Crazy easy to clean. Press the coffee into the cup, remove the filter cap jobber, press the grounds and filter out into the trash. Rinse it off & you're good to go for round 2

We have used an aeropress for a few years and they are pretty great. My only gripe is that to get a decent cup of coffee you have to make a small amount of strong coffee and then do a dilution. The coffee always ends up tasting decent, but it always feels a bit thinner than perked or even pour over. For the speed to cup though, I don't think it can be beat.
My current recipe for success is 1 scoop of peerless espresso roast + one scoop of Community pecan praline, inverted aeropress, 4:30 soak, press through and a light step on with more hot water

I read through some of these just to get a starting point on coffee amounts and soak times

Just an FYI too.. if you don't want to hunt down filters for the aeropress, you can just go to a craft store and buy a 2.5" circle punch meant for scrapbooking and use normal ultra cheap basket filters and just punch your own. I've noticed that the unbleached paper basket filters tend to flow a little better for finer grinds than the aeropress poly filters.

What???

Dump out the grinds, unscrew the plunger bits, and rinse everything. Takes 30 secs.

Surely, you don't use dish soap on your coffee gear?
