Bought this in 2008 and am still using it in 2023. It's compact, durable and has produced great coffee for me, nearly everyday, for the last 15 years. All you need is a kettle and good coffee beans. Add coffee, pour hot water, wait 1 minute then press the plunger to get your morning brew.

People are asking what the difference between an Aero Press and French Press. The benefit to an aero press is the paper filters. They filter out some of the oils when making a cup. French press you get the oils or whatever you want to call it. I have tried several coffee makers over the years, gadgets like the vacuum coffee maker from bodium etc, and nothing comes close to the simplistic aero press for a decent cup of coffee.

Do the permanent stainless steel filters work as well as paper filters?

Depends what you mean. I've used one before, and it worked well, but with mesh filters you will always get the oils coming through that paper removes. Some people like it that way, others don't. James Hoffman prefers paper filters; when I heard him say that and why, I gave them another try and decided he was right. They do give a "cleaner" quality to the taste.
