Is the cup mouth wide enough so I could use my aeropress directly? Aeropress has a funnel, but I'm afraid the mouth is not as wider as the funnel need

The mug is very narrow, much too narrow for the AeroPress itself, and also too narrow for the funnel.As an aside, it's funny: I'd never considered using the funnel for fitting the AeroPress over narrower mugs...I only used it to put grounds into the tube. But I just tested it, and darned if the hexagonal shape of the bottom ridge of the AeroPress didn't fit exactly into the funnel top...the things you learn!

I don't believe so because most Aeropresses have dia. of 4.5 inches which is larger than the mouth of the Zojirushi!!Hope this helps. P.S. the travel mug is wonderful!

It does not fit. I use the Aeropress funnel on top of a smaller funnel to press into the travel mug. The 12oz version is my favorite travel mug to date. Aeropress everyday.

Well...the white cup that sits inside the lid is 1 1/2 inches wide measured inside. Hope that helps.

I have been making it in an aeropress for the last two years. Two scoops of coffee and fill the water up to the 4-shot line...perfect day starter.

I'm not familiar with Aero Press and am not certain I understand what you're trying to do, but the opening at the top of the carafe is just under 1.5 inches (I just measured it). The carafe itself is 10 inches tall.

I just measured the bottom where the cup would go, and to ME, it looks like 3 3/4 would be just a little over the limit. It is so close that I cannot in good conscience, say yes. By the way, I found that using a cone shaped filter #4 makes a more clear cup of coffee. The strainer in the bottom lets some grounds through the screen, which probably could benefit from a tighter mesh. This is not my main source of coffee, but a spur of the moment wish for a quick cup. I usually use a 12 cup brewer.Hope this helps.

I've never had that issue, but if you make a large helping of coffee, I suppose you could. I would use a tall, not so wide, mug in that case. Maybe one of those travel mugs.

I put a 7-5/8" straw in the hole and it fits, however, it's a little to short to sip the coffee out. You will need a longer straw to draw out the liquid. When drinking and the top is pushed back it does hang over the edge of the cup and it snaps and locks in place. Hope this helps you!

The aeropress doesn't really make express. It's concentrated coffee. Like coffee extract. If you like strong, rich french press coffee, you'll love the aeropress. It's so much faster, easier to clean and the taste is very comparable. Because it's coffee concentrate, you can adjust the strength to suit your taste. When I go to Mom's, we use 4 scoops of coffee, fill the tube with water and press it. Then pour that into her caraffe and fill it the rest of the way with hot water. It makes the same amount as her 5cup coffee maker. But it tastes so much better. Personally, I could drink that straight, but she's afraid of growing hair on her chest :-)

Hello and thanks for asking ... as my answer will save you a lot of grief and dollars. Even Bodum coffee presses are different sizes. I ordered this Beeker and it was too wide at the bottom to fit. The company, when contacted, told me that I had to pay the postage back PLUS a 25% restocking fee. It wasn't worth the effort or cost. I would never purchase from this company again. I hope that my answer has helped you. perhaps if you contacted the company that made your press ... they could supply you with the correct replacement . :)

I used the same press and stainless holder and handle. It just slide right in. On my carafe holder there is one screw to tight or loosen its grip on the glass.

It's easy to avoid the plastic touching the coffee. The above scenario depends on the amount of water and or size of contanier being used for the process. Do a simple test! Measure your desired amount of water, add the water to your vessel. Then place the dripper on top of the container. If the bottom of the dripper is wet; adjust the volume of the water lower or increase the size of your container. Btw, its a great product! I've been using mine for over two years.

I had a similar problem with my first AeroPress. It turned out I was grinding too fine. By backing off just a little and making the grind larger, the coffee flowed and the flavor was the same. I hope that helps.

I removed the drip tray on the drip plate; gets you about 3/4" more height. Sometimes I remove the whole tray to accommodate the cup. BUT, I have an earlier released version of this machine with none of the added bells 'n whistles [no cup sensor, only a BREW button in the upper right corner of the machine].See if it works for your machine.

It's designed specifically to use with an AeroPress. I haven't tried to make tea with my AeroPress, but I suppose it's possible. Once you've been making coffee with it, though, you would never want to make tea with it - flavors don't mix.

Yes, I've used both the French Press and the AeroPress. If you use the Stainless Steel Coffee Filter Disk ($15) for the AeroPress Coffee Maker, it doesn't filter out the tasty oils. The results are great!

No. There is really not much plastic taste. Even with hot water where you would expect some of that taste to come through, that is something that I've never found with the AeroPress.

No if you folow the directions, plunge the coffee, then remove the bottom of the plunger and push the plunger right throught. You will end up with a pluck of pressed coffee grinds which you can shake in the bin and you will need to rinse only the end of the plunger which is sticking out. The barrell of the aero press is clean from plunging the coffee. As long as the rubber part of the aero press is extended right through the barrell of the plunger you can store like this. I just put a little water on end when ready to make coffee the next time and pull the plunger out to start again. Best coffee maker there is without lots of money used mine for a few years ow and if you lose something can buy a replacement part easily
