I actually have this and take it with me on every trip. I used to use an Aeropress, but didn't like how bulky it was. I had bought a stainless steel filter for the Aeropress for $20 more because I got tired of using the paper filters (by the way to the person who asked if you can use paper filters with this Cafflano, you can but don't need to in my opinion). In comparison between the Cafflano and the Aeropress, I prefer Cafflano because it's way smaller (comes in a cool little carrying case), lighter, easier to press, and easier to clean because I just put water in it and "pump" it to get the filter clean.
FrankieeeI'm guessing the filter is the cleaning you mean? Part of the allure of the Aeropress is it cleans the tube by brewing, and all the cleanup is a quick rinse of the piston head and the filter cap.
