JavaJug2 with JavaJacket for the AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker (Red)

This thing is awesome. First, it's the perfect compliment to the aeropress, both as a carrying case and, of course, as the perfect brewing cup. I just used it for a pancake pourer last weekend, and it worked flawlessly due to its no-drip spout. It is a very versatile piece of kit that comes in handy at home just as much as travelling!

I purchased the JavaJug2 as a portable travel companion for my aeropress to allow me to both store and share different styles of beverages along the way.At first glance the JavaJug2 is very visually appealing with a similar aesthetic to that of astainless steel French Press. It is very light while still maintaining resiliency. The JavaJacket is also a nice addition that, while aesthetically pleasing, also provides much needed functionality.ProsThis product elegantly provides a way of serving multiple persons in one sitting with the traditionally single serve brew method that is coffee lovers know simply as the Aeropress. The laser etched fluid level lines on the interior of the JavaJug2 do not scratch not wash off. The 32oz container itself is very spacious allowing you to either store the Aeropress with a portable grinder or with the paddle scoop and even a frothing wand if you choose to do so. The lid allows you to maintain the cleanliness of your Aeropress’s brewing surface. If you prefer to use the Aeropress funnel instead of the lid, the Java Jacket offers enough elasticity to secure the funnel in place of the lid. The JavaJacket provides insulation to the otherwise single walled container to keep beverages hot or cold for longer. Finally the strap of the JavaJacket offers stability to the lid to keep your Aeropress contained for travel.ConsWhile well made, the latch provides little functional use for storage/travel. As a result the Aeropress and other stores accessories will not remain in place. The JavaJacket resolves this issue but makes the latch pretty unnessesary. Also though aesthetically pleasing the handle is fairly substantial for those who will use this for travel, especially compared to other travel or camping coffee options that have some form of collapsible handle.All in all the JavaJug2 is a functional travel and storage companion for the Aeropress that slows you to share your favorite Aeropress coffee with multiple people either at home in the office or on the go, just add water.

I love my JavaJug! It is solidly constructed, simple, light, and meticulously engineered. The aeropress is absolutely incomplete without this product. I use the JavaJug to carry my aeropress to and from work in my backpack, which has both reduced my carry weight versus carrying a filled thermos and allowed me to have the freshest possible coffee at work. As a cyclist, every ounce counts.The ability to boil and measure water in the JavaJug is indispensable. It takes all of the guesswork out of making multiple cups of coffee or getting a consistent single americano. After boiling several times on coil, glass, and gas burners, the Jug is unscathed and the marks are as clear as when I bought it. Even the neoprene sleeve is thick and sturdy, dries quickly, and relatively stain resistant. Because the bare metal is not very insulated, I strongly discourage choosing the option without the sleeve.I was very impressed with the quality of the JavaJug. The clasp is secure, although I found it fits best if you push the press towards the opposite side as you clasp it.TL;DR - Buy this yesterday if you love your AeroPress. If I could give it more stars, I would.

This Javajug is a great accessory for the Aeropress. I just went to look and am glad I bought it last spring. I can't find them on Amazon today, 1/29/17 and it says they don't know if they will be back in stock. Maybe because it was pretty expensive for what it is and the cozy make it even more pricey. I paid $28.90 for my JavaJug, cozy combo. The Aeropress is sold separately.I love that my Aeropress and it's stuff stays together and clean in the JavaJug. They should have made more cozy colors to choose from. They only had red, blue and grey. I do wish that the top latch held a little better. At home it is no big deal because it sits on the counter by my coffee stuff and never tips over but while traveling and camping it has opened up a few times resulting me in chasing down parts in the coffee/tea/cooking stuff bin and having to wash the parts before using them. I am going to try and bend the latch a little to grab better.I love the measuring lines in it. I usually just make americano by pressing and topping it up with hot water. I love the stainless for looks and functionality. The cozy keeps my coffee hot for the 2nd cup. If this thing had a lip protector I would drink out of it. It keeps the coffee warm better than my mug. I need a mug cozy to keep my coffee hot. I preheat the Javajug, Aeropress and my coffee mug with boiling water before I start making coffee and still the mug gets cold fast especially when camping. I guess I need to drink faster.They say you can boil water in it but the handle gets really hot and it is hard to maneuver on the stove while trying not to catch the hot pad on fire. I tried it on our campstove once after taking the cozy off and will not use it on a burner, electric or gas again. It is too narrow for safety and the stainless is a little discolored from that adventure. Also after boiling water in it I was concerned that it was too hot to put the cozy back on. Sticking to the teapot for boiling water.As for washing it up I haven't had rusting on the latch pin and latch like some other reviews but I don't put it in the dishwasher or in soapy water. I just put some hot water in it, dump that out and wipe it out with a paper towel and let it air dry. Same with the Aeropress. I just rinse that with hot water after pressing and dumping the grounds on the flower bed at home or in the trash, wiping with paper towel then letting that air dry.Overall I would buy this again and would recommend it to other Aeropress users.
