    I tend to reuse my paper filters anyway, I think my record is something like 20 cups. I did lose an end cap once, I left it in the kitchen and the cleaner chucked it in the bin...
    I'm going to order this, has two discs with different grades of mesh: https://www.amazon.co.uk/KOFFI-DISC-MESH-FINE-Stainless/dp/B01MQ6XYSO/

    Back on original topic, If Mr Apollo can get Mrs Apollo using an Aeropress it will probably be a hit, but I understand that it might not have the 'wow factor' for a birthday present as a Nespresso machine would.

    Blimey.
    What's wrong with one of these?
    Looks cool.
    Great coffee.
    I use it at home and take it camping.
    If you like strong coffee, 4 cups? Haha - 1 mug. :)

    What is that? Is it a round version of the normally hexagonal Mocha-pot?

    Thanks for the comments, it hadn't occurred to me that Mrs A would secretly be wanting some power tools, but now you come to mention it, I may just be missing the subtle hints... Failing that, the Handpress and Aeropress coffee makers may be almost as good as an angle-grinder. As we drive back across France to the UK a couple of times a year, in a rather dull Citroen, coffee on the go, that doesn't come from a service station vending machine can only be a win. Unfortunately, she will probably also be getting a new fridge, ours has just given up the ghost. Apparently, the old camping fridge, aka a bucket of water with a wet tea towel laid over it isn't a suitable replacement.

  9. My aeropress was a birthday present and I was well chuffed.. metal gauze is a good extra .. no waste bits of paper, makes nice coffee too.. a coffee pot is good but then we can use one kettle to make tea and coffee.. Mrs Deefer not keen on coffee

  11. Mocha-pot for me when camping, got a nice bean to cup when at home.

    Looked at the 12v options and didn’t find anything that was suitable.
