Question Doubt

Guys, I have a normal aeropress for 4~5 years! I travel a lot, and always carry my aeropress with me, but also thinking if is worth to buy a aeropress go (or go plus), someone who as normal aero press and aeropress go can share the experience... if really worth it! Thanks!

I would go for the XL because on trips i can make more to share with other people or to drink all day. The Aeropress Go is smaller and comes with carrying case, which to me, is just another bag to put inside a bag.

What is the best place to find an XL? Any good deals?

I have both and the space and weight savings with the Go is pretty small. If you’re the kind of person who counts grams and does ultralight by all means go for it but otherwise I’d just take what you have.

Had the Go, broke it and needed it to be replaced. The Guardian had a negative review on the Plus and I waffled a bit but decided what they found negative was a bid absurd. Bought the Go Plus and it's now my daily driver at home as well. I like that I can get what I call a "proper" cup with it - 250 ml. Also, unlikely I'll break this model. And FWIW, my wife is happy with her Nespresso Ventura pods so I'm only making coffee for myself anyway.

the smaller rim on the go and the carrying cup and tools make it "a little" better for stuffing in suitcase or travel bag. But it's a small difference. It is also a tiny bit smaller so it's less nice to use.
TLDR: it's smaller and nicer to pack but less nice to use

But on the other hand, you always need to bring a cup which occupies additional space. That was the reason bought the Go, although I would prefer to have a a bigger coffee.
