It's probably worth paying the extra for the Porlex. It's generally the recommended grinder at the budget end of the scale, it's solidly built so will withstand a bit of abuse in the tackle bag. They're not the quickest but for me it does the job.

Been using an Aeropress in work since reading about it on here few years back. There’s no going back to instant. Even bought myself a grinder 😎
It’s time I got another for the bank. That Porex looks good but don’t fancy paying that much unless I have to. Are their cheaper decent alternatives about, preferably that will fit inside the Aeropress. Manual only.
Cheers

The inverted method is absolutely the way to go, the seal never leaks and this way jus makes it so easy👍👍

Aeropress stock here. Just bought ANOTHER one 
Out of interest, does anyone use the inverted/upside down method? I'm not sure I'd trust the seal personally...

I prefer a moka pot but I got my aeropress from a local harris&hoole coffee shop, think it was £22 and I got a coffee free with it
If your in the plaatic/metal cup brigade you might aswell stick with the nescafe original

OMG if I ever see an angler with a cup and saucer, I'll know it can only be you. Should it ever happen that I spot you on a lake, I'll run to the nearest tea shop and bring you back a silver tray of crust cut sandwiches and fresh cream cakes. 🤣🤣🤣

Deadly serious, metal/plastic cups are the work of the devil.
Tea tastes miles better from a nice cup and saucer but that would be pushing things down the lake lol

I'm glad I'm not alone in this (hope your post wasn't a joke, lol) but I can't drink a great coffee from a plastic or metal cup/mug. I was going to buy the trakker brew set until I realised that it has plastic mugs in it (what the f@#k is that all about🤣  .
I'll be plumbing for the korda 2 mug set (when it gets released) or the fox set purely as they have proper mugs in the set. Looks like I'll be searching for a decent price on the aeropress too.😁👍

Some of us like a bit of sophistication, even when covered in slime, it's great to have a celebratory cuppa from a nice china cup as well. None of that milky tea stuff with the brown crap floating on the top, errgghh and definitely no metal mug for me
Another vote for the Aeropress. I keep one as a spare to use at home for when the BTC machine goes wrong along with a Lavazza milk frother/heater thing which is bloody marvelous, albeit a bit pricey.
Edit - those plastic cup/coffee filter things are OK as well, and convenient.

Coffee is my life. From my experience, it is best to make your own. This is how you make sure you drink a good quality and fresh coffee.

Finally went and bought a Stanley thermos. Now I just make a good brew at home and its still hot at least 40 hours later

Aeropress fan here too
If you're really anal about your coffee the Porlex grinder fits neatly inside the main body of the Aeropress so you can grind your own beans on the bank

I have an Aeropress - very good although it doesn't make a mug full - you have to add a bit of water (pernickety or what?).
I have an Espro which makes a mug full, is insulated so is great for the winter where the Aeropress cools too much. It doesn't use filter papers. Not as easy to clean as the Aeropress. Make great coffee though and you can drink it from the insulated press itself if you want.
I have a V60 dripper. Simplest way to make good coffee but not good in the cold.
I also have a small stainless cafetiere which now resides in the junk box.
The hardest choice is which coffee to brew (I usually have a couple on the go)

An update: Had an Aeropress for about 2 weeks now, feels longer, and it's been on bank with me '0' times... it lives in the kitchen; BEST INVENTION EVER.
Will shortly be ordering another for my food bag
Thanks for the recommendation - genuinely has to be tasted to be believed, produces one of the best cups of coffee I have ever tasted. I literally can't drink instant anymore, I go without.

Just because I am on the bank of a lake blanking and bored
I have read a lot of reviews and watch videos and basically it’s a load of rubbish so don’t waste your money no wonder they are now reduced to 11 quid. They are rubbish apparently

You can get cheaper versions of the aeropress from ebay, i have 2 both work fine. One at home and one that lives in my rucksack. If i have enough milk, you can't beat a latte on the bank first thing!

The aeropress is by far the cheapest and most effective way to make real coffee. The device itself is actually a professional bit of kit and there are world championships to compete using it to make different tasting cups.
One thing you do need is decent coffee to go in it. Look at places like coffee compass and rave coffee (blended coffee as it's cheaper). Order pre ground coffee (you can even pick four it to be ground for the aeropress) and take it with you bankside.

I cant stand instant coffee so do what I did, buy coffee bags, much easier than messing about with even more kit, they taste great and take up no space.

For £12, it's unbeatable.
Got one as I can't stand instant coffee and cheaper then breaking an aeropress.

Aeropress. Had mine absolutely ages, use it daily and have only had to change the plunger seal once. Just bought the travel version to leave in with my tackle. In my view a solid buy if you like fresh coffee

Hi guys,
Lockdown has spoiled me and I'm missing fresh, filter coffee on the bank... I've been looking at the Chub coffee maker. Any users or can anyone recommend me an alternative?
Cheers!
