    …and heavier, and less durable, and again much, much more expensive.

    And a grating metal-on-glass sound when putting the cap on.

        I couldn’t hear it in the video, but imagine if you’re working with this every day, and hearing the scraping sound and feeling it through your fingers.

        I think a big part of the Aeropress’s appeal is how satisfying it is in both tactile and audio senses.

        When you twist tight the cap on a AP classic, it feels satisfyingly tight, and you instinctively know that it’s sealed.

        Which reminds me that James briefly commented on how hot the metal cap was after brewing.

        Another un-satisfying thing about the AP Premium.

        That’s James for you though. He places a lot of value on the “feel” of materials and tools.
