Press or Press??
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? http://www.aerobie.com/Products/aeropress.htm OR Should I just get a 12oz. French press. I use a French press at home and really like it.

Re: Press or Press??
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.

Re: Press or Press??
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...

Re: Press or Press??
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.
