I have one at home and one at work. It will convert you into a real coffee snob, no milk or sugar ever again.
Have had my Aeropress for nearly two years now…. agree that it's hard to beat when making coffee at home or work. Quick, clean, and great flavour. There's even a world championship, I kid you not. (http://worldaeropresschampionship.wordpress.com/recipes/).
Makes good espresso, or what I tend to do is heat up half a cup of milk in the microwave (about 1 minute on full) and then press a shot straight into it. End up with a pretty decent flat white. Given enough time (you normally have to toss out the first few shots when warming up a machine) with a really good espresso machine, you could beat it…. and one of those stove top Moka jobs can make a good shot if you get the grind right and know how to use it…. but again, these things are just so easy to use.
I had/have a hand grinder somewhere, but it can be a pain to use when all you want is a quick shot. Personally I'd suggest a powered conical burr job (http://www.bigw.com.au/home-garden/small-appliances/coffee-m…)
I also have an aeropress. Mine's more like 5 years old though. and still going strong! very recommended.
I bought that exact sunbeam grinder from bigW to use at work when it was on sale for $20 delivered. Did a decent grind, however it was WAY too noisy for my office :( I think a hand grinder would be a much better option for office environments.
so now I just still grind up a few days worth of coffee in my EM0480 at home and take it in to work.
Can you cut standard filter paper to size? or must buy filters from their online shop? can anyone comment on the grinder?
You could cut 'em yourself of course…. you can also get a metal filter…. you can also rinse out the paper filters and use them multiple times. Frankly, it costs about $7 for a pack of 200 paper filters (a number of coffee shops stock them - you can check online at http://www.aeropress.com.au/where-to-buy) so I simply toss them! Check my reply above re the grinder.
350 filters come with the Aeropress. The filter packs are $6 for 350 filters. Order with some coffee and freight is free (fixed price postage of $6.90 regardless of order). The porlex grinder is made in Japan and uses ceramic conical bur grinders. You will have the coffee ground before the kettle is boiled.
Will you guys have a stall at the Aroma Festival at The Rocks on Sunday 29th July?

I have sooo many coffee devices and so many disappointments. Do I really need this? I just want decent coffee at work!
It is a fairly well regarded device. The coffee, I find, doesn't quite have the same body as a shot out of an espresso machine, but makes a very drinkable cup in it's own way. The biggest improvement to taste will be made by using freshly ground beans of course. Freshly roasted/ground beans will make a better tasting coffee than pre-ground, regardless what device you're using, so if you can't get a decent electric burr grinder at work, the porlux alone is probably worth it.
I would of thought he'd use a toothpick and some dental floss.
+1 from me - was looking at getting this the other week…hopefully it's better than the Nespresso.
my girlfriend has a nespresso. i prefer the coffee from my aeropress. as long as you're grinding fresh, you should be good.
I'd recommend ducking in to Aldi and buying one of their $20 milk frothers (normally bought for their expressi machines), and pairing it with this deal if you're a milk coffee drinker.
for some reason my $24 milk frother from aldi is dead after 4months. can't find the receipt :(
if you bought with credit card, take in the details of the transaction date/time and they might be able to find it on their system.
I've had this combo for 3 months and my nespresso has been gathering dust for the same amount of time. Absolutely love mine.
Brilliant… I was only looking at this on Wednesday!
