I almost listed this as mine. The design is still really good for the cost. Ease of use / cleaning / disposing of grounds is a smart design. I accept that the seal will wear, I actually think not over-engineering the seal and making it triple the price adds to the design.
- bittercynic 5y agoIt's not too hard to get a replacement rubber seal, and easy to swap in the new part. They say it will last longer if you don't store it with the seal compressed in the tube, but I always leave it like that and it still lasts years.
- jtwaleson 5y agoIf you just push it all the way through, the tip of the seal won't be compressed. No effort to do it like that.
- masklinn 5y agoI don't really understand why you'd do that though, do you not rinse the press after every use? Just stow it with the pieces separated unless it's in "travel mode" no?
- jtwaleson 5y agoWell, the beauty of aeropress is that you don't have to rinse the inside of the cilinder every time. It cleans itself. Most of the time I just clean the rubber. Also, storing them separated takes more space in the cupboard.
