I have learned today that the inverted method of using the Aeropress would have improved my early attempts at using it. Was losing way to much water through the filter before I even got to the point of stirring.

The Breville Infuser looks like a nice machine as well.

The wife and I still have around 2 months worth of Nespresso pods before deciding on the next step.

Any machines to stay away from? Or better selections / pricing available from states?
Yes inverted is how I do it. Quite a bit easier! Can YouTube inverted method by not so ancient Chinese secrets. I follow his method pretty closely. This way you can pour half water, stir it up then pour the rest afterwards. The stir is key as when you pour the rest of the water in you'll notice the krema

I still have a good moka pot which is a bit bigger than the aeropress. Good for making two cups. Surprised aeropress hasn't come out with a bigger model (why not!)
