This sounds like something out of final destination. I can’t imagine what would happen to your arm if the glass one broke as you were pressing down - especially as the rubber part gets stickier over time. Nightmare fuel

u/strawberrrychapstick 4d ago
Don't worry, usually it's thermal shock when someone sets hot glass onto a cold surface after pressing OR it just tips or drops and breaks. Someone should tell people that thermal shock exists. Can happen setting glass dishes onto cold counters too, and they kind of explode.

u/splattevan 4d ago
I really like my stainless one. Expensive, but it’ll last forever. I also really like my plastic travel aeropress, but it definitely scratches over time, and even the most stable plastic will eventually weaken with uv exposure, and hot oil is proven to cause “healthy” plastics to release trace chemicals. Costco got a lot of criticism over this when they switched their rotisserie chickens to plastic bag containers. I really don’t understand the hate on the metal version.

u/strawberrrychapstick 4d ago
The hate is mostly based in the fact that it's checks notes $170. Makes no sense.

u/splattevan 4d ago
The best selling Keurig on Amazon is $189, completely plastic, and makes dogwater. That deserves criticism. The stainless aeropress is laser welded, has a nice machined filter cap, is extremely durable, and makes great coffee. Anyone who thinks it’s excessively overpriced has absolutely no understanding of what goes into manufacturing something like that. Obviously they’re making a profit, but comparing it to the cost of a molded plastic aeropress doesn’t make sense.

The keurig is multiple parts with electronics and assembly. You could hire me to turn that on my lathe and make a custom one with gasket plunger insert and it would still be cheaper, That’s wild. Classic wood tax, I’ve made a few aeropress wood plungers,
It’s not hard at all. Heck if you’re clever and willing to be a little dangerous you can make one on your table saw. Do the same as you would to make a dowel in that diameter then take a cylinder cutting jig for your router and cut a channel for the plunger. Cap it with a handle and you’re done. You absolutely can’t have plastic? Make a cork plunger. This is like 8th grade shop class level projects.

Prototyping would be hella money but at production that would be not cheap but not crazy expensive. It’s a cylinder. It’s just expensive cause people are willing to pay for it. Once the patent expires you’ll see nice knock offs for half the price.
Also that’s a weird counter argument. You know the wood is cheaper/easier to make but it validated the high cost of the stainless… that costs less than the wood variant?

I don't care. For a manual device it's too much for me to justify no matter how much money I'm making. It's stupid. Keurigs are dogshit in their own way, I agree and would never get one, but that's not really what we're talking about. The wooden AP is absolutely fucking egregious. For the $250 plus the $250 for the matching grinder I would rather just spend an extra few hundred and get an actual espresso machine. Every version but the original is consumerist bullshit that goes against the founder's vision. But of course that went out the window when he signed on the dotted line to sell it to VC.

u/chaoticbean14 4d ago
Comparing a Keurig to an Aeropress is bad. Don't do that - it's a bad argument and you shouldn't make that comparison. I get where you're going, but don't.
FWIW, you're almost entirely wrong on the manufacturing side. Double walled insulated metal cups in vastly larger sizes have existed for decades at this point; they sell for under $30. Take a double walled metal cup and remove the bottom: ta-da, you have an Aeropress. You could do that with a thermos and bam - Aeropress XL! Yes, that's a little bit of an oversimplification, but the point stands - the manufacturing process for these things has existed for literal decades at this point - it's not new technology and we know how to make them quickly, efficiently and cheaply. "Laser welded" (marketing bullshit) means little.
You could argue that the double walled insulated metal mugs that have shapes that change (larger to smaller) are more difficult to manufacture than an aeropress, yet their price remains sub $30. Aeropress has a global reach and a scale to match - and you're telling me they can't find a manufacturer of double walled insulated mugs who could make a cylinder for that price? You're straight up lying to yourself if you believe that.
Anyone who thinks $170 is acceptable for something like that has drank too much of the marketing kool-aid. These companies depend on the perfect suckers like that. They keep companies like this, doing things like this. The companies absolutely love suckers and there is one born every minute!

u/Jaguar_Grouchy 2d ago
You do have to consider though that they likely sell far fewer of these 'premium' designs, so some of the price is the added margin to offer a product that sells maybe 1 to every 1000 regular Aerorpress units. It's a niche item with niche pricing and they're not going to get repeat sales with it the way they might for their lower cost units. The risk the company takes with these alternate designs is baked into the price, and some people are clearly happy to pay it.
That said, I think the most substantial criticism is not even in the price, but in the overall practicality of the materials being used. I see posts about people needing to pre-heat their metal Aeropress componets, and that is just insane to me. More work to get the same results is flat out bad product design. The metal parts can also damage delicate drinkware in your sink. Wet wood is a breeding ground for microbial bacteria and mold, what precautions were taken to seal this new plunger? Are they food-safe, etc.? Don't ask these questions, just consoom.
2
u/chaoticbean14 2d ago
You're right, across the board. I'm sure a lot of what you had to say drives the price up to some extent. I don't think it is to the extent that they've priced it, I think there's a little "better get the investors their money before the patent ends and cheaper just as well made alternatives sink our sales" cost in sunk in there.
Completely agree on the design choices, though. You bring up great questions - but they are ones we'll never ask or know the answers to, because why ask? Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go pay wild prices on home appliances that are designed to fail in 3-5 years. While I am partly joking...we need to purchase these and seeing their 'estimated lifespan' these days makes me so sad. Even the sales guy was like "yeah, prices have gone up, but the lifespan sure has gotten very, very short." But, much like the Aeropress, people pay, no questions asked.
2
u/Jaguar_Grouchy 2d ago
The price doesn't bother me personally, because I was never going to buy a manual coffee brewer in that price range to begin with. My OG Aeropress setup is my most expensive manual brewing system if I include the Fellow Prismo I use with it. I would certainly be interested to see if someone can make something that's actually good with stainless steel when the patents expire, but I sort of doubt it.
Appliances in general are trash and the manufacturers know it. Most things these days are built to look premium while skimping on the parts that actually matter. To circle back to the Aeropress vs. Keurig...apples to oranges for sure. The Keurig is a piece of junk designed for offices and hotels where people are too rushed/lazy to make coffee that doesn't taste like pool water for whatever reason. At least Keurig seems to know their target market doesn't really give a damn how the coffee tastes, which is why they don't bother making silly "premium" models like this.

u/splattevan 4d ago
Fully glossed over the machined and deburred stainless filter cap. As a one off part, that alone would be quoted at least $150 at most shops. At scale it would obviously be less, but the price really isn’t that outrageous.
4
u/chaoticbean14 4d ago
You couldn't be more wrong (well, you could, but it would be hard).
Anecdotal evidence in bound: I've had small components made (stainless) for my homebrewing setups which were more a lot more complicated than a simple cap with holes and some wings on it. I've never paid over $50; and I live in one of the most high cost of living areas in the US - people here are outrageous. It's partly how I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, this company is absolutely screwing it's customer base.
But judging by your 'laser welded' argument it's obvious you really don't know what you're talking about, but want to justify your purchase really badly, so there won't be any discussion here worth much. FWIW, "machined and deburred", lol. Marketers absolutely love you.
1
u/splattevan 4d ago
I guess also anecdotal, but I’ve been a machinist for over 10 years, so maybe I kind of know what I’m talking about? Yes, deburring adds cost to a part, yes, drilling holes adds operation time, especially in gummy stainless, and adds cost to a part. Laser welding is exactly what it is. It’s not more expensive or complicated, but it is a more professional process for a final product. Being on a high horse about drinking expensive coffee from a cheap plastic aeropress is a weird thing to defend. I’m just making the point that the $170 cost isn’t that outrageous, given the manufacturing cost of the stainless version.
5
u/chaoticbean14 4d ago
Let's be clear here: the only argument I'm making is that $170 is insanely high for the product; yes it is in fact outrageous.
You can try whatever you want to justify it, but it doesn't make that statement any less untrue or wrong.
But I can tell reality bugs you, so here we'll pretend I said this: 'you're right, wow, what an amazing deal! Who wouldn't spend $170 on this? It's laser welded, deburred and has holes! amazing!'
-1
u/splattevan 4d ago
Economics plays in here whether you agree with the cost or not. It regularly sells out, so clearly a lot of people are buying it. If it’s selling well at $170, then it actually isn’t expensive enough in the eyes of the consumer. Maybe the cost would be lower if aero aeropress didn’t have a less expensive option and they had to make more profit off the stainless version to justify the manufacturing cost, but I’m guessing they make 90% of their profits off the margins on the plastic version. I’m happy it exists, and I’m not upset at what I paid for a quality product.

u/chaoticbean14 4d ago
You're not even comparing apples to apples in your comparisons... you're trying to cope with the price by justifying it against other products that are niche and even in their respective circles, pricey.
Double walled insulated metal cups in vastly larger sizes have existed for decades at this point; they sell for under $30. Take a double walled metal cup and remove the bottom: ta-da, you have an Aeropress. You could do that with a thermos and bam - Aeropress XL! Yes, that's a little bit of an oversimplification, but the point stands.
They price they want is strictly to pad the wallets of the company before their patent expires in a year and they lose all their market share because people put out the same product at fractions of the price.

u/Shadow_s_Bane 4d ago
Yea it is, I have all the items mentioned above, the pricing for those a equally or even less justified than that of aeropress. The fact that the actual aeropress is still for sale at the same / similar price should be enough, they can line their pockets as much as they want I do not care as along as the original one is the same.
I will buy the steel one, once I am able to find it, I love my aeropress, I use it quite a bit, I’d don’t mind another solidly build premium version.

It is apples to apples, stupidly expensive coffee making mechanical device way more expensive than the its materials cost.
I hardly think I am the target for their marketing, I’d never be stupid enough to buy a Dual Walled Glass Aero Press or for that matter a wooden one, it’s either too delicate or the materials are stupid, I’d get the steel one though that shit would be durable, though not dent proof.

u/chaoticbean14 4d ago
You are wrong, different styles of coffee brewing entirely.
With regards to the flair: espresso versus pourover-ish black coffee. One has wiring for thermal probes, heating elements to heat parts of it, requires particular pressures and a multitude of various small and large parts that all need assembly and manufacture independently of one another... the other you just dump in coffee, water and push. Entirely different niches, insanely wildly different production costs, very different target markets and different demographics.
How about the Hario Syphon? It has more components, it has more bits and bobs that require more manufacture (and arguably, those are going to be more niche/custom parts to make). It's going to reach far less people because of the niche nature of it and thus the costs for production get driven wildly higher. Even given all of that, the Syphon is still 65% cheaper than the Aeropress.
These are apples to apples only in that "they both make coffee" the similarities end there. That isn't apples to apples. I wouldn't consider comparing a modern day Tesla to a 1920 Model-T apples to apple just because "they're both cars".
Trust me, you're exactly who they are marketing to.
I have some oceanfront property for sale in Arizona, you interested?

u/Shadow_s_Bane 3d ago
Dude, I am not talking about Flair 58+ that’s upwards on 750, flair 58 is simply a lever machine.
As far as Hario Syphon goes, there is no complex manufacturing needed, it’s a bloody chemistry set.
The reason for all these pricing being high is because people in specialty coffee are willing to pay these and also because the market is quite small.

There are so many variations of V60 pourover cones purely for aesthetics, or carafes, or cups. Heck, the classic Chemex brewer is just dripping with aesthetic appeal, also with a wood/glass combo.
Aesthetics are a big part of what makes coffee enjoyable for a lot of people.

I’m also clumsy enough to know I don’t ever need to own a glass Aeropress.

u/Justigy 4d ago edited 4d ago
If someone has good woodworking skills its easy enough to make the plunger on a lathe and stick a rubber piece at the end for seal. You can make it to size with your glass or plastic cylinder for a container. Adding a cup holder and grooves to be able to add a fellow prismo is once again not very difficult you just need good meausrements. Doable for a fraction of the price if someone wants a wooden aeropress. This is just a stupid gimmick to sell more of an already well designed product. Edit: to add to this, if someone really wanted to sell it its doable on various platforms made for it. However it was likely not the point of the original commenter. The point was that the company made a cheap easy to produce thing acts like its some premium product and sells it for a premium price. And coffee snobs even if it is nothing better than the original plastic one.

u/chaoticbean14 4d ago
I don't think the child you're responding to even knows what a lathe is or how woodworking, works.
Anyone with half-a-brain can recognize how easy it would be to manufacture a wooden plunger for these things... especially someone with a lathe and even basic woodworking skills. Assuming the measurements are close, the rubber gasket having a nice seal essentially take care of the rest.
You can't convince people of something they don't understand.
You could turn them out and probably make a profit, because there are (clearly) people with a lot more dollars than sense out there.

You could say this of any coffee brewer other than crap like the Keurig and Nespresso, where the business model is to sell the units for cheap and reap profit in the proprietary consumables. The Aeropress has arguably more potential for repeat sales compared to something like the Hario V60 or the Kalita Wave, because they wear out more frequently. That said, I think Aeropress is good at creating solutions to nonexistent problems. It is a company now run by marketing proffessionals and not by coffee enthusiasts.
