Pros
Pro Great for people who want to skip the tedious steps of making coffee
This coffee maker uses a capsule system, which removes some of the required steps for making a delicious cup of coffee. You won't need to select beans or grind them, all you need to do is choose the capsule flavor, input one of the 6 preset settings on the touchscreen and pour a cup of coffee.
Pro Saves time when making coffee
This coffee maker uses a fast-heating thermoblock, which allows you to make coffee in 25 seconds and milk drinks in 40 seconds.
Pro Won't make you waste your milk
Some coffee makers have a milk container that can't be removed. Fortunately, this coffee maker has a removable milk carafe, allowing you to store the leftover milk in the fridge for later use.
Pro Can make a decent variety of drinks
You can choose between ristretto, espresso, lungo, cappuccino, and latte. You can also pour just hot milk or hot water for use with tea.
Pro Many different ways to customize the brew to your liking
The Aeropress makes use of manually applied pressure to force-filter coffee grounds. During the process, the Aeropress allows you to tweak the pressure, water temperature, ground size, pouring rate and timing which results in a very customized flavor. This feature inspired coffee-making competitions such as the Aeropress Cup to make the best cup of coffee using only the Aerobie Areopress.
Pro Great for taking on the road with you
The Aerobee Aeropress is made out of high quality polypropylene plastic which makes it durable. Unlike most coffee makers, the Aeropress can take a beating so you can toss it in your bag and and bring it anywhere you need it.
The Aeropress even has an included pouch where you can carry all the parts so you are ready to brew coffee anywhere you have hot water.
Pro Fast and easy to clean up
After a cup is brewed, the used grounds and filter paper form a dense puck-shaped mass that can be disposed of easily. Having a quick clean up time is very useful when you’re making coffee on the go.
Pro Makes great tasting coffee
Much like an espresso machine, the Aerobee Aeropress yields strong and flavorful coffee by forcing water through fine coffee grounds. It allows the water to absorb the flavor before the bitterness can be released.
Pro Tons of great aftermarket accessories
The PRISMO is a must buy.
Pro Can make a cup of coffee in under 1 minute
The Aerobie AeroPress can use a very quick brewing method thanks to its convenient design. You just have to fill up its tube, press down on the pump, and the coffee will be extracted using pressure.
Cons
Con More expensive in the long run
The Nespresso capsules cost more than buying high quality coffee beans in bulk. Over time the difference in price will considerably add up. While there are cheaper capsules available, none of them deliver the same taste as the Nespresso capsules.
Con Can only be used with capsules
You won't be able to use regular coffee with this coffee maker. This can be quite inconvenient if you ever forget to restock the capsules, since most stores don't sell them.
Con Can be difficult to position
This coffee maker has a short power cord (17.7"/45cm), which requires you to position it very close to an outlet. If there's no handy spot on the counter with an outlet nearby, you'll be forced to use an extension cord.
Con You can't make a latte without foam
This coffee maker has no setting for making a latte without foam. You can only choose between a small or a large amount of foam.
Con Requires you to buy filters separately
It requires the use of disposable filters to make a cup of coffee. It's quite affordable though, because 700 paper filters only cost around $10. As such, it will hardly drain your savings but if you want a reusable metal filter to reduce your waste and expenses, third party manufacturers can provide them at around $10 each.
