Weirdly, I’ve never had an issue with it. The dishwasher seems to get it clean every time. shrug
It must be a hand-washing problem that you are too dishwasher to understand
eh? I must be too dishwasher to get the joke.

Pro tip: Don't consume caffeine within about 1 hour of waking up. Waiting a bit gives your body time to clean up the sleep chemicals and get started on the being awake chemicals before you start adding to the mix.
There are a lot of articles about this out there (here's one), but they all say more or less the same thing, as far as I've been able to tell.
Oh, interesting! I’m very, very guilty of doing the opposite of that. Making coffee is always the first activity of the day for me.

How do people like aeropresses overall?
Dunno but I love mine!
Love mine. Especially for cleanup and time it takes to brew. Very happy with it. I have a French Press and a ceramic filter I use once in a while, but if it’s just me the aero press wins over.
Same reasons why I ditched my French Press. Moka Pot can be messy and seems like a more involved process. Aeropress is such an easier and cleaner process.

Honestly I love mine, it's cheap, easy, and there are many variations of the brewing method you can use to suit your tastes.
Only downside is that it makes ones cup at a time if that matters to you.

I mean, you can make 4 cups at a time if you use the OG instructions instead of the French press type methods.
i love mine but i want to ditch pressure+heat in plastic. wondering if moka is the way to go, but really just wish they made aeropress with other materials!
There’s going to be a glass one released, if it hasn’t already come out yet.
omg. you just made my whole week 🥰😭
Happy to oblige :)

What’s the problem with pressure+heat? In these kinds or pressures and temperatures, the plastic appears to be strong enough to handle it well enough.

Have you tried inverted method? It allows you to steep longer, thus extract more coffee.
I have! although I prefer the plunger/suction method. 95% of the water stays in and I don't have to bother with flipping it!

I have tried that too, but never really saw the value in that, although that could be because my lack in tasting skills.
I’m grinding fairly fine (1.1 in the Aergrind), which seems to clog up the paper filter to such an extent that dripping is very slow. I also stir a lot to make extraction a bit faster, so I would say that I haven’t had trouble with extracting enough in the upright configuration.
I usually grind a little bit coarse, hence using the conventional method will drain my water fast. That's why inverted is a suitable method for me.
But, if you prefer finer ground, then I suggest conventional upright method.
That's the beauty of Aeropress, you can modify your brewing method to suits your needs.

What an nifty cup!
I might do the same, the drip coffee I make (primarily for my wife who prefers quantity over quality) does not scratch the itch like the aeropress does.
How do people like aeropresses over all?
Dunno but I like mine a lot! If you want to learn more about them check out James Hoffman on YouTube.
How often do you use your aero? I have one but I pretty much stopped using it once I got my v60. Does it have any advantages in brew or anything?
Multiple times a day! I like it because it's quick to brew, makes a clean, tasty cup of coffee, and very little to clean up when I'm done. Haven't really looked into a Hario or pour over too much but I've been fairly happy with my aeropress. IMO it's like a French press and gives a nice full-body brew but without the oil or fines in the bottom of the cup.
V60 is easier cleanup and even cleaner brew but a total rabbit hole of fiddlyness
easier cleanup than an aero press?! I didn’t think it could get easier! The one thing stopping me from getting into harios now is the fact that I just got a fellow kettle but I opted for the non-gooseneck model. No way I’m getting a second one to make the switch to pour overs. I’ll just have to be content with my Corvo.
Yeah same here except I went to the Hario Mugen. Stupid easy and so good.
I've heard the name, but don't know anything about it.
What is it, and what does it do?
It's a coffee brewer -- you put the grounds into the tube, stir and then plunge making an espresso-like brew. You can also use it to steep and it results in a mug close to a French press minus the oil and fines (because it's filtered).

Thanks op, this motivated me to finally get off my butt and clean my aeropress. With leftover donuts too :)
