However, it’s four times the price of the original coffee maker, which some will find hard to justify. Launched at £160, the AeroPress Steel is one of several AeroPress models, all of which function in the same fundamental way. The additional weight that the AeroPress Steel brings doesn’t make an awful lot of difference to its ease of use. I’ve been using the AeroPress Manual Coffee Grinder, which I’ve been reviewing alongside the AeroPress Steel, and grinding at a medium-fine consistency at the grinder’s recommended AeroPress setting. I was also keen to compare the AeroPress Steel with my older AeroPress Original side by side.
