NEW AeroPress Go Plus - The GO I Wanted to Begin With

[@bradsyoutube]

For me, it wasn’t the release of different APs. It was the fact that they decided to not include the original accessories. Along with the price increase it just didn’t gel. It felt anti-customer focused. Increase the price, fine, but don’t skimp as well. I still love my aeropress 😉❤️

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

Yeah one thing I have learned is there is a widely varied attachment to the accessories they got rid of. I never used my funnel and I found the filter holder… bad 🤣. IMO, they made the overall initial experience of the aeropress overall more confusing and I was actually fine to see them go. BUT some people (including local friends of mine), use those accessories all the time. So I get both sides of this, but I also applaud Aeropress on finally delivering on other things people had been asking for for years

[@bradsyoutube]

@@DaddyGotCoffee give credit where credit is due. I agree. We do tend to focus on the negative unfortunately

[@pkwan970]

Totally agree. The aeropress used to include 350 filters, enough to last you a long time. but they cut it down to 100......come on! those are dirt cheap. Also charging $9.95 for filter holder and $9.95 for funnel on the aeropress website! that is ridiculous.

[@stephencraker3988]

I loved the funnel. I didn’t use it as a funnel. Instead I used it as a base to press on for small-mouthed thermoses and mugs (eg contigo)

[@T100ley]

The plastic bottom is actually great cheap replacement, and for minor drops won’t dent.

[@Scandinavianalpscoffeeroasters]

We love the aeropress GO. The red cap has two good functions. We use it to weigh out our beans into and then it folds to does your coffee into your aeropress. The 2nd thing it is good for is to fit under the travel cup to give it more friction to place on uneven surfaces when camping. ⛺️

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

I have used my Go cap as a coaster on rocks and stuff. I forgot about that! Thanks for dropping this!

[@TheGOF]

I hauled my 2010 model around the world (military) for over a decade. Used a Crown Royal bag to keep the parts together. Carried a cheap plastic coffee cup with a travel lid because it looked indestructible. It was. The Aeropress was often my only source of coffee for months at a time and it’s still going strong. This new version would improve some on my current method, but it’s hard to just ditch my old friend.

[@dsb1302]

I didn't like that magnetic thing on the lid. Apparently, it was made for Americans who mostly move around by car. I live in Europe, and in my use case, I put the mug in my bag and went on foot around the city. I made sure that the mug was always upright, but still, the coffee spilled all over my bag. It would be great if they made something more airtight than that magnetic thing. Now I'm looking for something to replace the standard lid, but there's nothing like that. This makes me regret paying the extra $40 for the thermal mug instead of buying a regular Aeropress and a good airtight thermal mug separately.

[@shorina_fm186]

I think I will stick to my AeroPress Go as the squarish shape makes it easier to find room inside my bag.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

Go is still the most compact!

[@shorina_fm186]

@@DaddyGotCoffee Yeah!! Anyway, thanks for the AeroPress Go Plus review. The review was so well rounded 👍

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

@@shorina_fm186 really appreciate that - thank you 🥰💪☕️

[@bouncyafro4175]

On the contrary, I find the cap to be extremely useful as a bean measuring tray/funnel for handgrinders. It weighs almost exactly 50g, so if you forget to tare your scale, you can just do easy maths to get to your desired amount of coffee. Also, since the cap is pliable I can very easily shape it into a funnel so that beans flow into my handgrinder without creating a giant mess in the process.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

You guys are teaching me all these niche use cases for the go cap I never thought of and I’m here for it 😂☕️

[@sunrainsky5617]

Can you share more on how to get the desired amount of coffee with that?

[@NightFate]

Over several years of regular travel I tried to hone my kit into something like that. I appreciate these being released, so there's now a readymade option for gifting friends/family. In my travel kit, I put the plunger in backwards and put the whole thing in a 12 oz stainless "Elemental Artisan Insulated Tumbler"(Amazon) with ceramic lid . My grinder fits in the plunger with a prismo on top and the lid gets wrapped in a towel, all in a canteen bag with the stirrer, and a scale. It used to be quite compact until I started bringing the collapsible kettle too

[@username566-jb8sx]

I would like to see this setup. I'm trying to find a compact way to carry everything together.

[@BlakEstrada]

The original aero press go still fits amazing in Soto’s thermal stack cup. The thermal stack is an insulated cup that come apart into two cups and allow you to boil water and make your coffee and stack back into a thermal cup after. Best cup for backpacking with an AP or any pour over. The go plus is probably better suited for making coffee at work where you have a kettle. I also wish the stir stick wansnt plastic. I’ll probably replace it with a cop stick

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

I’ll have to check out that stack cup!

[@kerry1383]

So you boil your water in the middle sized mug, then use the smaller inner “thermal” cup to press your coffee into? When not in use you nest everything inside the inner and middle sized pots from the Soto kit? Pretty cool idea, it’s a shame there’d be no room for the stove tho.

[@BlakEstrada]

@@kerry1383 yup then the little one go in the middle size keep it insolated

[@sunrainsky5617]

When you say fits amazingly, are you talking about combining it like how the aeropress go combines with its cup?

[@BlakEstrada]

@@sunrainsky5617 as if the cup from soto was made for the aero press go.

[@daijoubu1986]

Does the 1zipresso q2 still fits into the aeropress go+?

[@gabrielalehle6135]

Usually I'm not a fan of x iterations of the same product, bc in most cases it's just marketing. But I see that Aeropress is also making products that the community was asking for. Bigger Aeropress? Got it! Colorful body? On it! A fancier and higher end Aeropress Go? There you go! If I hadn't bought the og Go just a couple months ago, I'd probably pay more bucks for this. I love hove compact and easy to store and travel with the original is, but I can't get my coffee to go. This solves the problem :D

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

Exactly!

[@brendansmith]

We appreciate your transparency 💪

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

[@FatNorthernBigot]

Honestly, if you work in an office that relies on stewed coffee or (gulp) instant, then the Aeropress is the perfect solution. I was not aware of this version. It looks ideal.

[@KarlaStorm]

Thank you! I’m considering purchasing my first AeroPress for a camping trip and your video was incredibly informative and helpful.

[@amrith10]

If you put in the flow control cap, does it still pack in neatly? Thank you.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

Unfortunately not! I did give them this feedback when I first saw the unit. Would love to see this in the future or even a modified version of the cap for this config. (Current one is about 1/8-1/4 inch too tall)

[@amrith10]

@@DaddyGotCoffee got it. Sort of a deal-breaker for some then. Thank you!

[@MarkEichin]

@@DaddyGotCoffee Yeah, my coffee kit is a repurposed craftsman tool bag, mostly because I include a collapsible silicone kettle (for US hotel-based road trips it's worth the trouble) and *also* a corresponding collection of tea and tea-brewing gear (for variety, and because one of my occasional travel companions prefers tea.) So I don't think I'd ever scale it quite that far down - and yeah, I definitely prefer a metal filter + flow valve - but a thermal mug that actually fits the whole thing is tempting, since most of the other stainless-steel vacuum-wall travel mugs are *just* small enough that the sides of the aeropress can't vent when you're pressing it down...

[@annagilda1]

I paid 32 Australian Dollars for my Go. I love it and i love the filter holder. 80 US bucks for a new Go with less accessories and filters feels pretty sly to be honest.

[@planelvr07]

I just learned about AP several months ago. I ordered the Go plus, i think it will fit in with my travel plans. Thank you for your knowledge & opinions.

I primarily use my aeropress at the office, and this aeropress go seems ideally suited to that use case. I imagine a lot of other aeropress drinkers use it this way as well.

[@karenchui6453]

[@hans-holgervonahlroth]

Does this AP work with the Fellow Prismo?

[@sobeee]

Paper filter vs reusable filter on the aeropress. What's your take?

[@1Selous]

I got the Original ie Mk2 then a later verson, I picked up a Go 5 minutes and the filter holder fell apart, never used the holder after that. I got the XL for Xmas 23 from Mrs for iced brews. My all time favourite is the Standard AP. All 3 of my Original AP came with Tote bags I understood the APGoPlus has extra tabs as you mentioned, and the actual top of the AP. This all tells me it is a different AP with the gasket and the prongs.

[@zwordsman]

Flow control would fit I assume? I prefer that

[@zwordsman]

I'd hate a ceramic lining.. I've never had one that was sturdy enough to not develop small cracks over time of being in a checked baggage.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

They have not released this and I have no idea when it is coming, although I would guess it is in the pipeline somewhere!

[@surrealchemist]

I don't fuss about the coffee as much when I am traveling, but the small Go and pre-ground speciality beans let you get a good cup without too much fuss. I have a small scale, but I think with the aeropress if you just get close enough to the ratio with the scoop to where you fill it up you are close enough that its hard to screw up.

[@stevenswall]

2:40 Is this the same size as the aeropress go? I thought it was 2 oz bigger. They look so close in size in the video but I'm guessing the extra marking labeled 4 on the Plus means it's bigger.

[@alisterlf]

This Aeropress is compatible with the flow control cap?

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

It works but doesn’t stow inside the mug with the lid secured

[@TeddyVanWinkle]

I would LOVE a video talking through your travel coffee setup, as well as exploring other travel accessories and possible demands for coffee making (espresso, no kettle available at location, pour over instead of aeropress, etc.) I’ve been trying to build out a travel kit similar to the one you showed in the video for when I travel, but I’ve found most videos already on KZbin to miss the mark when it comes to assembling a kit capable of doing good beans justice, while still being a reasonable size and weight. I’ll also say, I vastly prefer the old Go’s design to the Go Plus. I would much rather drink out of a plastic cup than a metal tumbler, and the new design isn’t realistic for the demands of backpacking - polypropylene is much lighter and more impact resistant than stainless steel. But I’m happy that both exist concurrently.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

This is a GREAT idea and I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before. I have several travel setups for different reasons. And, I agree. The OG go is a better fit for backpacking

[@TeddyVanWinkle]

@@DaddyGotCoffee Really looking forward to seeing the video, then! Particularly on the subject of heating water when on the road, I feel like we don’t have many options. The Pakt was awesome until it was discontinued. I have a jetboil for camping and backpacking, but you can’t fly with isobutane, nor should you use it indoors. My last hotel didn’t even have a microwave, so I had to use hot water from their pod coffee maker. I’m curious if you have any solutions I’m unaware of, or if the market really is just lacking a good portable kettle aimed at coffee usage.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

@@TeddyVanWinkle I have done the pod coffee machine for hot water lots of times. I re-run the same water through it several times to try and preheat it as much as possible and then will often brew with an aeropress that way

[@TeddyVanWinkle]

@@DaddyGotCoffee Interesting! I have tried running the water through twice, and the machine wouldn’t actually function a second time - either due to the water already being too hot, or the machine not being able to run the heating element again so quickly. I wonder if it’s simply to do with the quality or design of machine.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

@@TeddyVanWinkle yes I think this would depend on machine. Surprisingly I have never had that issue!

[@CaptainGarcia376]

Would a Knock Aergrind be able to store in the plunger of the go plus if I remove the scoop and stirrer?

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

I don’t have one to test, but I have heard this fits in the OG and the inner diameter of the plunger is the same on this one.

[@NightFate]

​@@DaddyGotCoffeethe aergrind/aerspeed sticks out top of the plunger's hollow by about 3.5cm/1.5in so I think everybody asking mean "is there ~3.5cm of space in the bottom of the tumbler with aeropress seated in it?"

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

@@NightFate In this case the answer would be no. It’s pretty tight under there. A flow control cap won’t even fit.

[@chitwngmr]

This is my first video I’ve watched from the channels d I’m and instant fan. Great review of the Go Plus. Truthfully, I’ll likely stick with my Go and Yeti set up (1st AP, by the way and love it more than my French press!). Oh yeah! Love that travel set up! I’m thinking I can do the same within my existing bag… 🤔😁

[@NorthcoastPatty]

I do like that it comes in a black travel cup. I've never had a cup of coffee from an Aero Press. I do a pour over directly into my travel cup with winged filters. I like to make a 16oz coffee and add cream in a 20 oz cup. The reason I have never purchased an Aero Press is I need a bigger cup of coffee.

4:54 I would have agreed back when I went from the regular size to the shorter AP Go. But now I have been using the XL for more coffee in the morning. How about an XL Go? Also, I would rather a tumbler that would do all of that with the Aeropress versions that already existed.

Yup the cap fits all and is roughly equivalent to the prismo less a few differences (the ap cap doesn’t come with a metal filter). More than enough filters fit in the bottom, I haven’t tried to max it out but I think you could easily fit 30-50 in there, if not more?

Of course you could wait a few minutes with the top off to let it cool down, but who wants to wait to drink their coffee in the morning LOL! Still, looks pretty good and sometimes the tumbler would be handy and you don't always find a good cup in many hotels.

I like the concept of the added tumbler but also agree that the plastic bottom base is a major issue for me. I have both a Yeti and a Kleen Kanteen tumbler that get dropped frequently but are built solid and hold up well to the road rash and dings from frequent falls. I know that it would only be a matter of time before that plastic base gets damaged and the tumbler becomes useless to me. If they update the base cap later with a metal one I’d be more prone to purchase it.

I'm really torn. I was always a fan of the idea of the original Aeropress as a way to make coffee while backpacking. But, the original was a little large and heavy and didn't travel well. Then the Go came out and I got one almost immediately. It works great for camping EXCEPT the cup really isn't useful. I take my time when drinking coffee, and typically I camp in the winter, which means my coffee would either get cold or I would need an additional cup with a lid. Now comes the Go Plus. It checks a lot of boxes, but it's heavy. With the current 20% off promotion it's definitely appealing, but I don't know how much use I would get out of it. Does the extra weight make up for the need to no have a second ultralight cup? Time to do some weight tests.

Hi , nice to meet you, i like the review, but my question is a little different, in the new videos of aeropress most of the people use the the pull in the normal position, but i Learn use it in the reverse process and leave the extra air away. For professional mode what your recommendation?

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

What you’re referring to is called “inverted method” it’s not oficially recommended because it’s a lot easier to spill and make a huge mess - BUT a lot of people do it and it does eliminate drip through which has a marginal impact on brew quality. I use the flow control cap/prismo because I’m lazy, it achieves the same thing and makes clean up a lot easier.

[@sunrainsky5617]

You can use a mesh filter (finer than a metal filter). I use the ultimate 13 micron mesh one from Cera. That way, you don't have to worry about dripping in the normal position. Also, the fine mesh prevents more sediments than a normal metal filter.

[@davidsargentcoffee]

Man I’m a huge fan of the Aeropress, and I’ll admit I was one of those who’ve been asking aeropress to release new and different products, but your conclusion to this video helped me realize that was always the enthusiastic nerd in me because the practical side of me still hangs on to my OG aeropress. I haven’t bought an XL, I haven’t bought a clear, nor have I purchased the flow control cap. Not because I never wanted those thing; I just know that the Og aeropress is too good for me to justify adding more clutter into the home. I sit conflicted because the Go Plus looks great. If I didn’t own an Aeropress it’d probably be what I’d jump in with, but it’s a hard sell for me. Thanks for the video.

@@NightFate and I would get the flow control, but I also already own the Hario Switch, so I get my fill of immersion meets filter brew there lol. I’ll probably pick up the flow control to have it for travel but I do love me an inverted method too.

[@ipedros7]

Im finding it hard (as far as these things go). I don't have one yet. Been compelled to get the clear. Ive been waiting a while to see if AP improved on the GO. The go solved a use case at the expense of another. Really, this isn't much better. Just different duplication. and plethora of kit I already have :D . When I think of this fully, the cup, especially the lid and spout, isn't good enough. If I add that if I take this on the road, what do I do with the kit whilst I have my coffee in the cup on the go (that would be any different with the regular AP). The stash is of partial benefit. If I'm using this at work or at home, that cup wouldn't even be second option. So, would I be better off just getting the clear. Maybe pairing it with an existing travel cup or even with the soto thermostack (which I already have and someone mentioned it fits!).

[@swsobon]

What bag/case are you using for your travel setup? I’ve been looking to put together something similar but am having a hard time finding one that I really liked and the one you have seems to be what I’m looking for. If anyone else has recommendations, open to those as well.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

It’s this one and I love it! sttoke.com/products/sidekick

[@allanbennett272]

OK guys I have like a question. Will the aeropress fit or work with one of those short fat yeti coffee mugs or are those two wide?

[@Coycoy]

A tumbler with the Aeropress logo. I want one! 😅

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

Hahahahaha I didn’t consider that as a potential “pro” but…. 🤔☕️🤣

[@ipedros7]

What about a sticker?!

[@stevehanson2546]

I have two of the Aeropress Go's. One lives in my truck, and one lives in my backpack gear. The perfect Aeropress would be the Go with a double wall titanium mug and usable lid. That plastic mug is worthless at keeping coffee warm. This new Plus looks promising but too heavy for backpacking on the lite. My $0.02 Whats the perfect mug that nests with the GO?

[@ipedros7]

Someone mentioned the soto thermostack cups fit! I rate them for the flexibility, they are light and already own the set.

[@0HaNa2M]

I wanna buy a go plus but it is out of stock right now. Any idea where I can get one?

[@Naylor_Element]

Would have been good to see a container for beans inside the centre of the press, or a compact grinder in that same space maybe🤷🏽‍♂️ Just feel that space is wasted by Aeropress, but will still likely buy one haha!

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

I hear you - but I also think they would have been accused of needlessly doing things to increase the price had they done this 🤣 I’ll often throw a couple doses in a ziploc bag and throw it in the middle. I’ve also heard the “knock” grinder fits in the middle and I believe also the timemore slim

[@BloxTube101]

My 1zpresso q2 heptagonal fits perfectly just the handle hangs out which can be folded😊

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

@@BloxTube101 this is great info, thank you for dropping it!

[@robojimtv]

Re: the private equity thing, there were a few changes that were clear money grabs IMO. The number of filters you got in the package was cut down. I remember you used to get 100 or even 200 in many cases. That and the price increase is meh. Some of the new ideas felt rushed or half baked but overall, i think them jumping onto the trend of "same product, multi colors" is ok since they also arent aggressively pushing fake "limited edition" colors for example (looking at Swatch)

[@robojimtv]

Also I have my trusty gold letter aero press still working though I had to finally replace the plunger on mine

[@YasminaReality]

New to this, I am shopping for an aero press. After my last few trips being very disappointed in trying to hunt down coffee. But I can grind at home, and I am not weighing things while i'm traveling. Is this a coffee snob thing? I'm sure I could figure out the grind and amount at home and move on lol. Im getting old.😅 ( I do think I will invest in a travel Kettle, however, because the hotel microwaves and equipment are really starting to gross me out these days.)

[@atomazninja24]

Now I want a bottle that just holds my ordinal aeropress with filter storage on the bottom

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

Yup!

[@Jevongen]

I would also rather drink from an open cup. I find you get a better flavour, maybe because you can smell the coffee better as well as taste it.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

Yup! Most of the time I have used this with the lid off!

[@MrJakubalek]

How deep is the metal cup? I'm asking to know if there is any space in height for small grinder like porlex mini II.

[@jo.comics]

I was hoping you could just buy the travel mug and fit a regular Aeropress in there. This doesn't really blow me away at all, I'd rather just get a decent tumbler then instead of another Aeropress.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

Yeah I hear you and I’m sure you’re not alone here. You can KINDA fit a regular AP in some tumblers by reversing the plunger, but it’s not as clean or secure as this. But a viable option if you don’t want/need a new press!

[@jo.comics]

@@DaddyGotCoffee That's the trouble I've found with most tumblers and it would've been cool to get fix this way but alas. I'm just using a Fellow tumbler now instead, works fine but I can't fit anything in it.

[@goemboeck]

I'm massively sceptic about Aeropress because of the microplastic fantastic. The new Premium non-plastic so I may finally give Aeropress a try.

[@GregHatayama]

Hows yhe stability for an inverted recipe?

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

I mean it’s marginally less with the smaller plunger, but in a practical sense, if you accidentally bump it hard enough to actually tip it over, that would likely also tip the OG

[@NoZenith]

Heya daddy, Going to make a camping set up. I was hesitant to purchase pretty much anything out there but i'm here for this review

[@RedSox911]

Can anyone tell me how many ounces the tumbler holds? Thanks.

[@khug]

This was a fantastic review and I think you're 💯spot-on wrt the OG negativity. Excited for my Go Plus to arrive 🙂 That photo looks like The Grotto (lived near there in the 90s) - beautiful spot!

[@johnferrer42]

The squarish cup allows for easier pouring. And the smaller size of the brewer is a preference thing. But for everything else, the Go+ looks superior.

[@BiO811HazarD]

The problem I have with companies like Stanley and now Aeropress constantly releasing new versions or new colors is the excess waste it creates. I really like the look of the Go Plus, but I already own the original Aeropress. I can’t justify buying the Go Plus when I know the Aeropress I own would probably never get touched again. What would make me buy the new product is a trade in system (sorta like Apple has with the iPhone) where I can trade in my current Aeropress for the company to recycle and in return I get a discount on my purchase of the Go Plus. I know there is a 99.999% chance that never happens, but that just means there’s only a 0.001% chance I buy another product from Aeropress.

[@tomgreen2058]

A ceramic cup on a travel mug doesn't seem like the best idea for me, I think the decision to make it a vacuum insulated stainless steel one is far more sensible. Well tried with the critiques I guess but it really felt like you were scraping the barrel with them.

[@DaddyGotCoffee]

I’m talking about ceramic lined, which is still a stainless cup underneath. Just with a ceramic coating over top. They are just as durable as stainless mugs 💪

[@tomgreen2058]

@@DaddyGotCoffee I didn't even know those were a thing!

[@capyboppy]

@@DaddyGotCoffeeI’ve recently bought my first ceramic lined mug and love it. I thought maybe it was all hype about them and I did various tests and I could tell the difference. I’m new to your channel- came across it by accident and have now subscribed as I like your direct simplicity and ‘easy to watch’ style.
