I love my AeroPress. It makes some of the best coffee ever. But I had to stop. Putting hot water in a plastic cup everyday for coffee? I wish there was a metal version. I’ll still use it once every so many months. But the plastic nature of the contraption has turned me away.

Same feeling here. High acidity hot coffee, at that. Plus the rubber seal was starting to degrade on mine

You can buy a replacement rubber end from the manufacturer for about $8 shipped.

My home-made coffee progression:

Automatic drip

French Press

Aeropress

Pour-over (using a Hario v60, Chemex filters, and a cheap, non-Hario Gooseneck kettle)

Next will be a home espresso setup if I can ever get rich enough to justify having one.

I'm surprised there isn't a premium version available. There's surely a huge market for people willing to spend ~$100 on a non-plastic version.
