Even down here in the land of coffee, it's quite expensive.
We have a normal drip automatic coffee maker but it seems to use SO much coffee to get a good, strong cup.
Is a French press better?
What type of contraption gives you the most bang for your coffee buck?
Not talking expense of the unit, but best use of coffee itself.
Believe it or not, I just use a pour over method -- regular strainer, lined with a coffee filter, put the desired amount of coffee, pour boiling water over and coffee flows right into my cup. I gave up on coffee makers due to gradual water sentiment build up and could never get high enough water temp. With this method, I control the flow of water over the coffee grounds and make sure all coffee gets saturated. This only makes one mug at a time though but I never have any wasted coffee and it is always to my taste. I do use dark fine coffee though because I like it strong.
There is only one AeroPress. I think the only difference is the press material - smoky and clear.
The price varies due to number of accessories.
You could also order reusable filter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JV..._t2_B0047BIWSK
I would contact aerobie.com and see if they would send the filters to you.
Are you sure Amazon will not send it to your location? Perhaps there are other sellers like eBay ...
According to some happy users:
" The AeroPress comes with 350 filters. Replacement packs of 350 filters are sold everywhere for about $3. You can also rinse a filter under the tap and re-use it up to about twenty times."
Wow! That's 7000 coffees!
I'm looking at Amazon and there are several. Which one do you have, that you like best?
The one with the frothier attached and the glass carafe.. it does latte ,cappuccino and special brews.. it even adjusts for the strength when you make ice coffee and allows for the ice

Clearly then... you aren't making enough coffee at at one time.
Get a thermos and save the other two mug fulls for later.
And it's still the 'most frugal' coffee making machine choice.

That's far more about the coffee (bean/roast/grind) used than the machine.
