That’s actually the only Aeropress I own so I’m not sure if the original one is actually less portable, but I like how compact the whole thing can get, which is ideal in common areas where you do not want to take up too much space

The reverse method is still a little too messy, especially if you need to do it outside home, so I guess I’ll stick with the normal method.

It’s still pretty simple and easy to do, and if finally saved me by local Italian over-roasted espressos 🙏

I’ve tested it for a while. My thought is that Aeropress really saves you in situations where actually you can’t have precise measurements and fancy equipments, that is an office where you can’t weight things and you have to measure quantities very roughly by eye

In this kind of situation I really can’t see how the reversed method improves the process. Everything is so simple and approximate that loosing some drops of water on the bottom really doesn’t change much.

Also, just using a 2 filters and creating a vacuum I guess is enough to cancel even that issue

I agree, it really is. It's really one of the reasons why I bought it. It's really easy to make a decent cup of coffee.
