Review on AeroPress Go Portable Coffee Press – Makes Delicious Coffee, Espresso, and Cold Brew in Just 1 Minute – Ideal for Travel, 1-3 Cups by Susan Johnson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

AeroPress Go + reusable filter = a must have for coffee lovers!

I love my AeroPress and was excited to see the new version of GO. Revain recommended that I purchase the GO along with the Altura MESH metal filter in the "commonly purchased together" section. I made the choice and am so happy I did! I travel a lot so this is the perfect addition to my backpack! The GO does have one small downside... the new foldable agitator (as opposed to the original T agitator) can scratch the bottom and potentially tear through paper filters. Luckily with the metal filter...no need to worry about that. If you're brewing upside down this might not be a problem, but I still like worrying about just one metal filter rather than counting how many paper filters I need for a given trip. Complaints that GOs are too small. I love making espresso-level shots, which can then be diluted with water to make a good cup of coffee. The GO's chamber is large enough to hold 40 grams of coffee and at least 6 ounces of water... the perfect amount for a great 2-3 cup coffee concentrate, depending on how strong you like it. I'm 2 strong cups - the girl type!
