today we're gonna review this as the
Aeropress go the brand new arrow press
the first I think new product they've
made in quite some time it's a new
version of the arrow press and if I'm
honest I'm not sure I entirely
understand it now in their own words
this is the better travel copy press and
I think that's a really interesting
decision because as far as I could tell
most people already really liked the
arrow press as a travel brewer it was
really easy to travel with it was light
it was plastic it was hard to break you
could get a grinder inside it if you sir
like a Paul X or something like that and
people really liked traveling with it I
didn't feel like there was a problem
traveling with it so it's interesting to
me the arrow pressed shows for a new
model to pursue a better travel version
so let's see what's inside the box so
you get so you get this which is which
is the whole thing right like that the
idea it's like an all-in-one travel
solution so here you go red lid that
keeps everything together you've got a
little sort of papers holder that
doesn't hold it that many papers but you
can comfortably get maybe 1520 filters
in this thing inside here you've got
then your arrow press which is a little
bit smaller than a traditional arrow
press you've had your all-important
coffee scoop and you've got your brand
new stirrer for for stirring I guess
that way that way for stirring very
important go stir and then you've got
this which is your travel cup so the
idea is that you'd be bringing on top of
this so it's kind of all in one now I'm
still just a little bit confused but
before I explain that I should just talk
through how they maybe change this
compared to the original I should clear
some space
[Music]
so this is an original Aeropress and
it's obviously a little bit taller I'm
surprised because I kind of feel one of
the most common complaints about the
Aeropress is that people wish it brewed
more coffee right they wish it was
bigger that they find the serving size a
little bit small so the decision to
shrink it is an interesting one right
like a smaller arrow presses I feel like
something no one was really asking for
aside from that they've changed the sort
of at the top of this to make this a
little bit narrower so it's it's still
perfectly comfortable to plunge with the
plunger dimensions are still exactly the
same which is good news right this is a
good thing it means that all of the
fittings and fixtures of this thing all
of the replaceable is like the little
rubber plunger they it's one part right
like if you don't need to buy a
different part it's just one thing and
again the filter holder paper holder at
the bottom has changed very slightly
it's still the same size it still takes
the same papers but the new one has
interestingly a sort of a blanked hole
right in the middle which I don't know
that doesn't seem necessary there's a
change I feel like does this actually
yeah yeah the original fits completely
fine I don't I don't ask you know
whether they change that it looks like
there's actually less open surface area
on the new one right so this actual
piece will be providing a little bit
more resistance so that's a that's an
interesting choice to make but it's the
same size right it's the same papers
you'd have to buy different papers
there's none of that
by and large it's there's no kind of
cheeky trying to sell you new stuff here
right they've just made a shorter arrow
press they sort of whopped
the top off they've changed that the
sort of sort of shapes down here again I
think just to make it narrower so that
it all fits inside a cup now I will
promise you I'll brew some coffee and I
promise you that at some point I will I
promise
talk about how I brew coffee with an
arrow press and maybe give some brewing
technique and guide
there this is not that video there so
I'm not going to talk about how to brew
with an arrow press I'm just going to
talk about this arrow press you are now
free to go
I think about a travel Brewer and I
think about the situations in which I
might use a travel Brewer I might use
one traveling though to be honest
traveling usually means I'm in a hotel
of some sort and making coffee there or
to some people travel might be suitable
for sort of the office right like no one
really likes an iced coffee at work but
you do so you take your own Brewer and
you do your own stuff but you do it at
work
I guess this camping which is the thing
that some people do some of the time and
then what's left
I mean people make arrow presses on
airplanes which I find astonishing
fascinating terrifying in all of those
situations in very few cases am I
missing a cup right like that's that's
the kind of big change in this set up
which is you always have some sort of
drinking vessel with you but if I'm in a
hotel if I'm in an office if I'm
actually on an aeroplane I probably can
have access to a cup of some sort that's
not really the problem that I have I'm
intrigued that this was the solution
that they went for right which required
shrinking a device that people already
thought was a little bit small and they
didn't really in my opinion sort of look
at some of the other challenges people
have the biggest one for most people is
that you need if you care about coffee
you need to have a grinder right and the
old arrow press was great because it was
just big and open and you could get a
grinder inside it and that was a nice
way to sort of travel he could tuck some
papers down the side of there to get
your little hand grinder in there and
then as a pretty all in one bundle you
just needed coffee beans hot water and a
cup I'm so surprised that air press
didn't go for a unit where they had
sourced a nice little grinder to go
inside this and that was part of the
whole travel deal that that you know
they'd built something specifically to
fit inside here I feel like that's the
big wind and right now I don't know of
any grinder that will fit inside this
because when it's all put together you
can't have anything sticking out right
like it's got to fit exactly in this
little space and that's a little bit
frustrating to me now I'm not picking on
the
bro I'm not being negative about it it's
still an arrow press it still bruise
very good coffee if you use it right I'm
just surprised that with a new product
they taste such a narrow use case of
like I have everything I need except a
cup right that's the big innovation here
like I have everything I need except a
cup and it's nice that the stirrer folds
down now that's kind of useful and if I
had both I'd get rid of the original
stirrer and just keep this around like
that's better this is a cute way to keep
your papers because it was always
annoying when you were traveling and
your papers got kind of crumpled up and
damaged or often a little bit damp that
always drove me crazy but the cup I'm
not sure I need a cup I'm not sure I
need a cup but let's drink out of the
cup that's kind of what's missing here I
should make some coffee with this now
because it's smaller there are really
two ways to brew the Aeropress right
like you can breathe the traditional way
we put coffee and hot water in or you
can do what's called the inverted method
where you take the cap off and you sort
of stand it up like that and you brew in
that way and people do the inverted
method because essentially you have a
much better infusion because no liquid
can leak through the paper into the cup
below the downside of an inversion brew
is that you shrink the volume capacity
of this brewer and because this is
already smaller I'm definitely not going
to do an inversion brew so I'm
definitely gonna pour the traditional
way
so despite appearances to the contrary
I'm now organized I have rinsed my
filter paper this is ready to go on top
of my cup I have 15 grams of a
reasonably fine coffee I'm gonna add 200
mils because this is an infusion brewer
to me so 75 grams per liter makes sense
and away we go so we're gonna add my
full water see how full 200 grams is in
this thing oh it's gonna be full
give this a little stir don't know where
to put this maybe that's what we
sacrificed the lid for and then lid on
and now we wait now I like to infuse for
about a minute in these situations with
this kind of grand setting the air press
is really about marrying your grind size
in your infusion time
I would recommend not too much agitation
in terms of stirring enough to make sure
that all the coffee and all the waterer
are in contact but not so much that
you're doing a lot of work with that
kind of extraction I just don't really
love that the taste of it before we stir
and plunge always take it off the scales
because you don't to be pressing on the
scales it's very bad its robust hey
break a scale give this one little stir
and then we're gonna gently from an
awkward seated position press it's very
exciting to watch me do this isn't it
turn it upside down leave it there for a
minute leave it there no interesting to
me to note that we were close to the
capacity of that brewer but we're about
halfway up the cup I mean it's it's this
is kind of pointless this is not a
review of the brewer we all know the
Aeropress is a good Brewer we know
there's a competition devoted to it for
good reason it's a it's a great play
thing but this is about the changes
they've made the cup that they've
included the decisions in some of their
design that I just don't necessarily get
let's turn to a little sip it's not a
it's not a stunning drinking experience
it's not a really particularly smooth
edge on the cup
so actually beautifully finished in that
regard there's little little bits on
mine that I'm not stunned by it's not a
bad drinking experience but but it's not
elevating it in that regard
okay it's okay I mean the coffee's good
that's a course a given so let's answer
the question should you get an arrow
press go and one it's an arrow press if
you like the way the arrow press brews
it's an arrow press still it's just a
little bit smaller if your problem with
the arrow press has been that you lose
papers that you find it hard to keep it
all together that you are often
struggling for something to drink your
brew out of yes this is a good choice
this is a nice neat little setup it's
cute the way everything packs together
it looks good I like the red cap yes
if you wish the Aeropress was bigger if
you wish the Aeropress
was more compatible with a grinder of
some sort was easier to get a grinder
inside or travel with this is not for
you and I'm probably in the latter camp
if I'm honest you know like I I would
probably fast traveling and I needed to
throw an arrow press in my bag I would
throw an original arrow press in my bag
I still wouldn't like the Brewer it's a
good Brewer maybe it's just me maybe I
just don't get it maybe you're watching
this and thinking I'm an idiot for not
seeing the advantages here let me know
let me know down in the comments below
now this review is powered by patreon I
bought this they offered to send me one
for free and I said no I'd like to buy
it
and I did and so this way I feel
comfortable telling you how I feel about
it and this is going to be given away to
one of my patreon backers thank you to
all of them for supporting this channel
letting me do these reviews I really
appreciate it
but what do you think do you want one
would you like an original Aeropress
does this solve a problem for you did
you buy one already be tried it let me
know what you think I'd be really
interested in your comments down below
but I say for now thank you so much for
watching and I hope you have a great day
