Finally, AeroPress made of glass and metal, came out. Its double-walled design should reduce heat loss.
Price: $149,95.

To use at home, instead of a much cheaper French press, or a similarly priced cheap espresso machine that makes coffee 100x better. Obviously /s
I see your sarcasm, but all three of these things make very different types of coffee. Even if you can't tell the difference between Aeropress and French press coffee (which probably not a large percent of people can), you can certainly tell the difference between espresso and immersion, right?
As for this thing: plastics do degrade over time, and an insulated glass body is a nice upgrade. The metal press won't contribute anything to the coffee quality, but it looks better, and probably feels nicer.
Plastics may degrade, but (as others have mentioned) if a plastic one lasts 10+ years, so far, where's the value in a glass one?
Plus you could buy 4 plastic ones for the cost of 1 glass that could far more easily break.
I'm all for glass in a LOT of stuff. I even kind of like it here (for the reasons you've stated), I just can't get behind the cost.
I tend to go for better/best quality in most things, I hate buying stuff twice. But there's value in being able to replace a less robust device for 1/4 the cost of the "higher quality" version.
Value for me would be that the glass one doesnt acquire stale coffee taste, no matter how well I try to clean my plastic one it seems to have some residual taste. Try brewing a cup without coffee grounds , just hot water and tatse it.
