Looking to buy a small press to take to work.
I'm thinking of this one but have no experience with one.
Has anyone tried the Aerobie?

OR

Should I just get a 12oz. French press.
I use a French press at home and really like it.

An Aerobie, a great device, makes a brew different from (but close to) espresso or mokapot coffee. Add water to a cup of Aerobie-brewed coffee and it's pretty much like a smooth Americano. Add hot milk and it's a cafe-au-lait. Coffee is ready 30-seconds after the water boils; clean up is another 30-seconds.

Extraction is fast. I guess thats what makes a smooth (less bitter) brew. Does the fast extraction and smooth taste mean less caffeine?

I would just roll with the French Press. It will give you everything from the bean. I always have liked the coffee that I made through the press.

I have both, and for work the aero press would be great. Clean up is much faster and storage is smaller.

Hmmm...Aeropress...great idea...anyone know what those cost?

About $25. Add another $5 give or take a buck or two for 350 filters.

I ended up getting a small French press that I've been using at work for the past few weeks....BUT....Like cigars and pipes, I couldn't resist trying the Aeropress.
The French press might be getting laid off...:-)
That Aeropress makes a great cup of coffee...:-)

I always preferred my French press, but you can't go wrong either way really.

I like both, but if I had to chose only one it would be the Aero as it is much more versatile. When I get home from work the first thing I do is make a cup of Cafe Cubano in the Aeropress for myself and a white chocolate mocha for the wife. Its not an espresso machine, but it makes damn good (and strong) coffee fast.
