In reply to Mark J. Thanks Mark! We just learned about the vacuum trick recently and have been meaning to update this post with it. Hopefully, we can get around to that soon. Also, good to know about the fully-depressed storage option. Thank you for sharing.

Get the best of both worlds: I find that placing the plunger just slightly into place while using the “traditional method” will quickly form a partial vacuum inside and nothing drips into the cup — you can then choose how long to let it steep before plunging.

Also, instead of storing the parts separately, you can certainly keep the plunger in the chamber if you’re diligent about pressing the plunger all the way down until the seal “pops” free. At that point it’s fully expanded and you’ll have no worries about unwanted gasket compression. I even verified this with Aeropress support.

Thank you for all you do!! I LOVE your recipes and recommendations. What a gift you are to the camping and backpacking community.

In reply to Lisa O. Could not agree with you more! The clean up was always our biggest hang-up with makeing "good" coffee while camping. The Aeropress solves that issue entirely. So glad we converted over.

Aeropress solved all of my camp coffee problems! Never liked to deal with the grounds from a French press or pour over method, so typically used Starbucks Vias. Aeropress gives us GREAT coffee and super easy clean up without wasting water for cleaning and a neat little package for disposing of grinds. LOVE.

These look great, I’ve never used one before but it seems simple enough and anything to get a decent brew. I admit when I’m camping I usually take my stovetop (moka pot) but it doesn’t pack that well for backpacking so this might be the better option.

Yes!! I just recently converted to the aeropress and I’m loving it. Haven’t tried it on a hike yet, but it’s gunna be a heck of a lot better than taking a little bag of instant coffee, which is what we’ve always done in the past. Bring on the summer camping!
