about any trip. The only problem is that I am far less tolerant of lousy coffee now!
A nice alternative to a french press October 9, 2008

this is a great alternative to a french press. it takes a little getting used to, but produces a great cup of expresso/coffee.
Perfect single-cup coffee maker October 7, 2008
Daniel Paul Long (Austin, TX USA)
I drink one cup of coffee in the morning. This is perfect. I was going to buy a pod-based coffee maker but found lots of people complaining about them. The AeroPress is simple and makes a good cup of coffee. Be careful, though. I ground some coffee at the grocery store at the drip setting, but it was apparently too fine and required A LOT of pressure to force the hot water through it. I have also learned a bit about how coffee is made.
 Good tasting coffee, easy clean up. Very portable. Compare to pod maker. October 6, 2008
Audio Maven (Another time and place)
Been using my Aeropress for over a year. My observations: 1) Uses more coffee than a pod maker does. I used to grind my own coffee and make my own pods. For the same amount and strength coffee, my pod maker uses at least 30% less coffee. 2 )I'd say they taste about the same. The aeropress is a tad smoother tasting. 3) Making the coffee and clean up is about as easy using the pod. Of course since I make my own pods that adds about 30 seconds to the process. You don't have to do that with the aeropress. Just dump the coffee in and add water. So score one for the aeropress there.It all cleans up easily.
I think it is much better than the coffee from a french press. I personally don't like the sediment in my coffee and with the filter on the aeropress you have none of that. A good thing.
These can be nice for traveling. When we go for extended stays in hotels, we bring along a hot water pot and I bring the aerobie press and my coffee. The only problem is finding cream. You do have to have hot water to make the coffee so it is not always that convenient to have to bring a hot water pot or to find fresh cream. So consider where you'll be going to determine whether this is an option for you.
In conclusion, if you already have a good pod coffee machine and can do your own pods you probably don't need the aeropress. If you are deciding between a pod coffee maker and the aeropress, go for the aeropress and do without having to make your own pods.
