Aeropress Go

[bohrsatom]

I enjoy using my Aeropress at home as it makes great coffee, but there's not enough room in my panniers to bring it on tour with me.

I just read about the Aeropress Go which is the same coffee maker in a more portable form. The aeropress, scoop, stirrer and filters all pack together inside a plastic cup



Looks perfect for bike touring

I can’t see that much of an advantage. Weight won’t be significantly different especially as taking the scoop and stirrer isn’t essential. I’ve a permanent stainless steel filter in mine now with no need for papers.
Bear in mind you’ve a large storage area within the plunger of the original aeropress. It’s a safe storage area for a couple of eggs, sharp kitchen knives or loo paper. The list is endless

I tour with the standard Aeropress....also have the stainless steel filter rather than the papers.

I also have a Porlex mini grinder to grind my own beans each morning....the grinder fits nicely in to the empty cavity of the Aeropress.
I don’t bother with the stirrer and have a Kleen Kanteen stainless steel coffee mug.

The perfect start to any day

I realise I’m only 12 months late replying to this post but might be useful for someone.
I use both dripper and aero press at home. I bought this super lightweight dripper for touring and absolutely love it. It’s a filter holder made by Ortlieb and extremely lightweight.

Very useful! Looks to be £9 from a couple of online stores - out of stock at some and there's some suggestion it may be a discontinued line. It needs you to take two extra tent pegs or similar to hold it up, in case anyone hasn't guessed.

I used two tent pegs as I had a couple spare on that trip. I’ve also used a couple of twigs in the past which work just as well. It would be a shame if they’ve discontinued them though.

I've used this for several years. Simple, light & robust.

I was looking at those recently. They look great for travelling as well as cycle touring.
You wouldn’t really want to use the ortlieb version in a hotel room.

I've used one of these for years for both tea and coffee.

Nice bit of thread resurrection. I bought a GSI java press, this one

I haven't been overly impressed with it, it's OK but you really need running water to clean it out and I'm quite often wild camping. I also prefer the drip coffee I make at home, I know it's waste but the paper cones are easy to carry and dispose of. I've been carrying a standard plastic V60, the bulk doesn't really matter as I'll keep the bag of coffee in it.
Though in a gadget loving way, the folding one linked by Hobbes appeals.

On my travels, I use a cafetiere style infusion brewer which doubles as an insulated mug - the filter is at the end of a metal sleeve instead of a central rod:

Edit - I just followed the link on PH's post and realised our coffee makers are very similar.

Does anyone know anything about how this bloke makes espresso and the equipment required? He's using his bike pump

That wins the gadget competition
Though when I google to find the price, there's nothing more recent than 2013, a couple of years after it came out, so I'm assuming it was either no good, or a poor seller.
Searching for that, I came across quite a few coffee makers I hadn't seen before. This one looked interesting, with a twist to push the water through the coffee, but I'm not sure the results would be any better than a drip or press.

It's a shame that the Airspresso seems to be defunct. I found another machine which uses its own inbuilt hand pump - prices seem to range from about £50 to £90:
