    The inventor and original owner of the company didn’t get it either, AFAIK. He resisted a lot of things that makes aeropress more expensive just for the sake of it. Well he had to cash out sooner or later and this became of it.

    Now I might be talking out of my ass, based on half unremembered internet tales.

    But here’s my own opinion on this: premium aeropress is just for people to showboat they have money.

    I would instead pay for big aeropress though. Makes it easier to share coffee.

      Oh, I get the business side of it. I don’t get people wanting this, but I guess I’m just not into showboating, like you said.

      I know he also didn’t want a bigger one, you’re “supposed to” use the bypass method. Which works really well, in my experience.
