    This makes so much more sense than that ridiculous glass version.

    I’m guessing that Aeropress has lost a ton of market share to the Oxo Rapid Brewer (which appears to be superior to the Aeropress in everyway). Aeropress is now scrambling with any and all ideas to try to recall market share.

      The aeropress never made coffee well because it used pressure. It excelled at being a faster cafetière/french press with a paper filter and easier clean up. Outside of large metal lever brewers steams they only way to get pressure that will impact a brew significantly. The oxo rapid brew is more mechanically complex, harder to clean and can only brew a limited set of ways the aeropress can. I don’t think it will out compete the aeropress.
