Thanks for the explanation. Looks pretty damn cool to me. Do you fly such beasties?

Ah - daft question then. It's scary to think that there's something even better to replace it.

+1. As Randy has said elsewhere, the Espro Press made my 8-oz press pot obsolete. Full body, oils, without the flavor occlusion I often experience in a press pot.

I also like pourovers with the KONE or generic white papers as well as vacpots but that is probably too far afield for 'presso drinkers.

PS. They retired the SR-71? My world had frozen in time. Guess the F-4 and EB-66 are finished as well...

I have been enjoying the aeropress. I am actually drinking a cup right now. It has body more similar to paper drip (using the paper filter. Heavier body with Coava's metal Disk) but the same big flavors of espresso and clarity of press/cupping. Not exactly a substitute to espresso, since the coffee can get lost in a 5oz cup of steamed milk, but equally delicious.
