Water does not get hot enough for proper extraction
Uneven drip
Basket not large enough to hold enough grounds for the amount of water in the pot
Hot plate ruins brewed coffee
Most people never clean them
TL;DR produces dirty, watery, underextracted coffee that is then held at too high temperature and is ruined some more

I collect coffee devices. I have literally every brewing method available save for siphon (soon).

They all have a distinct effect on the flavor, extraction, aesthetic, convenience, etc but I love all of them for their individual profile.

Anyone who says there is a "right" or "wrong" way has their head up their ass.

if a simple coffee machine does it for you what more is there to consider?

whats with all the people saying that french press is too much trouble? Seriously?

How bad are you are cleaning coffee presses? One guy said it takes 15 min!
By the time you wash the pot, clean the basket, fill the reservoir and wait for it to brew it takes about the same amount of time and effort as a french press.

to each their own but I didn't like the Areopress. I find the coffee it produces to be kind of boring, its overly clean. I find it to be too fussy as well, there's more disassembly than french presses, if you don't lock it in right or your filter is off it gets grounds in the coffee, and these filters are not common to find.

Also I had a mug or two roll out from under me when I go to press the plunger down on it. IDK if that's a common issue though or if I am just a retard.

Really? I just twist off the top, push out the grounds, rinse off the rubber end, the whole process takes under 5 seconds.

I've never had any of the other issues you've presented either. I tend to push it down slowly, so the mug tends to not roll backwards or forwards.

I, personally, find the coffee to be clean, as you say,but that's what I like about it.

>> No.10954155

>>10954128
well my bugs have narrow bases and wide tops. it think if I had those classic perfect cylinder mugs it wouldn't be an issue.

and the assembly is still more complicated than a french press IMHO. theres more that can go wrong, especially if you use the funnel. its not difficult of course. Just annoying for me, I don't want to fuss with tiny filters or have trouble locking the cap on because there's grounds in it etc etc.

personal preference though. I can definitely see the appeal

>> No.10954174

>>10954155
I reckon your mug shape is likely the cause of your sliding woes. I use the straight up cylindrical ones and they have never slipped in 3 years of ownership,

I've never used the funnel either, it's much more hassle than it's worth.

I only bought it because I smashed my third french press at work one day and decided to just buy an Aeropress instead. Best investment I ever made.
