Sad Aeropress noises... I really hope someone builds a metal or glass Aeropress, because I love everything about it but the fact I'm boiling plastic every morning...
I bought a silly machine, a Faema Jubilee, and the only other I seriously considered was a Linear Mini.
Since then I talked with a repair tech and have seen inside both.
The Linear is an amazing machine but the combo of having lots of plastic parts and lots of computerisation makes me wonder about longevity. High heat and plastic is rarely a great combo. The tech hated working on the Linea, and I can’t get past its fake brew paddle. No regrets on the Faema, it’s a beautiful machine and all the faults in its coffee are due to me, not the machine.
