I have been using the regular (smaller) AeroPress for years and believe it produces the best-tasting coffee. I was frustrated with only being able to make a small amount of coffee at a time so ordered the XL model to increase the capacity. I am disappointed that it will not fit over a standard coffee travel mug and that it drips so much before I can set the plunger to let it steep. Maybe make an adapter so it can fit over a smaller mug opening? And figure out a drip-stop for this model.
