Hey Brian, i think Ive invented a new aeropress brewing method.. I'm calling it the inverted revert. This is when you set up the press in the inverted way but discover after you've added boiling water, that you can't lock on the filter because the brewing chamber is upside down... And you can't dispense because you've plugged it. Yay. To do a full inverted revert, you have to tip everything out into an additional cup, swilling out sediment as you go while setting things up to the box method. At this point, if any one has seen, explain it is the inverted revert method, an artisan extraction process, with extended brew time.
How about another video with a focus on the main parts? I'm looking for a side-by-side of the central unit; just the chamber, plunger, and filter holder; dimensions, and what they look like side-by-side. The other parts are pretty much extras, and most aren't needed IMO. Also, why was there no mention of the pain drying the Go's mug? the thin ridges for heat dispersion are a major design flaw. Try drying it before packing to check out from where you're staying; it's nearly impossible without a microfiber cloth... so you'd either be packing a wet mug or microfiber cloth; neither is good. They should have put a silicone coating for the heat dissipation instead.
I wish the marketing of this coffee maker was better. It should be in every store that sells coffee. Great coffee maker with poor marketing. You can buy a Keurig everywhere hand it's the most environmentally unfriendly coffee maker made. Aeropress is hard to find unless you buy it from Amazon.
I'm looking to get my fist press. I have 2 questions. 1 can you use the go on any mug? The base of the originals hexagon design makes it universal. Is that lost. 2 how useful is the funnel? If I buy a go will I miss out on not having one.
If you are still deciding, or for other buyers interested in Go. 1. Yes, you can still pretty much use it on the same mug you use with the original aeropress, although the rim is a bit smaller but I'm able to use it on pretty much any mug/tumbler I used with the original. 2. The funnel is pretty handy for transferring the ground coffee from the grinder to the aeropress chamber. But It is still doable without the funnel (depends on your grinder footprint) although I have to do it slowly.
@@steinway_gaming thank you. My kids are getting one for Christmas. I'm still on the fence. On which I want. I love the design of the go. The colour, the folding bits, the filter container. But the bigger base, the funnel. Seem useful. I cant imagine id use the travel mug. But I dont need the extra volume of the original.
@@simoncurran6184 if you are brewing mainly at home (or even at traveling, providing you don't mind bringing an extra tumbler) I would highly recommend the original Aeropress. The only plus to me is that the mug from aeropress go is pretty useful for when I want to go extra miles on doing inverted brew method and need a place to rinse my filter paper (especially useful when I'm at the office, brewing from my desk). Otherwise, I prefer the original aeropress, the overall footprint don't differ that much anyway.
I had the original and lost it in a move. Recently purchased the go. I have used it with other mugs without issue. I miss the funnel as I'm a klutz and need to be very careful about filling the flask, and I miss the original in general because yes, those 2oz do seem to make a difference to me 😂
@@CripplingDuality:,Most of the folks I know make an Americano even with the original Aeropress, as even 10oz’s isn’t enough to get their morning started. Just add more coffee to make your “syrup”, and add hot water to arrive at the brew strength you’re comfortable with : )
I have tried out both and there is absolutely no difference. I have tried the paper filter and the metal one, and if you can get your hands on the metal filter, PLEASE DO. Metal filter is much better than the paper ones
mate here's a bit of advice when making a video - if you're going to show items how about the camera zooms in on the items in question insetad of being 20 feet away where you can't see them, and don't wear a black shirt when holding up black / dark brown items as you can't see them
Nice video! Thank you! But I am sorry to say, YOU GOT THIS WRONG! 🙂 The original Aeropress has MORE MAJOR IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES than you described. They outweigh most of the Aeropress Go pros. The ORIGINAL Aeropress PROS: 1. It's shaped longer and empty inside. That allows to CARRY an elongated GRINDER inside of it. The grinder body fits inside perfectly. Only the grinder handle is stored separately. When you travel light, what is MORE important to carry - a grinder or an plastic cup? I will say - a grinder! 2. If the grinder is inside the Aeropress, you can fill the grinder with approx. 8 oz/200 gr. of beans! This will be enough to make 4 portions of coffee 2-3 times! What is MORE important to carry - an 8 oz of coffee beans? Or a plastic cup/mug? I will say - 8 oz of coffee beans! 3. All you need to carry is only the Aeropress + 1 stainless filter + grinder + coffee beans! I am sure you either already have a mug, or you will use one from someone else. The Aeropress GO PROS: 1. Only the mug could be a pro, but not for me. It's not my favorite design anyway. I would still choose the ORIGINAL Aeropress any day over the GO. It is much better for business trips, camping, SHTF or any emergencies at home.
What if I do not have grinder that fits plunger of Aeropress? I´d like to see grinder of that size to accomodate 200g of coffee beans. My 1zpresso J-max can hold 80g for traveling.
@@ggrandczAbsolutely right, that plunger won't hold 8 ounces of coffee beans AS IS, let alone with a grinder taking up a lot of its space on top?! BTW 8 ounces is closer to 230g than to 200g...
I actually dont see the real point with the aeropress go. The normal aerooress is never a problem for me to take with me, and you can have the metalfilter already inserted. In fact, you have room for a small grinder inside the aeropress aswell. In the aeropress go you cannit have a grinder so the "small size" is adding up. I would much rather that they came up with a much larger areopress, the size of an french press so you coukd make say 5 dl up to a liter aeropress coffe at once. That woukd be awesome for breakfasts! That i would be intrested in. I dont feel like the original aeropress is hard to take with me when travel, so i am not gonna buy this
There is a large aeropress is called the aeropress xl it has a carafe but looks a little une unwieldy. I like my aeropress but am still looking at the go bégaie is it compactness. I use metal filters as I like the full taste of the coffee like you get with espresso.
The original also comes with a funnel which is useful when making coffee at home with your own mug
Aeropress go is so easy and compact to carry, I have it with me all the time, with a tiny bag of coffee and fits in my pockets

Wrong choice of t shirt. But the review was helpful.
I thought he will make coffee in both to compare :/
I work away a lot, if I took our standard aeropress I would return to an empty house. An aeropress go, in my overnight bag? Makes sense to me 🤔
Very interesting comparison. I already have the normal aeropress so won't be buying the go. It does look quite cool tho :)

Hey does it come with filters? I wanna buy from Starbucks online shop but they said the normal Aeropress doesn't come with it.
they realy gotta get a mni grinder. even if its not fantstic.
are both the same diameter to share the filter? thanks
Yes they do.

Can you make the coffee in the Go a little stronger and add water to it after?
Yes you can make Americano!
It's pretty common. Just double up your coffee and add hot water to the cup/mug
@@themodularmodular Problem solved. Most everyone I know does that on the original also. Americana is the way to go! Thanks for you comment.
What about the coffee taste differences?

Can u use a metal filter with Aeropress Go?
Yes you can
@@Frenchpresscoffeelove Do you have an opinion on the “metal filter”? Thanks!!!
Nice video! Thank you! But I am sorry to say, YOU GOT THIS WRONG! 🙂

portability it is
i mean, at that point, just buy a french press. would probably be cheaper than a larger aeropress.

The biggest downside of the original Aeropress is that it requıires a cup with a wide mouth.
But how small does your cup have to be so that the Aeropress won't fit? I don't own a single one
@@samteks125 Many ordinary tumblers, glasses or vacuum flask caps are narrow for Aeropress.
Lol the go has been out for forever
Hot liquid and plastic seems wrong.
It been on the market for many years. Learn about materials here aeropress.com/use-it-now/evolution-of-aeropress/
@@Frenchpresscoffeelove no info about materials at all 🤷
