Coffee is an integral part of my\u00a0morning routine both at home and off on adventures. Whether I\u2019m road-tripping in my Sprinter van<\/a>, going skiing for the day, car camping, or backpacking, that delicious coffee aroma is something I look forward to every day. The AeroPress coffee maker has been my go-to method for making that perfect cup of joe for nearly 10 years. <\/p>\n

The new model \u2013 the AeroPress Go travel coffee press<\/a> \u2013 is super compact, it takes less than a minute to make a cup of coffee, and the process results in\u00a0a rich, smooth flavor that I haven\u2019t been able to achieve with drip coffee or a french press. Cleanup is also a cinch, which is essential, especially when you\u2019re in a van or car camping. There are no messy grinds to rinse out. You can literally plunge the grounds into the trash and wipe or rinse the AeroPress clean!<\/p>\n

What is an AeroPress?<\/h2>\n

The AeroPress is a simple and inexpensive travel coffee press that can be used at home as well. It\u2019s durable and lightweight so you don\u2019t have to worry about it breaking, and it makes a deliciously strong cup of coffee. Plus, AeroPress coffee only takes a minute to brew which means I get that coffee in my hands sooner.<\/p>\n

There are two types of AeroPress coffee makers, the original<\/a> and the AeroPress Go<\/a>. I\u2019ve had my original AeroPress coffee maker for almost a decade and the seal was starting to get a little worn, so I recently upgraded to the AeroPress Go, the new, compact, travel-size version. <\/p>\n

The AeroPress Go vs the Original AeroPress<\/h2>\n

The major difference between the original AeroPress and the new AeroPress Go is the size. When you have limited storage in your van or camping bins, this helps save space.<\/p>\n

The AeroPress Go also comes with its own mug and lid and everything nests, keeping the whole setup nice and tidy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t too much of a difference in weight between the AeroPress and AeroPress Go \u2013 the AeroPress go actually weighs 3.5 oz more than the original AeroPress but that\u2019s because the weight includes the cup and the lid.<\/p>\n

The original AeroPress has a slightly larger capacity than the AeroPress Go (10oz vs 8oz), and if you like a bigger cup of coffee, you may think that the original is better. However, to make a bigger cup of coffee with the AeroPress Go, you simply add more grounds and top it off with more water at the end. I\u2019ll talk more about that down below.<\/p>\n

The verdict for me?<\/em> I now prefer the smaller AeroPress Go due to the space savings.<\/p>\n
