I wouldn't call this thing BIFL. It'll last a couple of years, but I'm on my second one now. The graduated numbers wear off pretty quickly, the rubber will break down eventually, and in my first one, eventually hairline cracks started appearing in the tube. It's well made for what it is, but almost nothing made primarily of plastic will be BIFL, just because of material shortcomings alone.

It does make a good cup though, even with the reusable metal filters, which are the real BIFL.

Aeropress is great! But as others have mentioned here they aren't completely BIFL.

Also a part of me just can't get over the hot water in contact with plastic aspect.

Been eyeing this as an alternative! Definitely a bit pricier but from what I've heard it's the BIFL version.

It's been a game-changer for camp coffee. Light and durable enough to throw in a pack and not think about it.

Not a fan of Amazon, but ya the Aeropress just keeps going. Even the rubber seals on mine are still good and it must be a decade old now. I've used it multiple times per day for many of those years.

I just can't get into Aeropresses but I keep wanting to give them a shot.

I just have a metal pour-over, it works pretty well and is unlikely to break on me anytime soon (as, it's just a thin metal sheet with holes in it)

I’d say this is a more bifl

Two words: moka pots. Stainless steel, preferably.

This is what I am using lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drip_coffee#/media/File:Kaffeefilter.jpg Feels more timeless/bitfl than the Aerothingy to me. Cheaper as well.

Stainless french press, that's BIFL
